The sacred duty of eLearning developers

I’m gonna keep this short - not because this isn’t important, but because it is:
The world needs eLearning right now.
Not more eLearning, but better eLearning.
It’s always been a useful tool for folks - a way to quickly and easily build new skills. For some, it opens up new hobbies. For others, new careers.
Now?
A lot of folks have a lot less than they used to.
Less money, less employment, less fulfilment.
I know I’m one of the lucky ones. I still have money coming in and plenty of meaningful projects to work on - like articles like these.
Even so, building my own skills has helped. It’s given me a sense of control - handy at the best of times, essential when it feels like the world’s gone mad.
But like I say, what the world needs isn’t more eLearning. There’s more to learn out there than we can ever hope to get through.
What we need is better eLearning.
Nothing that’s boring - boredom is a form of stress, and there’s enough of that already.
Nothing that’s bloated, padded or unfocused.
And of course, it needs to work. The learner needs to walk away as a more capable person than when they arrived.
That’s why, if you’re a course developer, the world needs you right now.
It needs you at your best.
And you can become better by learning a course and seeing what I’m talking about in action:
