Optimizing e‐learning: Research‐based guidelines for learner‐controlled training

Year: 2004
Type: article
Abstract: The widespread availability of the Internet has revolutionized the way organizations train their workforces. With e‐learning methods, learning can take place on‐demand, and trainees can be given greater control over their learning than ever before. This increased control has the potential to improve training effectiveness. However, the failure of many e‐learning programs suggests that organizations would benefit from a set of research‐based principles on providing learner control in e‐learning. In this article, we offer guidelines for preparing trainees for learner‐led instruction, the design of learner‐controlled training, and the creation of workplace conditions that facilitate successful learner‐led training. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
