Some of the best e-learning courses maximize their reach with learners with minimum investment. We’ll walk you through some engaging e-learning examples to inspire your next content creation process.

Below, we’ll discuss some of the best e-learning approaches, including some examples for your reference:

1. Microlearning

Microlearning provides short bursts of focused learning content that’s easy to consume in a matter of minutes. As the information is delivered in bits, you can access it on various platforms and devices, including mobile phones and tablets. This makes it convenient and accessible when desired.

Good e-learning examples through microlearning include:

• Short videos on social media platforms like YouTube and TikTok
• In-app pop-up messages
• Interactive quizzes
• Mobile notifications, SMS
• Click tabs, quick links, single-scroll pages
• Short podcasts.

When to apply microlearning:

• Ready-to-use, easily-digestible references to support performance on the job
• To enhance knowledge on a target-specific skill, product, or service
• Useful for top authorities, mid-managers, and employees with busy schedules.

2. Social-collaborative e-learning

Social Collaborative Learning refers to maneuvering the existing human resources in an organization by encouraging employees to collaborate, create, and share their expertise with their counterparts.

It’s one of the most flexible, cost-effective, and smart ways to train and utilize the existing resource pool.

With Learning Management Systems (LMS) and user-friendly authoring tools like Easygenerator, creating, publishing, and sharing content on e-learning platforms has never been simpler. Even a novice without any technical background can create the most engaging learning content like a pro.

Some interactive e-learning examples in social learning include:

• Live webinars with Q&A chats
• Virtual meetings and discussions on platforms like Zoom and Google Meet
• Digital educational content, like courses, podcasts, blogs, or eBooks developed by SMEs and technical teams
• Social media forums
• TED Talks

Why apply social learning content:

• For customized training programs
• To enhance knowledge of internal company products and processes
• To instill confidence and boost team spirit within the organization
• To enhance engagement and smoothen communication between the top authorities, mid-managers, and all employees

3. Scenario-based e-learning (SBL)

SBL is an interactive e-learning example where the learners are provided with a situation or a question and are allowed to interpret and answer. That’s why a multi-pronged approach can be anticipated to resolve a given problem. With the use of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technology, you can even experience real-life scenarios like boardroom meetings, training halls, or cafeteria conversations.

The following scenario is an example of SBL:

Imagine being a senior manager. How would you ensure quality outcomes with minimum supervision in today’s work-from-home reality? You would likely provide different paths the learner could take and then understand the consequences of choosing a path as a solution. It’s a trial-and-error method but gives a solid understanding of what to do, what not to do, and why.

Why apply SBL:

• For multinational corporations or large-scale organizations with a diversity of human resources, systems, and services
• To evaluate the perception of employees
• To revamp or design a needs-based training program.
