What is the goal of your e-learning platform?

What should the participants learn in the online course, seminar, or during training? With what result do they complete the education on your platform?

Creating your e-learning courses will only be as productive as your planning beforehand. By taking the time to do some preparatory work, you address problems before they can arise.

Summarize all the results from the brainstorming session in a catalog of requirements and expectations. Because you can only develop it successfully if you know what your e-learning platform offers.

"Brainstorming is the nexus of ideas." - Asa Don Brown

Creating an e-learning course that teaches everything to everyone is a wasted effort. It must be created with a specific purpose and for a specific audience. Before you develop an e-learning platform, inspect your potential trainees.

  • How many learners can take part in a course at the same time? Is it a massive online open course?
  • What is the position/role of the trainees? Are they sales representatives, customer service representatives, or HR managers?
  • Are there trainees with disabilities that will need more human-centered design?
  • What are the demographics and characteristics of participants in e-learning? (average age, level of education, geographic location, computer skills, devices used by learners, etc.)
  • Have the learners of the e-learning been previously trained in this subject area? How well do you know the topic?
