7 Best Practices for Developing E-Learning Content
Despite the current tough economy, forward looking organizations continue to invest in developing their human capital. In the past, employees were trained in the skills needed for a specific job, however in this rapidly changing business environment, cross-training can help employees to be more versatile.
E-learning has become an increasingly used training tool due to its cost-effectiveness and flexibility. Organizations are hopping aboard the technology training bandwagon in a big way. So if your organization is currently using e-learning technology (or considering doing so) then you should bear in mind the following seven best practices for developing e-learning content:
- Make e-learning engaging, interactive, and experiential.
- Use industry, company or job-relevant examples in e-Learning modules.
- Involve subject-matter experts or thought leaders in the development of e-learning content.
- Use research-based or reliable information when developing content.
- Use blended methods if possible to accommodate different learning styles.
- Use creativity or innovation in design.
- Create easy-to-use support materials.

Re: Meta Tags
- [quote="ChrisH":tzc1bohg]I'm just curious what you all think -- -
How important do you think meta tags are? If the content is keyword optimized and they are being used correctly (as per Google's current instructions) how important are meta tags??
Chris[/quote:tzc1bohg]
Metatags were very important 10 years ago. Now, search engines are smarter...
There are 2 very important things on your page:
1/ Page title: make sure to place some keywords in your title (avoid title like "welcome to my website, great information resource". You are wasting prime keyword real estate.
2/ Content. Content. Content. Content. Content. Oh, did I mention content?? Your content as to mention your main keywords several times.
3/ <h> and <b> tags are very important too. They tell search engines you emphasize these keywords.
Re: Best looking social networking site?
- Hi Kevin
[quote:3h76yt08]With so many social networking sites to pick and choose from, what influences your decision to join a particilar site? Is it just your friends, the content, people using it or looks??[/quote:3h76yt08]
For me, the most essential criteria in selecting a Social Networking Site is its Content followed closely by popularity- in terms of daily visitors. Then comes the Content followed by the Friends and looks.
Most of do social networking to attract traffic to their website(s) and as such the Content and Popularity of the site are important.
btw, the list doesn't have digg or netscape or del.is.us which are the top social media sites.
Re: This ones a winner
- Dear Sboggs
Congratulations on your networking idea.
The guys that want $20K might be trying to bleed you or perhaps their approach is just to complex and expensive.
I'm a hardware guy so I can't help with your issue.
Have you studied networking and programming? You might be able to make your idea fly with some training.
You can buy a website and have it online in 20 minutes. Developing a web site that generates traffic requires some work.

- Hi Yinka,
Thank you for your input. I think you're right about content being more important than graphic design. "Content is king" as they say.
