eLearning Link and Rating Service;

This site will give learners an opportunity to rank various learning sites and technologies, to provide guidelines for future eLearning explorers;

The name and logo of the eLearning provider (linked using FrameIt.cgi and cgi bins so the new site appears within our learning interface window. with modest right side and bottom bars)
A short opinionated description of the site's content and value to learning in general
A categorization indicator (? PD, software, certification, skills, knowledge?)
Our ranking, and "Top Listed" for one of them
"Most Visited" designation within category (if it is)
Traffic report; number of click throughs (logos and links) generated from our site since ___?___ listing date on our service
" Rate It" Visiting Learners' Ratings (we facilitate calculation of rankings)
"Map" all the alternatives in this space along the 2 most relevant criteria (fun / content quality?)
"Report Bad Link"
...
"Refer It" the site to someone else (within our frame)
"Submit a site" capability builds content (user generated = independent source of info)
Facilitate user debate in threaded discussion forum (ASP'd out to start)
The whole "My" component (X)
Goal would be to monetized through arrangements with eLearning providers (commission-junction.com cookies sent to facilitate eCommerce transactions).

Systems Simulation: When a computer system is used in the course of doing a task, why not built a simulated system right into the training for that task? • Allows learner to practice the use of the system • Meets the needs of a variety of skill levels

Information in Business Workplace Context: When decision-making skills are required by the job, why not provide a simulated environment where all the real-world resources are available? • Activity is relevant to the workplace • Learner is engaged in applying the material • Resources, guidance and feedback are provided

: When information is needed quickly, why not put it in an on-the-job context? • Matches how content will be used on the job • Immediately useful, relevant

Discovery Learning: In a troubleshooting environment, why not allow the learner to discover the relationships between the concepts presented and their application in the real world? • Engages learner in the material • Provides input and guidance when needed

Until recently, the typical unit of production, delivery and consumption of eLearning was a course. While there is nothing wrong with courses, a smaller, modular unit of instruction will fully leverage the advantages of eLearning

Learning Paths

Knowles Postulates" Knowles believed that learning programs should be competency-based and that adults required the following conditions to learn:

1 - Relevancy
2 - Learning Pathways
3 - Correlation
4 - Motivation
5 - Empowerment

Finally, learning bytes are combined with a learning path to create a topic, a lesson, or an entire course (Sharable Content Objects", or learning objects).

Learning bytes can be easily mixed and matched to form different versions of a course, or replaced when information becomes dated.
Learning bytes can even be used independently as performance support . The focus today is not just in the development of a single course to be used for a single training purpose. Instead, we are thinking of their content development as an investment in a learning asset that can be reconfigured to meet a variety of learning needs. These smaller chunks of learning are combined to create performance support tools, lessons, courses or entire curriculum.
The learning path itself contains all the programming necessary to tie the learning bytes together into a course and connect, or "interoperate" with industry standard learning management systems (LMS).
three components can be combined to create eLearning that is easily adjustable.
A course can meet the business needs of the day and then be reconfigured for tomorrow's needs.
a change in one "building block" does not affect the others. A change in a product specification, for example, only requires the replacement of a single "block", rather than a revision of an entire course.

Future-proofing Payoff (What does all this mean when applied to your eLearning?)
• Content and programming are kept separate so that you can easily change content without having to revise the programming.
• Once built, the same learning byte, or sharable content object, can be reused in different courses or environments.
• A learning byte can be revised, replaced or copied into another course entirely without necessitating changes to the original course.
• A searchable database of learning bytes can be deployed over the web for access by different departments.

eLearning Applications

Skills development

Product knowledge

Salesforce, dealer, agent training

Computer systems training

A common focus on results

A partnership is more than words; it is an open and productive relationship based on a common goal. The LearningByte Collaborative Model begins even before the contract is signed as our consultants and designers work with you to

Once you engage LearningByte, these elements are brought together in an all-team Project Kickoff that develops consensus and launches the initiative. Under the team leadership of the Project Manager, your requirements and the shared vision are carried throughout the project. Open collaboration with you and the team continues, as the design is refined and cost/benefit decisions are made. As each element is approved the team follows through with you based on the mutual commitment to earning the highest return possible.

eLearning Instructional Strategy
• Active Learning: learning that includes feedback
• Clustering/Chunking: Sequencing similar information for instructional purposes
• Didactic Design: technique in which a learner is presented information and asked to respond.
• Metaskills: Cognitive strategy a learner uses to process information; includes chunking, recalling, or connecting
• Modularity: An element of instructional design that allows a learner to use each unit or module of a course in a non-sequential order
• Passive Learning: Learning that does not include feedback
• Transfer: Ability of learner to apply new learning to dissimilar learning situations

"eLearning" is a vision of what corporate training can become. Its hallmarks are:

learning on Internet-age steroids: often real-time, 24/7, anywhere, anytime
learner-centered, personalized to the individual & customized to the organization
network-assisted, often assembling learning experiences on the fly
a blend of learning methods -- virtual classroom, simulation, collaboration, community, even instructor-led...
the whole learning enchilada, from assessment through testing and sometimes certification
online administration -- handling registration, payment and charge-backs, and monitoring learner progress
