An elearning solution advocate

I am officially getting into the elearning solutions craze, if you could indeed call it that. I just learned that there are elearning tools that can be used just as easily as most tools that are available online, this means I can spend more time learning the stuff I want to learn about, rather than just spending most of time trying to learn how to use the learning system and the tools so that I could get to the real learning part. Some elearning development tools have been made so complex, in an effort to make it the most “innovative, intuitive, and adaptable” cost effective training solution in the market that it seems the developers failed to take into account the fact that this software was actually made to help people learn, and learn in the most convenient manner possible, which is the entire point of an elearning solution. This type of learning tool was implicitly intended to be done entirely on the internet, the ultimate expression of convenience, so it really doesn’t make sense if the learning system was designed in such a way that it would actually take longer to learn how to use the system than actually learning the lesson that the learning system was intended to teach.

But I digress. I had originally intended to look for a job that entailed shorter hours so that I could enroll in a short course to learn a new programming language, but with the developments I have been reading about in the elearning industry, I believe I am better off maintaining a full time job, and I would still pretty much be able to learn what I need to learn after my work hours, since I can very well do it right at home. All I need to do now is look for a learning management system that is best suited to me, which I don’t think will be too difficult, considering how many are already in operation on the internet. All I need to do now is look which particular learning system is easily segmented, since I pretty much can’t get modules that go on for really long hours, since I do have to rest before going to work.

Yes, amazingly they can be use easily. It turns out that I had been wrong in my thinking that elearning tools are no good as a learning management system, as I have been thinking since I heard of the concept.
