As part of the aim to help organisations with the more successful integration of e-learning, ICCA has developed a Toolkit to provide a framework and best practice principles for those who are planning on - or are already - integrating technology into work and learning. It can be used in workplace learning and performance systems, and within public and private education and training bodies.
This Toolkit is specifically for organisations that have already made a decision to investigate or adopt e-learning. It is not intended to provide advice on whether e-learning is the correct learning and development strategy for your organisation but to help you review the conditions and factors that will enable you to make the process of adoption effective and successful. You can find out what various organisations have said about the ICCA Toolkit here.
ICCA recommends seven stages in the implementation process of e-learning. The Toolkit will help you through the first two stages: Research & analysis, and Scoping & requirements.
e-Learning is now understood as a process which is dependent for its success on many factors, not as a 'product'. This set of tools helps both suppliers and users to understand the range of factors that will influence successful adoption and integration of technologies, and divides them into four interrelated groups: factors that are influenced by and in turn influence the learner, the designer/supplier, the facilitator (teacher/trainer/coach/mentor) and the sponsoring organisation. The Toolkit also provides some suggested workshop-type events and activities which organisations can use to communicate to and enthuse all relevant stakeholders, and lists some recommended outputs that will help during the stages of design and development.
Open the Toolkit
ICCA recommends that you use the online version of the Toolkit, as it allows you to follow the natural sequence (bottom up and left to right) or to move freely around, as well as fully illustrating the relationships between the various factors. This version of the Toolkit requires that you have Flash installed. If you click on the above link and don't have Flash installed, it will be automatically installed for you.
Open the HTML Toolkit
For those who are unable to install Flash, the HTML version offers an alternative way to view the Toolkit online.
Download the Toolkit as a pdf
The whole Toolkit can be downloaded as a convenient pdf document for offline review and reading. (The event and output pages can also be downloaded as individual pdfs from within the online versions of the Toolkit.)
Download the Toolkit PowerPoint slides
You can also download a set of PowerPoint slides to use with your stakeholder groups. The notes sections on the slides provide you with the detailed information about each factor. Please note, you must have PowerPoint installed to be able to view these slides.
