Building low-cost eLearning–Is this Power Point?

Tight budgets describe many international non-profits and NGOs. Still they have to educate employees around the world on, say, organization policy, and project management. The eLearning Guild and LINGOS sponsor an annual competition—the eLearning Global Giveback– to develop and share courses. One finalist for this year is Population Services International’s course on “Pretesting Social Marketing Messages”.

Until we find out the winner, last year’s winning entry is worth a look. Articulate’s David Anderson and his  Tom Kuhlmann, of the super-popular award-winning blog Rapid E-Learning created a low budget interactive course (in Power Point) on “Using Communications Tools at Christian Aid”. It helps employees choose the right communications tool, like email, Skype, video conferencing, or Web Ex–to make best use of organizational resources. Tom tells us all about its development in this blog post.

The 2011 winners will be announced Thursday March 24 at the eLearning Guild’s Learning Solutions Conference and Expo in Orlando, Florida.
