eLearning Cuts Costs? Should I care? - eLearning Training vs Instructor-Led Training I'm a big believer in the power of eLearning, but I get tired of hearing that eLearning cuts costs in comparison to face-to-face instructor-led training (ILT). Can you honestly say your eLearning is at least as effective as your ILT? How do you know? http://elearningindustry.com/elearning-cuts-costs-should-i-care

Since Instructional Design owes much of its theory and practice to the military, it seems only reasonable to use military terms to describe it. Here is a military objective: Given a platoon of light infantry, take hill 451 and hold it until relieved. Artillery and air support may be called in as required. Performance, conditions, criterion: In our profession as in the military, the last two do not count without the first. Given a clearly stated a performance problem, the instructional systems technologist will provide a firing solution consisting of a performance-based, criterion referenced objective and the lowest cost, highest efficiency medium to deliver it in 4 hours or less. I use the term "firing solution" deliberately because there is a direct historic military analogy. The Allied bombing campaigns of WWII used what is termed "saturation bombing" strategy. Due to the lack of guidance and aiming tools, hundreds of bombs would be dropped in the hope at least a few would hit the target. In spite of the cost in lives and resources, it was the best they could do and deemed necessary.

I've seen a couple of recommendations for tools and software on here seperately. I'm a freelance Instructional Designer, in my first year as an independent. I'm finding tools here and there, as I'm trying to minimize operating costs where possible. Individually it seems that many ID's and consultants have their favorite go-to tools that they know. I think it would be really great for us to pull together a list of free ID tools into one area. For example, someone in this group recommend Jing as an alternative to Snagit. I used Xmind the mindmapping tool for needs assessment and topic analysis. posted by Erin Gratton What recommendations do you have fellow ID's?

Trends in Learning Technologies to Watch in 2013 Social/Informal Learning, Mobile Learning, Video - these three items have been "hot" for several years now, both in education and the corporate sector. Many are excited about them but the adoption of them has been slower than predicted. Barriers include cost, technology issues still not resolved, confusion about the differences between formal and informal learning, design factors, cultural factors, concerns about security, etc. http://elearningindustry.com/subjects/general/item/423-trends-learning-technologies-2013

Are your employees actually learning from technology-based training programs? Much has been written about the technology of training. The story-line is often the same: companies are champing at the bit for the opportunity to exercise the latest training technologies in an effort to reach employees effectively while reducing costs. This trend is understandable. Technology has made training much more convenient, an essential factor for global enterprises that need to train employees across the world. Instead of supersizing the travel budget to bring employees to the home office or other training center, technology can help trim their bottom line by pushing training out into the regional offices. But are their employees better trained as a result of this technological boom? With companies fast abandoning traditional instructor-lead training in favor of tech-based training, it is increasingly important to ensure that technology remains the training messenger rather than becoming the message.

Do you share source files of your e-Learning deliverable with the client? Would you share it WITHOUT additional cost? IF NOT, then how do you calculate the price? Does a standard ratio apply?

Last Mile Learning is a key initiative of LINGOs (Learning in NGOs), a not-for-profit NGO. LINGOs' vision is for anyone working to reduce poverty and alleviate suffering in the developing world to have access to world-class learning opportunities at little or no cost. about LingosThe "last mile" concept originated in the telecommunications/cable industry. The "last mile" is the final leg of delivering connectivity from a communications provider to a customer. This last mile is a logistical challenge because mapping the final destination wires and cables to remote rural areas without an existing structure of connectivity is physically rigorous. The "last mile" idea also applies to serving areas in need of humanitarian relief. Aid supplies are sometimes able to reach a central transport hub in an affected area but need the additional planning and networking to get resources transferred to those pockets of need without waste, loss, or misdirection. With LINGOs' Last Mile Learning, educational resources reach those critically in need, capitalizing on existing intellectual capital, goodwill and efficiencies of scale.

Does Bloom's Taxonomy still have a role to play in e-learning? Mayes and de Freitas (2004) state that the use of technology can be used to achieve better learning outcomes, more effective assessments or a more cost effective way of bringing learning environments to students; and that reforming practice requires transformation of the understanding of the principles. So what are the pedagogical principles behind "e" learning? Is Blooms Taxonomy Relevant to e-learning? http://elearningindustry.com/does-blooms-taxonomy-still-have-a-role-to-play-in-e-learning
