Message from the President of Instrux Media

Too many companies are simply plugging their teaching points into an animated avatar and telling the world it is “innovative e-learning.” It just isn’t. Effective, measurable learning retention is achieved through e-learning that engages the learner and allows them to interact with the information. It provides the opportunity for deep learning through discovery and does so in a manner that considers the needs of the target audience. This is how people learn real skills. This is not to say that avatars do not have value. They do. But this alone will not ensure your audience will be engaged in the learning and achieve the objectives and skills you have set out for them.

If you want your learners to have the best chance at retaining new skills and knowledge, an e-learning program should include opportunities to:

DISCOVER through an interactive presentation of the information.

APPLY the information in a manner that best reflects how they will use the information on the job.

DISCUSS the topics that have been covered with a community of peers.

Often, the last point, “discuss”, is lost in e-learning. Classroom courses almost always employ this valuable learning approach. To address this missing component, we have developed what we call a “Virtual Learning Space (VLS)”. The VLS brings like-minded communities together to discuss and apply the new knowledge and concepts covered in the e-learning course(s).

An added advantage is that the knowledge becomes organic. It grows and expands as contributions are made and questions are posed. VLS communities update and expand on the information, keeping it current and adjusted to the target audience and the job.

A VLS can be thought of as a custom school. The classes (courses), library (resources), students (peers), teachers (experts) all coming together to learn a specialized subject that will help them do their job more effectively. It might even have an avatar as a mascot!

The future is very bright!
