Award-Winning Custom Content 2005: Description and Videos of 28 Online Courses from the Brandon Hall Excellence in Learning Awards

 

Benchmarking Your Courses
Against Winners

The Excellence in Learning Awards program consistently shows us how innovative learning programs can be. For the 2005 awards program, in the early process of collecting entries, we placed a special emphasis on obtaining as much results information as we could about each entrant so we can learn more about what winning organizations do better than everyone else.

The over-arching reason for collecting more comprehensive and detailed information is to share it so that everyone who cares about best practices can learn from others. If your learning program needs great examples to follow, or if you want to see how best to tackle a new initiative, this report can show you how to do it.

With this report, you’ll see how each organization defined its goals and assembled a team, how they tackled instructional design aspects, which tools they used, how long it took, and how they measured results. Each profile also includes screen shots and contact information for all of the organizations involved. Also included in each of the 28 case studies are candid comments from the judges that show just what they thought of the final course, warts and all.

Plus, purchasers of this report receive access to a special Web site with selected excerpts from winning programs. In some cases, the entire program is available for review. This allows you to experience the top-shelf courseware of organizations like Aetna, Avon, Chase, Delta, GE, Microsoft, SAP, and the U.S. Air Force, among many others. While you’re finding out how smart businesses are tackling their learning challenges, you’re also seeing how some of the best custom content creators take their clients’ instructions and turn them into sharp, interactive online content.

It’s all designed to give you a look inside the processes these organizations followed to develop smarter and more innovative e-learning courses – some with lots of time and deep pockets, and some with meager resources and a ticking clock. It’s a great way to benchmark your own learning initiative against the practices of proven winners.
