There is no doubt that online training and elearning has made a profound impression
upon HRD and is here to stay. One of the key reasons underpinning elearning success
is that both the Chief Executive and the Training Manager realize the difficulties,
and the time and the cost, associated with collecting a group of people together
for a traditional modularised management or personal skills development programme.
What is also apparent is the difficulty in establishing the training needs
of people and evaluating what they have learnt and more importantly the extent
of learning retention and its application.
Online training most represent one of the biggest
benefits to human civilisation since the Internet itself was
created. However introducing an online training system is
itself not without its problems.
The first problem associated with introducing an online training
system for most organisations is that the elearning process
is not well understood. Also what is not realized is that
elearning, like any new initiative, involves radical changes
to management thinking, skills, systems, processes, etc.,
with consequences cascading throughout the organisation.
This article is aimed at helping those organisations who
are considering introducing an online learning system - hopefully
the HRD Online training management and elearning system. Why?
Because although we will value your business, experience has
taught us to avoid going headlong into an elearning implementation
without first considering with our customer what their online
training requirements are, what the learning culture and supporting
HRD systems are, and therefore what the implementation of
elearning might involve. Only then can we hope to implement
an effective online training solution for your organisation
and its people.
Whilst mistakes in implementing elearning have been made
we can all learn from this experience. I am sure that with
the right attitude, careful planning, effective elearning
procedures and a qualified online training support environment
we can work together to ensure that your elearning implementation
will be a resounding success.
