E-LEARNING THAT WORKS : THE GTT CASE STUDY2001 - Present

The Education Challenge

Costs are rising On the job training not possible, or not feasible with traditional

training Theoretical training leaves massive gap between certification and

being able to do the job Not enough teachers, schools Education methods are inefficient Training materials are quickly outdated Slow and costly to produce materials Quality of training varies, many subject to poor education Not delivering the results needed by the economy

The challenges to companies

Multidisciplinary work ethic missing

Need for lifelong learning culture

Little/ no integration between theoretical training & experiential learning

Learners thinly spread over large area

Inconsistent training globally

No gauging and calibration of staff

The e-learning trend

Companies/Governments recognise it to be the only way to address their urgent and massive needs

Spend is growing rapidly (Trillion by 2004) 74 000 learnerships by 2005 Current providers unable to fully provide learnerships Young already have the Internet culture Other economic and social activities moving onto web (e-business,

e-governance)

Issues with current e-learning offerings

Mentoring angle lost – only superficial questionnaires used to gauge student competency

Inefficient learning methods are reinforced i.e. content push, electronic text books

Functionality just tagged together, no process Cost of content production Time taken to produce content too long Updates, improvements problematic Content often requires physical distribution Most not web friendly

The 3rd generation e-learning edge

Enhances human interaction Enhances contact interaction Understands learning/people behaviour, particulary the way they

use the Internet Focus on contextualisation and content pull Design allows for responsive course development (customisation,

speed etc) Server side delivery powerful, depends on uploading/content

development tools Live not necessary (Learner rules, OK?) Quest for zero cost content development Manages implementation and learner momentum
