Online courses and its effectiveness
I think below mentioned points should be taken into account for increasing interactive and effective
1:- Nature of the course should be more as natural learning for example:- create interest in the learner to start themselves.
2:- Create community type of formal /informal environment, where learners can interact with each other. It’s like creating an online class room. Ensure prompt instruction and proper instructor.
3:- Easy and smart navigation and guidance.
4:- Keep surprises quiz, questions accolades, rewards etc.
5:- Keep short and crisp format and sessions.
6:- Interactive feedback system.
7:- Use technology for more attractive design, look etc.. Use voice, videos as tutorials.
8:- Link with social media , reference to be more authentic and reliable.
Follow the below rules to make your E-Learning more useful and interactive:
1. Don't create a course because you like it - create it because the learner needs it
2. Courses need to be relevant - to your learner, your company and your industry
3. Understand your objectives - what are you trying to do here which you can't do in a classroom course
4. Build the system to be easy to navigate and fun to engage with
5. Don't push the learner to take courses - make your content so compelling that the learner gets pulled
6. Let the learners learn at their own pace and own time
7. Create courses which are visually appealing, interactive, challenging and fun at the same time
8. Follow-up course completion with training evaluation and learning certificates to grow engagement
build it inclusive of questions and commentary intriguing response and discussions. The result will be interactivity but never will it match an interactive life training.
Online learning si a trend today. However, it faces serious issues : lack of discipline, inaccurate trainings materials, training management challenges... In my opinion, online training should be used as a support to instructor led training. There should be a leader to follow, a clear time scale, well done evaluations and simulations, distributed learning architecture (learning champions in departments), and well developed content of course. Good luck!
