Competency-Based Learning: How to Bridge the Skills-Gap was originally published in the IACET blog as a guest post by Digitec President Jack McGrath. The skills-gap issue is growing more critical in the U.S., especially within those industries that are supported by professional associations. Continuing education is needed to address the crisis, but while most associations do provide education, a number of third-party suppliers have entered the marketplace as well.

Searches on Google on some e-Learning related terms are dropping year by year: searches on Instructional design for example dropped by 80% since 2005. On SCORM the drop is 83%. Is this a decline in interest for e-Learning or is a signal for something else? Why is this happening? I do not believe it is a declining interest in e-Learning. The e-Learning market is over 50 billion and is growing with double digits each year.

One of the most import questions you will face when deploying an LMS is, “how do I organize my users?” The decisions you make here will impact things like Reporting and Admin Rights, as well as Content Management, Branding, and Enrollment Rules for learners. If you plan to create your user accounts via a feed from your HRIS or payroll system, then it will be difficult to make changes down the road without impacting your integrations and processes.

One of the key goals of any Instructional Designer, educator or SME of an online course, is to engage learners into the course and help them successfully achieve the learning objectives.

You need to determine what worked to get you where you are, so that you can create a plan to realistically reach your goals. How do you accumulate this data? To begin, you can collect a bit of information through employee feedback surveys. Does the employee feel they can do their job better after training?
