Be an Elearning Action Hero!

Cathy Moore offers us a nice slide show that explains how to structure training around action rather than information. Starting with the business goals, training designers should identify the actions that lead to those goals, and then create activities that help staff practice those behaviours. Only if information is needed to assist that practice should it be a part of the e-learning design. This accords with at least a part of my own view of learning, which is that learning is the result of practice, rather than the mere presentation of information. However, I have problems with the corporate e-learning paradigm. I would rather see objectives and actions selected by the learner, rather than by 'business objectives'. And I think that practice should occur within an environment that facilitates conversation and reflection.
