Providing eLearning Your Learners Will Love: The Essential Checklist

"Blaming PowerPoint for boring eLearning is like blaming Word for poor instructional design." ~ David Anderson, Multimedia Learning
Have you ever been asked to review a piece of eLearning only to discover it's simply a book printed online? Or a poor recording of a class designed for a live classroom setting?
When learning professionals are tasked with choosing eLearning for their workforces, selecting quality offerings is critical to the overall success of the learning. Today’s employee is accustomed to high-quality digital multimedia and will not respond well to poorly designed online training. Unfortunately, much of the eLearning developed and sold today does not meet the quality standards that discerning employees demand.
To assist learning professionals in quickly evaluating potential online training solutions, Enerdynamics has developed an essential checklist for eLearning evaluation. The checklist helps learning professionals evaluate courses based on key elements including:
- Are instructionally sound learning objectives clearly stated?
- Are all learning objectives tested?
- Is the course interactive and engaging?
- Is the interactivity meaningful?
- Is the course organized into pieces of appropriate length?
- Are the graphics meaningful?
- Are visual design elements consistent?
- Is the course text/audio clear and concise?
- Is the course free of grammatical errors, typos and poor audio?
- Is navigation intuitive?
- Is course content up to date?
- Does the course work on multiple devices?
- Is there a way for learners to ask questions?
For more details on these questions and how to use them for quickly evaluating eLearning, download the eLearning Evaluation: Essential Checklist. This checklist is a one-page resource for you to print and use each time you are asked to review potential online training solutions.
