E-learning Adoption
“The move toward blended solutions, cross marketing, and integrated technologies is blurring the previous distinctions between the sectors. It is now plausible to speak of the greater ‘learning market,’ which in the U.S. is now worth over $900 billion.”
Corporations: $10.6 billion
Association: $3.4 billion
Government: $2.7 billion
NGOs: $1 billion

Some Definitions: Types of Learning
Distance learningLearning that’s not classroom-based
E-learningLearning that’s Internet-based; online learning
Blended learningLearning that combines different types of technology-enabled experiences or combines technology-enabled products with face-to-face, classroom-based experiences
6
Some Definitions: Types of E-learning Synchronous
E-learning provided in real-time, typcially via Web conferencing, a Webcast, or chat
AsynchronousEnables participants to engage when they choose
Self-PacedLearner works independently, generally with complete control over when learning content is accessed and pace of learning
FacilitatedLearning experience guided by at least one individual—for instance, an instructor or subject matter expert—and usually according to a prescribed schedule

Options and Examples Virtual seminar
– Real-time (synchronous), instructor-led online learning event – Application- and document-sharing, whiteboard, polling, video– Internet telephony (VoIP) or conference call
Self-paced e-learning– On-demand, anytime access (asynchronous)– Can come back to review a lesson or concept as needed
Facilitated, asynchronous e-learning– No need for participants to be online at the same time, although
may have timeframe for completion– Projects, message boards, readings, tutorials– Primary format used by colleges and universities
8
Virtual Seminar Time-sensitive
briefings, presentations, and software application training
Interaction and motivation
Invest time to learn how to use these tools
Isoph, WebEx, Centra, Live Meeting, etc.

Synchronous format
Instructor-led
VoIP or companion conference call
PowerPoint slides, whiteboard, application-sharing, Web surfing, text chat, polling
Record for playback
Virtual Seminar: Characteristics and Features
10
Broadening Impact: Drucker Foundation Two live online
sessions– Facilitated– Interactive
Discussion boards– Before and after
Resources– Upload and
download– Link exchange
11
Self-paced E-learning
On-demand format: anytime, anywhere, own pace
Flexible and scalable
Can be costly for custom development; low marginal costs to deliver
Can buy off-the-shelf
Motivation and encouragement for learners crucial
13
Facilitated, Asynchronous E-learning
Time-limited format for moving through materials and participating
Numerous software packages or ASPs available (Isoph, Blackboard, WebCT, etc.)
Limited number of participants per event for quality offering
Significant commitment of instructor time

Diagnose and Plan
Business goalsWhat will e-learning provide that we don’t have? How will it change what we do? How does it fit with overall organizational goals and mission?
Readiness, or needs, assessmentMoney? People? Time? How does this e-learning improve knowledge or skills? Time critical? Ongoing need or short term?
18
Analyze and Design
Content analysisWhat range of topics do we teach? How do they fit together? Which are most important online? Which are most time-sensitive?
Audience analysisWho are we serving? If multiple groups, who is most important? Why? Who is most likely to adopt?
InfrastructureTechnology? Staffing?
20
Develop Learning Content
Specific content analysisLearning objectives, course length, assessment plan, style, tone, voice
Specific audience analysisWho, where, education level, experience with technology or online learning, access to technology
Presentation of specific contentApproach, interactivity, who’s responsible for development and delivery
