It is not always easy to measure the effectiveness of elearning but the HRD Online training management and elearning system builds measurement into TestEd and eprogrammes.

The HRD Online training system's elearning courses are linked to the system's Training Needs Analysis and they can be used individually or combined into TestEds and eprogrammes. All elearning courses conclude with a "Content Quiz", i.e. a quick test set-up to randomly access a question bank to see how thoroughly the user has understood the elearning material and what knowledge they have picked up. The results of these quizes are retained on the users online training records. These online training results are visable to authorised managers and can be used by them during performance appraisal and coaching sessions.

Online training eprogramme verification

Customised eProgrammes are designed to measure elearning effectiveness when Mandatory, Refresher, Technical Knowledge Updates or Regulatory Compliance, is required.

Customised eProgrammes consist of multiple modules and each module consists of multiple online training courses. Knowledge verification tests can be placed anywhere within the eprogramme's life cycle, e.g. at the start, at the end of each session, and at the end of the eprogramme, (or before a refresher loop commences). Several knowledge verification tests can be included and each test builds a personal online training schedule based on the test results. The whole elearning programme is driven by "push learning technology" - a pre-programmed time based series of emails to inform the user of what is involved in the elearning session, e.g. where they are, what they need to do, how long they have, what comes next and when, etc. Also emailed are elearning corrective bites, test results, assignments, etc.

TestEds - can be thought of as mini-eprogrammes - they are subject based, linked to generic competence appraisals, and are more flexible in handling multiple tests and historical test results.

Customised TestEd & eProgrammes can be designed to support blended learning multi-media, e.g. blended learning solutions can include a specialised elearning user forums, workshops, work based assignments and tutor interactive coaching. For further details see eprogrammes

Further blended learning can be achieved by incorporating your learning material either within a customised elearning eprogramme or via links to your organisations documents or web pages.
