Creating an eLearning Checklist

After completing your eLearning module, crossing your T’s and dotting your I’s, there are some important items that should be considered before going live. I would recommend that you have numerous sets of eyes when doing your final review because when people are too close to the project they may not notice things that a fresh pair of eyes would. Here is a sample of the items that should be on your checklist:

• Training needs analysis is complete

• Time and budget restraints have been identified

• Course objectives are met

• Content is broken into “bite-sized” chunks

• Hardware and software requirements are all met

• Navigation of the module is in the correct sequence

• Branding guidelines have been followed

• Color schemes are consistent and visually appealing

• Narration is clear and concise

• Audio synced to content

• Font sizes are clear and visible at all times

• Subject matter expert has verified content

• Language is clear and concise

• The overall flow of the module is appealing

• Images/graphics are meaningful and serve a purpose

• Images/graphics are consistent in size, type and quality

• Relevant assessments/tests are included throughout

• Beta/alpha testing has been completed

This will be a good start in finalizing your eLearning project, and making sure everything is ready for your go-live launch.
