Based on a recent Expertus survey, the most important strategy that learning organizations are considering to reduce the cost of training delivery is to migrate instructor-led training to either blended learning or e-learning. The obvious gains here are cost reductions in travel, facilities, equipment, and trainers.
However, organizations should not focus on only cost cutting. They should also work to leveraging the big benefits that blended-learning provides—such as availability, reusability, effectiveness, and especially scalability.
E-learning can be available 24/7, but organizations don’t have to deliver all of their content as classic e-learning modules. Designed properly and broken down into small, usable pieces, e-learning can be used for time-of-need training, alerts, or performance support. Organizations should consider looking at small learning modules, even if it means just converting some of the content into reference materials, lists, diagrams, stories, or lessons-learned.
There’s a great deal of value in having certain information available quickly, and in an easy-to-digest format. An option may be to deploy some learning outside of the LMS. If you can’t configure your LMS for quick and easy access, then put the content outside. Eliminating the need to track it will make it easier for learners to access and digest the content.
