1 Learning objectives

Before you start looking for online learning platforms and tools, you need to define your learning objectives. What are the skills and knowledge that you want your employees to acquire or improve? How will you measure their progress and performance? How will you align your online learning strategy with your business goals and values? By clarifying your learning objectives, you will be able to narrow down your options and focus on the solutions that meet your specific needs.

Ideally, you would need to perform some Training Needs Analysis (TNA). This TNA could be online; it could even be paper. The results then provide the data needed to assess the topics required for training. In my case, these would be features and tools within AutoCAD. It could be how to create a sales ledger in Excel, but without asking these questions first, you won't know what training objectives you need to include in any training curriculum. As for measurement, a Learning Management System (LMS) is often the way forward. An old colleague suggested a good way forward here would be to re-imagine a playlist in Spotify or iTunes, and tick-box each listen (objective) as the learner goes forward in the LMS.

If you are looking to design training, work with an instructional designer. They will help you design curriculum using an instructional design system. If you don’t have one available, review an instructional design system that works for your organization and timeline (reference https://dli.kennesaw.edu/resources/idmodels/sam.php). Additionally, review key design principles, such as backwards design (https://cft.vanderbilt.edu/guides-sub-pages/understanding-by-design/), universal design, and accessibility standards. If you are looking for acquiring pre-exisiting training for your employees, do some preliminary searches for open or free courses first. These are often available through places such as edx (https://www.mooc.org).

2 Learning content

Another important factor to consider is the quality and quantity of the learning content that you will use or create for your online training. Depending on your learning objectives, you may need different types of content, such as videos, podcasts, articles, quizzes, simulations, or games. You may also need to update or customize your content regularly to keep it relevant and engaging. Therefore, you should look for online learning platforms and tools that offer a variety of content formats, as well as easy and flexible ways to create, edit, and manage your content.

This is the first stage of backwards design, 1) identify desired results (objectives). Your next steps include 2) determine acceptable evidence (assessments), then plan learning experiences (lesson plans).

3 Learning experience

The learning experience is the way your employees interact with the online learning content, platform, and tools. It affects their motivation, engagement, retention, and satisfaction. To create a positive and effective learning experience, you should consider factors such as the user interface, the accessibility, the interactivity, the feedback, and the support that your online learning solution provides. You should also look for online learning platforms and tools that allow you to personalize and adapt the learning experience to your employees' preferences, needs, and levels.

4 Learning outcomes

The learning outcomes are the results and benefits that your online learning solution delivers for your employees and your organization. They include the improvement of skills and knowledge, the achievement of learning objectives, the increase of productivity and performance, and the return on investment. To evaluate and optimize your learning outcomes, you should look for online learning platforms and tools that offer reliable and relevant data and analytics, as well as tools to track, report, and communicate your online learning impact and value.

This is an excellent point that is often overlooked. Think about the results and outcomes you want to see at the outset - especially when designing an evaluation. Selecting the right tools for the right evaluation can save you a lot of time and resources in the long run.

5 Learning budget

The learning budget is the amount of money that you are willing and able to spend on your online learning solution. It depends on your organization's size, resources, and priorities, as well as on the features and quality of the online learning platform and tools that you choose. To optimize your learning budget, you should compare the costs and benefits of different online learning solutions, as well as look for ways to reduce or leverage your expenses, such as using free or open-source tools, sharing or reusing content, or partnering with other organizations.

6 Learning evaluation

The learning evaluation is the process of assessing and improving your online learning solution based on the feedback and data that you collect from your employees and your organization. It helps you to identify the strengths and weaknesses of your online learning strategy, platform, and tools, as well as to make adjustments and enhancements to meet your learning objectives and outcomes. To conduct a comprehensive and effective learning evaluation, you should look for online learning platforms and tools that offer tools and methods to collect, analyze, and act on your online learning feedback and data.
