1. These suggestions are not specific in any way to "E-learning". These are the same things one should do to support workplace learners regardless of the medium of delivery. You could just as easily substitute audio/video cassette, printed booklets or cuniform on stone tablets for e-learning in this article. 2. These are all good points, but probably more important than tracking performance, rewarding completion, communications campaigns, get 'personal' and individual comparisons is ... ... have good educational activities and content. By good I mean - relevant, appropriate, germaine, fills needs, stimulates, engages, challenges, addresses different learning styles ... And the best way to do this is find people who want to help others learn and people who know the content from the practical point of view to design and facilitate the instruction. So, in short, many of the things mentioned in the article are secondary to good instructional design. Along these same lines, I find it disturbing that the of few articles I have read on this site many focus their attention on learning as a destination and not as a process. The measures being suggested for indicating if 'learning' has happened include 'having the manager sign off', 'high completetion rates' with little mention of if people learned and if that affected their job performance. Just as this article uses the term 'e-learning' to re-state ideas and try to bring focus back to some basic principles -- as trainers/HR we need to use 'e-learning' as a way to focus on what is really important -- the learning part.
