Why e-learning projects fail

What can possibly go wrong? Find some applicable e-learning that meets the need to the organization, deploy and away you go…right? Wrong. There are multiple factors one must consider when choosing to deploy an e-learning program. There are the direct outcomes such as: learner retention, sustainability, ROI, and both business and learner impact. There are also adoption considerations, such as relevance, acceptance and completion. Also, you need to factor in alignment considerations, such as: approach, culture and problem definition. And finally, there are execution considerations, such as: cost, quality, technology and time to delivery. The good news….if you know what lies ahead, it is easier to plan. Before starting your e-learning program, make a list of all the variables and plan in advance. Elearnity, the inspiration for this blog, has a great free presentation that is definitely worth reviewing at http://www.elearnity.com/EKCLoad.htm?load=byKey/DWIN82RLKF. Enjoy and be prepared.
