Avoiding drop outs in your eLearning courses

An issue we can see in some eLearning courses is dropouts. The reasons for this are often due to a lack of engagement or interest in the subject matter, which is quite common with compliance courses.

To avoid this problem, you need to make sure that your course is interesting. Follow these tips to keep your content relevant and up-to-date, especially if it’s a compliance course that you’re working on.

Up-to-Date Information

It’s important to have up-to-date information on your course, as well as avoiding overly complicated language and terminology. You should also consider adding images or video into your eLearning courses, as this can really help to break up the text and make it more interesting for learners.

Interactive Course

Having an interactive course is also a great way to keep learners engaged. By adding an element of interactivity to your eLearning courses, you can make sure that learners actively engage themselves in the content, rather than just passively absorbing it.

You can do this by asking questions or providing multiple choice answers. It’s also important to consider the amount of content that you’re putting into your eLearning courses.

Keep Your Content Concise

If you have too much information, then learners will feel overwhelmed and lose interest. Try to keep your content as concise as possible, and only include what is absolutely necessary.

Make Your Course Relevant

Finally, it’s a good idea to create an interactive experience for your learners. You could do this by using an online platform like Webex, or you could use the content from your eLearning course in other areas of your website or company.

This will help to make the information relevant and engaging for learners, as well as encouraging them to visit other areas of your website and brand.

Create Social Media Campaign

You should also try to create a social media campaign around your eLearning course.

By sharing interesting content related to the subject matter on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter, you can encourage learners to share it with their friends and colleagues, helping it spread across the internet.

These are just some of the ways that you can improve engagement and reduce dropouts in your eLearning courses, so make sure that you take these tips into consideration when designing your next course!
