Making eLearning Really Work

eLearning in some form has been around for most of the lives of anyone who might be reading this. From the beginning, and again with each new advance, eLearning has been heralded as the future of learning. Yet talk to most anyone and you will find that for the all the promise, there is disappointment. For every positive case study, there are five dull, boring, required courses. The question isn’t can eLearning teach, but can it really make a difference in the workplace? How can we make eLearning work?

eLearning is clearly one of the options for professional learning in the workplace, just like a chicken sandwich is on the menu at many restaurants you might visit. Chicken sandwiches can be good, nutritious, and delicious – to some people. Some people love a chicken sandwich, others not so much. And even for those who love chicken sandwiches, they likely eat other things too. Even Chick-fil-A serves more than their famous chicken sandwich.

Just like a chicken sandwich can be a useful, even desirable way to transmit nutrition, eLearning can be useful and desirable way to transfer knowledge. But is it or should it be the only option?

Making eLearning work requires proper selection and preparation. And like the chicken sandwich, eLearning needs to be part of a broader menu of learning options.
