A long time…

I am currently working on a short presentation for a staff meeting at an education cooperative I work with.  After scouring through the web for relevant information, the blog from Bryan Chapman at Brandon Hall Research looks to be the most accurate.  I encourage everyone to check it out now because he is in the process of updating the information this month and your input is needed!

In general, here’s the information he posted:

Ratio for each Type of learning

34:1 Instructor-Led Training (ILT), including design, lesson plans, handouts, PowerPoint slides, etc.

33:1 PowerPoint to E-Learning Conversion. Not sure why it takes less time then creating ILT, but that’s what we discovered when surveying 200 companies about this practice

220:1 Standard e-learning which includes presentation, audio, some video, test questions, and 20% interactivity

345:1 Time it takes for online learning publishers to design, create, test and package 3rd party courseware

750:1 Simulations from scratch. Creating highly interactive content

Check the post out for yourself here.  Don’t forget to participate in the survey while you are there.
