Rapid
e-learning
While
rapid e-learning can pertain to a number of things, it is generally used to
describe the pace at which an e-learning course is developed. Here are the
basics of rapid e-learning, as well as an explanation as to how it can be
applied to the learning process as well:
Rapid
e-learning in the course development process
Rapid
e-learning is, essentially, a faster process of designing and developing
online-based learning courses. Rather than spending months or even years
developing a course, rapid e-learning allows creators to build lessons and
content in a matter of days or weeks. Typically, this is done through
PowerPoint or narrated videos which are designed to dispense information
quickly and conveniently to students. Software is then utilized to test the
students, as well as to provide them with activities that they can perform on
their own in between pre-recorded presentations or videos.
After
the entire package has been developed, it is delivered to the student via an
online LMS, site, or even by email. Overly complicated software or design
platforms are generally not used during the rapid e-learning development
process, and courses can be easily updated by the provider without a great deal
of cost or time.
How
rapid e-learning can benefit learners
Until
quite recently rapid e-learning was only used to refer to the actual design of
online courses. However, today it can also be used to describe a method of
learning. For example, if a course can be completed in a shorter amount of time
than is typical for that particular subject, then it may be considered a “rapid
e-learning course”. The term micro-learning is sometimes used interchangeably
with rapid e-learning.
Students
can greatly benefit from rapid e-learning, given that their learning is broken
down into smaller units. This can enable them to absorb information quickly and
while they are on-the-go or even at work, so that they can still get the data
that they need to solve a problem or further their education.
Due to the fact that students must learn in a short period
of time with rapid e-learning techniques, the key to any successful rapid
online education course is to engage the user. This will raise the
likelihood of knowledge absorption and ensure that one gets the most out of the
experience.
