A definition of ‘Rapid e-Learning’ will vary depending on if you are the ‘developer’ or the ‘learner’. A developer’s definition is likely to be something like – ‘rapid e-Learning is a small ‘nugget’ of interactive content that addresses one learning outcome only, is relatively quickly and easily created (often from templates within the authoring tool), incorporates appropriate visual and aural media and allows the creation of quizes/tests for the learner to assess their progress’. A learner’s definition might be ‘rapid e-Learning is a short duration, accessible, interactive and fun learning object that is available 24/7 and allows me to quickly review and understand one aspect of a particular area of study on an ‘as and when’ or ‘just in time’ basis and then allows me to test myself on my understanding’.

Shoot, I see others have already capitalized on the “E”. Nonetheless, I will too. The “E” stands for …
– Efficient
– Expert-delivered
– Easy
– Everybody can do it
– Engaging
– Effective
– Embraced by smart organizations
– Essential for a complete elearning program
– Evangelical
The last one’s a stretch … but when you believe in the benefits of Rapid Dev as much as I do, you become an evangelist.
Rapid E-learning: Whiz! Bang! Hey, nice job dude. How’d you do that?
Rapid E-Learning is akin to the ballroom quickstep. While being foreign to most; its perfect execution is admired by all because of its speed and value. Its process is one that involves the intense efforts of the participants, whereas the Instructional Designer is leading the partner(s) in a dance of compromise. The process is a compromise of time, quality, and value in an effort to create experiential learning.
The partners determine the pace based on the requirements, their skill, environment, and communication. Quality is determined given their short timeframe; whereas the partners decide what steps (if any) will be compromised. Value is the result of their dance with time and value in meeting or exceeding the requirements within the timeframe, all the while making their discipline transparent and sexy to the audience.
yesterday’s e-learning development for today’s training for tomorrow’s skills
Rapid E-Learning – means one thing to the professsor and another to the student. Professor: it means – software that is easy to use (uploading course materials) and makes the material easy to access (for editing). Student: it means – being able to move through the site easily and see the materials without any effort. It also means being presented with materials that are easy to conmprehend and that make learning fun because it is more interactive then just listening to a boring lecture and falling asleep.
Good post, Tom. I don’t have an answer. I’ll let folks smarter than me enter the contest. I did want to pass along that last year I was at an e-learning conference, and attended a breakout session on rapid e-learning. The moderator asked each of the 50 or so of us in the room to write down a definition of rapid e-learning. You’re probably not surprised to learn that there were 50 different responses.

Rapid E-learning is the process of absorbing new intellectual capital delivered through the Web or other electronic medium. It is differentiated from rapid material creation in that “learning” is different from “teaching”. Put another way, Articulate provides rapid development tools for e-learning materials, rather than rapid e-learning development tools, because the tools are optimized to reduce development time. Any clunky old tool can produce material that fosters rapid learning; they just take far longer than necessary to do so.
Rapid e-Learning is the quick deployment of mission critical information/training via user-friendly technologies.

What is so beneficial about rapid e-learning course development is that if a specific course is needed, and if you already have the information you want the learner to learn, then you can just create the course. And it usually turns out very good!
Successful rapid e-learning is the magic that happens at a rapid rate when creative and expert minds meet smart, user-friendly, authoring software. The result – rich, engaging, Internet-enabled, learning experiences and performance-improvement tools that target desired outcomes in quick, strategic ways.

Affordable – to increase efficiency and productivity by reducing the time and cost to involved in delivering instruction
Durable – to withstand technology evolution and changes with out costly redesign and reconfiguration or recoding
Interoperable – to take instructional components developed in one location with one set of tools to another location with a different set of tools or platform
AND Reusable – Flexible enough to incorporate instructional components in multiple applications and contexts.
DOES THAT SOUND LIKE SCORM?
