e-Learning – are staff ready?
e-Learning has the capacity to transform the way an organisation learns. For many it is a new way of learning. Are staff ready to adopt e-Learning? Are they ready for change in the workplace? e-Learning creates its own changes.
Trainers, staff and managers need to accept:
- moving away from traditional classroom method of delivery
- experiencing a variety of delivery methods as part of blended learning
- changing from learner,tutor to learner,facilitator role
- responsibility and ownership for the learning shifting towards the learner
- where the learning takes place – no longer limited to central locations but taken out to the learner or accessed from the learner’s workplace or their own home.
- time – making some learning activities bitesize and manageable, more able to fit in with the work schedule
Measuring readiness to change
The relationship between e-Learning and readiness to change can be measured by providing:
- readiness for Change questionnaires - an example of which can be found in the Resources Section of the Tool
- taster e-Learning events with detailed pre and post evaluations exploring experiences of learners
- adaptations of existing survey methods – adding local questions to the National Staff Survey held each year
By measuring readiness to change this informs those leading the introduction of e-Learning what type of support is going to be required and where this will need to be directed.
