e-Learning is Experiential!
The "e" in e-learning stands for "E"xperience
Elliott Masie, The MASIE Center
Business is adding the letter "e" in front of a lot of words in the
last year of the 1900's. e-commerce, e-business, e-shopping, e-transactions,
and now e-learning. The "e" has come to stand for a Digital Age and
internet focused transformation of a business process. "e" literally
means the "electronic" personification of a commerce, shopping or learning.
But, it also means modern, internet age, "venture capital friendly"
and on-line.
"e-learning" is a great phrase, as it is a wider tent then just on-line
learning, web-based training, CBT, technology assisted, distance learning
or other phrases.
We have a unique opportunity, as the term spreads to vendor press releases,
trade show signage and new venture business plans, to define what the
"e" REALLY should stand for. The EXPERIENCE
side of e-learning should address factors including:
- Engagement: How will we get the learner fully engaged?
- Curiosity: How will we harness the power of curiosity and
exploration?
- Simulation and Practice: More powerful simulation and practice
opportunities?
- Remediation: Remedial and extending learning content?
- Coaching: Human and digital coaching for learners?
- Peer Learning: Build communities that will allow for SOCIAL
DIMENSIONS of learning on-line?
- Action Learning: Projects that trigger action learning
and align with workplace challenges?
- Performance Support: e-learning programs that offer on-the-job
performance support?
- Intensity: How can we create high intensity, memorable
learning experiences?
- Assessment and Feedback: Help the learner to gain a better
sense of their knowledge gaps?
- Teaching Culture: Increase learning with high moments of
teaching value?
Notice how I didn't include technology functions in the above list.
The exciting thing about ordering a book through e-commerce is not the
HTML that displays the booksite in my browser. It is the EXPERIENCE
of ordering the book that is different. I can see hundreds of thousands
of books. I can read reviews of the author. I can hear from other readers.
I can see links to similar books. Someday, I will be able to preview
the text. The key to e-book ordering is the EXPERIENCE
of me, the buyer.
Likewise, the conversation must move rapidly from the "cool" aspect
of using technology to deliver content, conduct training transactions,
have virtual classrooms and build digital collaboration environments.
We stipulate that, with joy. The "e"-learning that I am dreaming about
has the intensity of an airplane simulator, the support of an email
from a trusted mentor, the engagement of a great novel and creates the
experience of learning that makes a learner say WOW. The WOW is about
their connection with knowledge, not about the technology. The "e" is
the power of the EXPERIENCE - let us invent and create
it!
