What is involved in implementing an e-learning system?

The use of sound planning techniques is probably the best first step to implementing an e-learning system. Good planning should reflect a strategy that is in line with your

 organization’s resources so you won’t be caught in the middle of an implementation without funds or personnel to finish.
The first step in developing a workable plan is to analyze the current situation by gathering factual data. If you have a system in place now, evaluate its effectiveness…both in terms of throughput and user satisfaction. Even if this is the first time your organization will have its own dedicated training platform, you can still go ahead by developing some statistics. Consider these elements:
• Number of current users.
• Estimated number of users in three years.
• How many courses will you want to offer?
• How often will new courses be introduced?
• What is the primary nature of the courses: What percentage are hands-on simulations; what percentage are academic?
• Will you use multi-media formats (audio/video/animation)?
• What in-house resources do you need to manage the system?
• What budget is available?
