Enhance E-learning with a Podcast
I had a really interesting meeting this week with an organisation who specialise in e-learning. They have developed a terrific ‘Dynamic Learning Environment’ product based on the Open Source software ‘Moodle‘ and it’s great to see how web 2.0 technology is being used in this way.
There is no agreed definition of e-learning, but the CIPD (Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development) describe it as ‘Learning that is delivered, enabled or mediated using electronic technology for the explicit purpose of training in organisations’.
In a recent CIPD Learning and Development Survey, more that 57% of respondents reported that they are already using e-learning and a further 27% said that they plan to do so over the next year – this strongly suggests that e-learning is becoming ‘mainstream’.
In our opinion, if you’re using or considering using e-learning, think about incorporating podcasts into your programmes – they’re a powerful way to enhance the effectiveness of your e-learning environment.
