How to promote e-learning among the staff? Utilization of E-learning modules normally is very low

Hi, I want to know different ways in which one can promote e-learning among the staff. The utilization of e-learning modules is normally very low.

Hiral, you could start by organizing quizzes/competitions internally during break hours to motivate people to get into e-learning. Many organizations are resorting to certifying their employees level-wise to promote e-learning in the organization. Organize public presentations, selecting random employees to prepare and present them on Saturdays, etc. These are some implementations that have been used in the organizations where I have worked as an HR/L&D professional, wherein LMS has been used as learning platforms. Hope it helps you as well.

Hi there,

With E-learning, it is easier with an intranet facility in the organization. Give a presentation about effective communication with slides, maybe even with video. Now, you can upload these videos and slides on the intranet, but do not allow employees to download the material. They have to watch and go through the slides from the intranet website itself.

This can be one step of many. You can conduct your induction online; it's called e-induction for new recruits. You can create an e-library and encourage employees to read materials online, things which are directly related to different types of jobs. Again, do not allow them to download.

If you take these baby steps, I am sure that with time, employees will feel comfortable using e-learning.

Few cents from my side:

1. Make a certificate at the end of the course mandatory and to be displayed by the staff.
2. Circulate the number of associates yet to complete the course and set a deadline.
3. If the staff are blue-collar workers, then provide an incentive for undergoing the course.
4. Make eLearning into mLearning (mobile learning) so that the staff can undergo the course at their own pace during movement too.
5. Make the course content and graphics rich rather than displaying only PowerPoint presentations.

First of all, you need a Learning Management System (LMS) to implement e-learning in your organization. Many LMS options are available for free on the internet; however, you would require a bit of homework to get it to work. Still, it's not rocket science.

Moodle (Linux Based) is one of the LMS options available, it's easy to operate and can be easily customized! Joomla is another one!

All you need is an IT professional who can set up the server and install the LMS. You can be the administrator and can get login IDs for all the employees! Uploading courses, questionnaires, quizzes, etc., is very easy.

Hi,

Whatever methodology you apply to provide e-learning to staff, it is a must to have a transparent and extensive assessment analysis system. A system that can clearly depict the strengths and weaknesses of individuals and provide them with a platform to improve. A 360-degree analysis is always a great help when assessing an individual.

One system we have developed specifically for assessing and evaluating individuals is eSakhi Version 1.0.

P.S.: You may find that it is school-specific, but it has all the extensive features required for you to conduct evaluations within the organization.

Good luck, Cheers,

Dear Hiral,

We are an e-module development organization called Ace Training Academy. We have developed modules for trade-related as well as soft skills. The trick here is to have an interactive feedback system. Please do contact us for more information.
