  What Makes aGreat Online Learning Program? GREAT ONLINE LEARNING PROGRAMS HAVE: INTRINSIC MOTIVATION Application to the job: If it isn’t immediately applicable to the job, it isn’t gonna get the time of day. Gamification and social interaction: People learn from people, and motivate each other. Appropriate communication: Make sure you communicate what’s in it for the learner, think about how they will find out about the program, and how long each piece of it will take to complete. Keep your learners’ precious time in mind! IMPACT AS A GOAL Business outcomes and measures: If you can’t identify them, don’t go any further! Desired behavior change: Outlined clearly and explicitly by program designers. INSPIRING CONTENT Context, context, context: Make sure the content is immediately relevant to the particular company and job role. Personalize: The ability to skip over or opt out of content you know already. INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCES Don’t drone on! Insist on compelling speakers, engaging storytelling, to-the-point videos. Build in interactivity: Multiple types of interaction with a clear narrative arc, including milestones and feedback loops. Balance structure and learner freedom. COLLABORATION NOT ISOLATION Help learners build their networks: Give learners plenty of ways to inter- act with and learn from one another across org chart silos. Team-based learning: Collaborative tasks, peer content reviews and as- signments, discussion forums (and more!)
