The eLearning platforms are gradually becoming the first priority for many institutions and organisations. The platforms need lesser employee time and are more effective than the traditional classrooms. But, how one can develop a powerful LMS, that also adds some value to the revenue of the organisation. Here are some tips on how you can build a successful eLearning platform:

  • Know the Target Audience: Before directly jumping into creating the eLearning website, you first must know about the audience that the platform will target. You must research the needs and the requirements of the targetted audience, to build an outstanding product and get the desired result. The audience can be students from a school or newly employed trainees of an MNC. So, before creating an EdTech platform, you must research the people who will use it and their needs.
  • Set the Goals: You must be clear on the objectives of the eLearning platform and set some goals that are in accordance with the goals of your organisation. When you have the idea of ‘Whys’ of your EdTech platform, you will be more precise on how to achieve the goals. By setting up those goals, you move ahead in the right direction, avoiding the extra work and confusion.
  • Plan the Study Curriculum: After finishing setting up the goals, you have to create an outline and the curriculum that you will be following, while creating the content of the training. It makes it easy to comprehend a selective pattern and create a to-the-point content. Also, if you know the curriculum, you will have an idea about the website’s appearance. You must categorise the skills and the techniques that the trainees will learn from the EdTech platform.
  • Content Creation: At this point, you have an option between creating the eLearning content by yourself, i.e., the in-house content creation or you can simply choose a third-party, to do so. Also, you have an option to adopts both of these options. It is all your choice. So, if you are a master of the topic, you are good to go. Otherwise, hire some expert for the same purpose, to avoid any mistakes, and let the trainees get access to really good content.
  • Involving the Educators: The most important part is to partner with some passionate and expert educators, that are masters of their field. Engaging with the educators can save a lot of time, and the trainees will be more comfortable learning from them. If not a permanent educator, you can also hire some freelancer for some seminars once in a while in the regular training period. That can help the trainees to be more interested and engaged in their training.
  • Include interactive, reality-based scenarios: Relating education with real-life scenarios can enhance the effectiveness learning. Providing the trainees with real-life examples and instances, throughout the course, will benefit them understand better and learn faster. Taking examples associated with routine job tasks will further help them gain valuable knowledge that can be used on-the-job, later on.
  • Engaging the Trainees: The training for the learners cannot be engaging unless it is of their complete interest or only if the content is an engaging one. Also, the environment provided to the trainees play an important role when it comes to the involvement of the trainees into the training. For this, the eLearning platforms provide you with various features that can be used to create appealing content. You can create interactive courses by integrating community interaction and visual components that encourage the learner to get involved in the training properly. Also, the features like Gamification, provide the trainees with an eye-catching environment, where they themselves become interested in learning.
  • Quiz, Assessment & Rewards: To track the performance of every trainee, you must include quizzes into every course. On the completion of each course, you can make an evaluation of the trainee’s progress, through those quizzes. Also, if you include some rewards with the assessments, the trainees will be more serious about taking those tests, and their evaluations.
  • Technology: The technology will play the next big part in your eLearning platform development. The technology you are going to use must be up to date and flexible enough to fulfil all your requirements. So you need to discuss all the requirements and functions required to be built in your EdTech platform with the developer. Researching on the various technologies can be a great help, as you don’t need to have any flaws in your eLearning Platform.

Handling a learning management system and providing good content to the trainees is not an easy task. You need to incorporate with different people and research a lot to get the desired results.
