E-learning: The 90-10 Solution
Posted by : Bob LivingstonThe question comes up whenever the subject is e-learning. How much of the training in the organization can be done on-line? In a recent conversation, an executive the training, remarked that he was coming to the position that all of it could be done online. Others have offered opinions that run the gamet of the percentage line. Most run between 40% and 60%. And yes, there is still the ocassional person who believes that e-learning can't do anything well. My own conclusions put it more at the 90-10 level.
Great online training can provide a learning experience the will provide the same results as great classroom training. However, the program must remain sound from a learning standpoint to reach this level of accomplishment. Online courses must have that right blend of involvement and reflection that makes the classroom so important. It is missing in many courses. Involvement is limited, and any reflection on the material is almost non-existent. There no longer exists any technical reason why these can't be included. That's why I think the number is at, least, 90%. What is the 20%? Skills that demand actual person-to-person practice. Sales skills and team skills are the first that come to mind. you can teach the concepts on-line, but you have to train the skills in the field. Team skills require a classroom to promote the bonding required when the learning takes place. That's it! Field training and bonding! I believe we are at a point where 90% of training can be accomplished online. What do you think?
