How do you solicit and incorporate feedback on your e-learning portfolio from peers, mentors, or clients?

El feedback es un mecanismo necesario y crítico para impulsar la mejora de los procesos de aprendizaje en especial en el e-learning ya que contamos con menos puntos calientes de contacto para recopilar información, por tanto, requerimos planificar espacios para recopilar mediante feedback información, seguidamente analizar y valorar las mejoras a corto y mediano plazo que debemos hacer en nuestros proyectos. ... El feedback puede convertirse en una fuente invaluable e enriquecedora para nuestros proyectos de e-learning.

Feedback is a vital part of a robust learning design process. You can't loose sight that you're designing content on behalf of someone, to be delivered to someone else. As a learning designer, you're a conduit between the owner of the learning need and the learner. The only way it can be successful is by getting feedback from both directions. If you're working with technical or complex subject matter, getting feedback from SME's is essential to ensuring accuracy of your learning. And as far as feedback from your learners, that's like gold. It's easy to fall down rabbit holes in learning design and assume a particular approach works well, when maybe it doesn't. The only way to know for sure is to solicit feedback from your learners.

Many corporate training programs suffer from a lack of engagement, and it can be hard to get valid feedback from learners when they will use any opportunity they can see to disengage. Finding better ways to gather feedback is extremely important to building effective training courses.

You can design (what you think is) the greatest eLearning content. But you won't get it right every time. You may have misunderstood the learners needs, or some of the content may be out of date. You must be open to feedback at all times. Listen to your users. Revisit your content regularly. Analyse the completion and scores. And use this information to improve your learning experiences.

Getting feedback from peers and mentors is important, but sometimes not as important as getting it from learners during pilots or full deployment of programs. But before asking peers and mentors for feedback, you need to be considerate of their time and reputation. You have to show that you are a reliable source of valuable content for them to have trust that it is worth their time to review the content and provide meaningful feedback. This can take time, and it may take progressive moves from lesser known experts to your ideal mentors.

Cuando creamos nuestro portafolio pueden ocurrir dos casos de forma amplia, el primero sentimos que es la respuesta a todos los problemas de nuestro público objetivo [si hicimos bien la tarea previa], o no estamos convencidos o seguros [un posible síndrome del impostor, o que tal vez no hicimos la tarea previa]. ... En ambos casos la solicitar feedback a personas que puedan valorar de manera critica nuestro proyecto será fundamental, para tener la visión de un tercero frente a nuestra idea. Claro, esta también es valido presentarlo en entornos más especializados, pero es una alternativa que amerita algunas valoraciones adicionales.

I have always championed the use of real people on LMS platforms, to promote a sense of it being run by humans - and not algorithms. An opening module presented by the head of the learning team, or by the people that manage the platform on a daily basis, gives learners the feeling of being supported and nurtured. The human face of the LMS should also offer real human contact details for any learner to feedback, comment, or just chat.

El primer paso debe centrarse en filtrar y catalogar los comentarios, es un hecho que no todos los comentarios tendrán un valor tan alto pero también es una verdad que en los comentarios podemos encontrar una fuente increíble y poco equiparable a otras de obtener información de primera mano sobre nuestros procesos. ... En atención a esto, después de catalogar será mucha más fácil iniciar el proceso de análisis y valoración de las oportunidades de mejora. Ya que no buscamos incorporar el comentario recibido, buscamos potenciar la propuesta formativa.

Something that isn't mentioned in this article is the idea of embedded feedback mechanisms. Being able to embed feedback opportunities into the learning content path is a powerful tool for obtaining feedback. This can be done as optional inputs or as a mandatory action before progressing in a course.

Approaching feedback with an open mind really helps. Because you've worked for days, or sometimes weeks on something it can be easy to take a critique of the learning as an attack on you personally. But this is never the case. Developing a professional distance can really help you see the validity of the feedback.

Estoy de acuerdo con aprovechar las validación de los usuarios para generar confianza y percepción positiva hacia nuestras soluciones en nuevos públicos, sin embargo, es importante que notifiquemos y acordemos los términos de uso de referidos comentarios para evitar infligir leyes o regulaciones asociadas al manejo de datos e información personal.

These are all good ideas. It's also useful to leverage review sites such as Capterra to see what real customers liked or disliked about a course or solution.

Las retroalimentación es una de las mejores herramientas para conocer como es percibido nuestra labor, a la vez tiene otras bondades ya que en la medida que generamos los espacios para que estas se presenten, generamos esa necesaria conexión con los públicos que atendemos aumentando la conexión con sus necesidades y deseos.

Soliciting and incorporating feedback on your e-learning portfolio is essential for both personal and professional development. Actively seek out critiques from peers, mentors, or clients through structured reviews, surveys, or informal discussions. This feedback not only enhances your skills and knowledge of current e-learning tools and trends but also helps identify opportunities for growth and improvement in your work. Additionally, it broadens your professional network and increases your visibility within the e-learning community. Use the insights gained to refine your portfolio, ensuring it reflects high standards of design and content relevance. Embrace feedback to advance your career and enhance your e-learning contributions.
