3 Points Consider for Choose eLearning Solution

1.         3 Points to Consider  When Choosing an  eLearning Solution                                         

2.   The eLearning industry offers a multitude of online learning solutions that are                         increasingly popular with private companies or the education sector. A veritable                       piloting tool for distance knowledge acquisition, virtual class platforms are                     increasingly being developed and today make it possible to offer high-quality                       eLearning experiences. Additionally, they offer teaching strategies equivalent to                   traditional classroom training.    The growing number and popularity of this type of e-learning platforms quickly                         make the choice complex. It is, therefore, essential to know what they can offer you                               before making a decision. Here are some things to keep in mind in order to                               consider all the options.    How to Choose an eLearning Solution?        1. Define your needs First  Before comparing the eLearning software, make sure you know the context in                         which you will use the platform. Your present and future online learning needs will                             1 

3.   determine the criteria that your platform must meet. Structure your approach                       around the people who will have to use the eLearning software platform. Make an                             inventory of the constraints they encounter during their learning process. This                       strategy will allow you to list the criteria that are important to you. You must,                               therefore, orient your reflections with regard to the situations experienced by                       learners and trainers:    ● Are your learners numerous?  ● Do you have to coordinate several training sessions simultaneously?  ● How many simultaneous trainings will have to be supported by the software?  ● Do you want your interaction with the participants to involve the use of                           audio-visual media?  ● What is the technological level of learners and trainers?  ● Will you need technical assistance for you and your participants?  ● Do you want to do workshops during your training?    Your eLearning software should not become an irritant or a straitjacket in the                           implementation of your training. Rather, it aims to simplify and serve your                         educational projects.    In addition, the use of an optimized virtual classroom platform maximizes the                         online learning experience through features that go beyond that of web or ​video conferencing software​. The latter usually only allows you to retransmit voice and                                                   video and screen sharing.    2. Varied Features to Consider  The course of the learners have evolved with technology and the eLearning                         software must integrate this new reality. In this perspective, we will find on the                             market software with various functionalities which aim to enrich the user                       2

It then becomes useful to check whether the options that interest you                           include advantages such as:    ● Interaction tools (chat, freehand function, annotation tools);  ● Customizing the learning environment to your colors;  ● Tools for managing registrations and invitations to sessions (management                   portal, a tool for sending invitations);  ● Tools for getting started for the user (course calendar or timetables);  ● Administration interfaces and performance evaluation reports for managers                 and trainers.    In addition to these functions which improve the use of the platform for learners                             and trainers, other more technical criteria must be added to your analysis grid.    3. Criteria that make the Difference  Do not forget to take into account the IT staff who may have to interact with the                                   platform. It must adapt to the digital ecosystem already in place.    Today there are two main categories of software – those that are installed directly                             on your local servers and SaaS, or ​Software as a Service​, which is available from the Cloud. The trend is towards the latter option since it is often cheaper and scalable.                                    It is also important to validate the storage capacity offered by SaaS solutions on the                               Cloud. This gives you access to all of your recordings and content in one place.                               Often, software may be simpler for your recordings, but can quickly become more                           complex and costly when your storage capacity is limited and subject to additional                           costs when overflows. This ​point needs to be considered​.    3 

5.   In addition to choosing between these two types of software, you will have to check                               other technical points such as:    ● The need for a personalized web address (URL) for your business;  ● Access to a mobile application for all platforms (Apple, Android, Mac,                       Windows);  ● The ease of integration into LMS-type platforms or a learning management                       system;  ● The ability to convert files to web format and upload them to the platform                             using an integrated content viewer;  ● The option of persistent annotation of content during presentations to                     facilitate learning;  ● Access to an API to simplify integration with your existing systems.    Again, these technical criteria should match your needs and your training model.                         To solidify your decision, check if it is possible to have access to a demonstration                               and pay particular attention to the availability of assistance during and after the                           implementation of the platform. The support and after-sales service of your                       provider will make a big difference in getting started with your new eLearning                           software.    If you have more questions about eLearning platform and solutions or how you can                             manage with entry-level online training software, ​get in touch with our experts​.    With nearly a decade of experience in developing ​eLearning solutions for enterprises, schools and start-ups, our team can offer you a number of possibilities.                                                 Do not hesitate to contact our eLearning specialists, who will be able to help you                               adequately support your online learning venture, through various simple and                     interactive solutions.  4
