Design Effective E-Learning Courses Despite Limited Resources

Have you suddenly been asked to put together an e-learning course, but you have limited experience, time, or resources to do so? This happens often, and you're not alone. E-Learning Design on a Shoestring offers talent development professionals a process for designing and developing e-learning courses, without breaking the bank. E-learning expert Marina Arshavskiy applies the Build-Borrow-Buy approach to provide guidance, quick tips, and shortcuts for creating meaningful asynchronous learning experiences.

With this book, you will learn to tap into learner motivation and engagement; create e-learning scripts, storyboards, and prototypes; and build inexpensive yet effective interactivity in your courses. It also guides you on saving time and money by auditing existing e-learning content and creating reusable content. You'll discover how to manage e-learning projects efficiently, select technology that meets your course needs, and secure buy-in for current and future e-learning efforts.

The Association for Talent Development's On a Shoestring series helps professionals successfully execute core topics in training and talent development when facing limitations of time, money, staff, and other resources. Using the Build-Borrow-Buy approach to problem solving, this series is designed for practitioners who work as a department of one; for new or ""accidental"" trainers, instructional designers, and learning managers who need fast, inexpensive access to practical strategies that work; and for those who work for small organizations or in industries that have limited training and development resources.
