This white paper defines the framework to launch eLearning as a set of teaching, training, and learning practices not bound by a specific technology platform or learning management system.

The use of eLearning is reemerging as a solution for delivering online, hybrid, and synchronous learning regardless of physical location, time of day, or digital reception or distribution device type.

This white paper considers some of the reasons that institutions and enterprises are turning to eLearning to engage learners with ideas and information. It takes a look at a number of the “lessons eLearned” based on more than 20 years of empirical evidence exploring the use of learning technologies and cognitive achievement.

Finally, it offers practical suggestions for creating digital learning experiences that engage learners by building interest and motivation and providing opportunities for active participation.

SUMMARY
Adobe’s solutions for eLearning are all based upon creating and extending rich-engaging learning experiences that connect learners with instructors, other learners, and rich learning content assets, regardless of physical location.

Engagement is the conceptual glue that holds distributed, distant, and eLearning experiences together. Being able to determine the kinds of outcomes that a learning engagement should enable guides the development of instructional designs, concept specifications, functional specifications, and technical specifications.

These experiences also provide metrics for evaluation. Interactions that promote and enable a strong sense of social presence help keep learners engaged and motivated.

The significant role played by technology mediation, and the value that rich, engaging content creation, distribution, and management tools contribute to the eLearning experience, enables new levels of engagement and participation among all learning stakeholders.
