I must confess, its been a hectic week. Sleepless nights and driving to office drowzy and working through for 8-9 hours...Yes! It was worth the pain. And of course the effort.
The fructification of that frenzy is what I call RAPID LCMS. A combine of Rapid e-Learning Development Initiative and an LCMS that must support not only the existing dbase of Learning Objects but also work, manage and build upon the library of assests and Learning Objects needed for and by the Rapid e-Learning efforts.
I must say that my experience in the e-learning field has been limited to Instructional Design. But moving project management followed by quality and now into systems design, policy making & innovation is less a transition and more a departure from the world of core e-learning. And this is happening Rapid(ly) at the benefit of L(earning) C(urve) M(anaged) S(ense making). In short Rapid LCMS.
Rapid e-learning has been around for some time now. LCMSs have been an offshoot of Content Management Systems redesigned and upgraded for Learning material/content. The uncertainty of the matter however, is the point where to start. That precisely gives me the idea that one needs to in fact map it all. And that brings the Instructional Designer's skills here. And of course Project Management skills into play if this effort is taken as a project.
More than heading straight to documenting the specifications and requirements, I feel that putting the concept is more appropriate and build-up fromt here. The concept paper will help me expand and come up with a Work Document, which will act as a solid foundation to the effort.
The initial presentation that I made to the executive office can form the basis of the concept paper. The timelines are short and task(s) challenging, humungous, tiring. Will get going till the next post.
