Rapid E-learning Is it really different ? Mark Harrison

What is the difference between rapid content development and the usual process of creating e-learning? When and how do you decide you need some rapid e-learning?

E-learning development is traditionally a software creation model

Programming is time-consuming and so you get it specc’d fully first

Rapid Development does not need you to get it right first time

It’s about bringing interactive designers back into the development stage

It’s about sharing ownership

It’s about ‘professionalising’ informal learning

It’s about effectiveness and being ‘fit for purpose’

It’s about using what is out there – Rapid E-learning meets Web 2.0

£6k or less*/hr Needs to be at least 10k/hr Budget Team of one or two Project manager, instructional designer, writers, SME, graphics, developer, tester… Team size High Low Opportunities for re-use Generally short to medium, often ‘disposable’ Long (expected at least 2 yrs) Shelf-life Very low High Use of external developers High Low Use of authoring tools Often the author with support Primarily contributor/reviewer SME involvement In-house Commissioned Development process One to four weeks Three to four months Timeline for development Rapid E-learning Traditional E-learning Development Factor

Aim must be to accelerate through the phases whenever possible

Do this and it will be quicker (and less expensive) But… manage stakeholder expectations!
