Design 100 explores the fundamentals of designing effective and engaging e-learning.

Bad training is expensive. 

When learners go through a learning experience and fail to achieve the desired outcomes, it represents immense waste on three fronts. 

Time

The hours learners spent in training instead of helping the bottom line.

Resources 

The money and manpower spent on creating and supporting the training itself.

Morale

The existential cost of learners having wasted time and energy on something meaningless.

Good training has the opposite effect. 

While it represents an investment in time and resources, it returns on that investment in the form of improved human performance. Good training can boost morale, too. Good learning experiences show participants that they’re worth investing in. It helps them gain meaningful skills and builds confidence.

If e-learning is a part of your curriculum, your product, or your training ecosystem, you owe it to your learners, your organization, and yourself to make that e-learning good. 

Unfortunately, many of us have had negative experiences with e-learning.

And that’s not surprising. There's a lot of bad e-learning out there—so much that the word “e-learning” itself is often associated with endless slides, superfluous narration, and mind-numbing boredom. No wonder learners the world over groan at the mention of it.

Organizations often turn to e-learning as a cost-saving strategy, but bad e-learning is as much of a waste as bad training of any other type. If training is boring, then we can assume learners aren’t paying much attention to it. If learners aren’t paying attention to training, how can they be learning from it?

It doesn’t have to be this way. e-Learning shouldn't be boring!
