What worked:
•Setting a realistic project plan
•Ordering tasks according to the needs of the product
•Producing in house (retaining control)
•Outsourcing only where necessary (e.g. we outsource video shoots and some Flash development)
eLearning development – our experiences
What worked:
•Sourcing appropriate software
•Holding ‘creative meetings’ to break down the syllabus:
o To convert manuscript into a slide by slide interactive presentation
o To develop different ways of presenting each subjecto To include the learner in the processo To ensure that writers and developers work towards the
same goals
eLearning development – our experiences
What worked:
•Using PowerPoint to its full capabilities, along with additional eLearning authoring software (Articulate)
•Using various forms of media (images/video/animations/narration)
•Setting up technical proofing points throughout the development phase
•Launching pilot courses before a full ‘go live’ to capture any end user issues
eLearning development – our experiences
What didn’t work:
•Initially, not having a clear understanding of best practice of how to develop an eLearning product
o Because of this, having to revise project plans which resulted in delays in getting the product to market
•Initially, not using the best software for our particular requirements
eLearning development – our experiences
What didn’t work:
•Outsourcing creative work resulting in amendments and delays
•Lack of understanding between the writer and the developers (creative meetings now overcome this)
eLearning – our experiences
Difficulties faced:
•How to create an exciting and immersive eLearning product without breaking the bank!
o Flash animations are very expensive to develop, so we learnt how to create these animations/interactivities using only PowerPoint, (which keeps the need for Flash animations down to a minimum)
o Identify and use the creative talent that exists in house (e.g. in house film shoots)
eLearning – our experiences
Theory Assessment – How we assess
• Paper based Theory Papers, or• eAssessment
Benefits of eAssessment
• Instant access to learners' results• Removes time and cost burden of printing and returning answer
sheets
Practical Assessment – How we assess
• Direct observation of practical session via attendance at an assessment day
Issues and Questions
• CYQ is an accreditation organisation (not a training provider) so ideally we should not be carrying out the testing of the eLearning product on the target group of 20 people in the UK
• If CYQ were to carry out the testing, we cannot enrol the successful participants on to REPs UK due to national qualification requirements
• Can practical competences be tested via an eLearning platform?
• Conflicts of interest?
Issues and Questions
• How will we ensure that EREPs recognise the pilot national registers?
• How will we ensure that EHFA recognise the alignment of the eLearning product(s) to the EHFA Standards?
• How will we align our work to EHFA’s plans for a revised accreditation policy?
