Session #: 336-W120
Presenter(s): Bryan Chapman Session Length: 1:15 hr Event: 2006 ASTD International Conference Date: May 7-10, 2006
Using technology to train employees and customers isn't a luxury enjoyed only by large organizations. In fact, studies show that the largest growth of learning management systems and content authoring tools is in small to medium-sized companies. These companies share some of the same issues driving the use of e-learning: consistent workforce training, trainees separated by distances, automated regulatory and compliance tracking, the need for 24x7x360 access to learning material, and just-in-time learning at the point of performance. Join this session to explore real-life best practices that demonstrate how smaller organizations have optimized their use of e-learning to address these issues, leveraged the role of subject matter experts in content authoring, instituted rapid learning development, aligned learning technologies with company needs, and developed an ROI model based on smaller learning populations. Learning Objectives - Calculate ROI for smaller, online learning implementations, while factoring in less tangible ROI measures. Align e-learning infrastructure components with specific business needs and desired learning outcomes. Use methods to create e-learning infrastructure with minimal budgets.
