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.

This report is also available through
a subscription to the Brandon
Hall Research Library.
