What is Rapid eLearning? Our View on Development and Tools
Introduction
Rapid eLearning refers to the process of creating courses rapidly or rather quickly using some tools. Some also refer to Rapid eLearning as preparing bite sized modules for quick consumption. We differ slightly with this, as according to us Rapid eLearning is about the process and not the duration of the module. Of course, microlearning or bite sized learning can be built quickly, but even longer duration modules, meaning 20–30-minute modules can be built quickly.
Rapid eLearning development solutions can be as effective as custom eLearning and that is definite. One of the best ways to show what’s in it for the learners is through rapid eLearning. There is emphasis on content relevance and being goal centric. People may ask the following questions on rapid eLearning:
1. Can rapid eLearning have engagement, meaning can the modules have interactivities and activities?
2. Can rapid eLearning include elements such as gamification and videos?
3. Can rapid eLearning have elements such as scenarios and other elements?
