Introduction In this world of rapid development tools, for many, planning and design seem to have gone out of the window. The quality of product now seen in some commercial, high-priced offerings is lamentable! Yes, they might look pretty, have 'bells and whistles', but they tend to be boring in the extreme or the proverbial 'chinese meal'. The wisest phrase in online learning design and development is: "More haste, less speed" Rapid development tools and a subject expert can be a lethal combination - the expert who can see his subject from the learner's perspective is a rare and valuable commodity - many "bang up their knowledge online" and see the job as done. At ICUC, our plea is always to start by clarifying:
Prepare, prepare, prepare. With your learning goal in mind, turn next to your learning objectives and with those in place, your next task should be the assessment that will enable the learners and/or their managers to prove the objectives have been achieved. Only then is it time to turn to the actual learning resources that will enable learners to be able to achieve the learning objectives! Goals - objectives - assessment - learning resources

"e-learning or online learning is just another delivery and
administration mechanism for helping individuals to understand or 'make sense of'. It can have many
different elements which combine to enable learners to achieve objectives. Perhaps it is better
referred to as ME-Learning. However, like all learning, it requires significant initial investment in the
learning design - identifying what the learner needs to learn, or 'makes sense of' and describing how
best to present that to the learner. With a wealth of public domain information on the internet, in a number
of areas it is no longer necessary to create new content!"
