 eLearning and Instructional Design
Creating meaningful and engaging learning experiences
In the last decade eLearning has proven to be a flexible and time-efficient
means of studying and achieving continuing professional development.
We are also seeing a shift away from the traditional formal learning methods
to informal social learning and knowledge transfer. These days learning and
development professionals are therefore continuously looking for new ways of
mobilising and sharing information and knowledge between colleagues and
communities in an online environment.
However, those involved in eLearning are facing pitfalls in developing
interactive and engaging eLearning content, determining the most effective
technologies to invest in for the most effective outcome, and implementing
emerging mediums and devices such as mobile Learning, game-based
learning and eLearning in the cloud.
