Writing for E-learning

 

What is e-learning?

E-learning is a series of self-paced, self-directed, self-motivated learning and knowledge acquisition activities. The learning activities take place within a managed learning environment that controls what is seen, when it’s seen and provides feedback and support to the trainee.

Interactive sessions can work to encourage the trainee to become practically involved in the knowledge acquisition process as well as thinking about clinical issues. Trainees can access the activities as many times as they wish from within the training scheme or from home.

How to create e-learning modules

Depending on your experience, time pressures and preferred working style, there are three ways you can contribute to e-learning modules:

  • You can submit your content in a suitable format (e.g. PowerPoint or Word document), which is converted into an e-learning module by a content engineer, before being returned to you for approval before use.
  • You can work with a content engineer to develop your content into an e-learning module
  • You can develop an e-learning module yourself, using a content authoring tool downloaded to your computer

The development process relies on radiologists to provide the subject matter expertise. Members of the CCI team provide e-learning instructional design and construction expertise. A radiologist is in control of the content throughout the development process, approves the presentation and signs off the session.
