First of all - what is rapid eLearning?


Dr. Maureen Murphy: Rapid eLearning programmes are characterised as having a shorter development time and lower cost than traditional eLearning. Essentially you could have a rapid eLearning course up and running within a couple of weeks.

Rapid eLearning is also more suited for short courses or bite-sized learning. It should focus on one or two specific topics and be limited to a maximum of thirty minutes of learning.
