Time is one of our scarcest resources today. Unfortunately for most, it\u2019s impossible to be in two places at once, but what is within your power is your ability to better organize your tasks and your time.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you create e-learning content and want to make the most out of what time you have, these 5 tips will help improve your personal productivity and create more quality, online courses in less time.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Define your plan of attack<\/h2>\n

Even though the process for creating content is well-established, if you have a lot of tasks and all the phases start blurring together, it can be confusing. That\u2019s why the first (and perhaps most important) thing you can do is lay out a plan for designing your online courses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The steps to creating an e-learning course are usually as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Determine what the target audience is.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Define the online course\u2019s objectives.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Organize the e-learning content.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Propose guidelines for instructional design.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Create a storyboard and script.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Construct the e-learning course.<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Carry out tests to make sure it\u2019s working correctly.<\/span><\/li>\n
  8. Publish the course.<\/span><\/li>\n
  9. Promote it and gather feedback.<\/span><\/li>\n
  10. Measure the results.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    2. Organize your schedule<\/h2>\n

    Once you have your plan laid out, it\u2019s time to organize your schedule so you can meet your deadlines and complete your tasks. Creating a style guide that centralizes all the main aspects of the process will help you streamline your approach and maintain consistency in your content.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Task managers and other organizational tools can also help you track the process in real-time.<\/span><\/p>\n

    3. Set up your workspace<\/h2>\n

    It\u2019s important to have an organized workspace that gives you access to everything you need right when you need it. This doesn\u2019t just mean all the physical tools (notebooks, pens, etc.) but also the online tools and programs you need to do your job (Photoshop, Word, Google Drive, etc.).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Try it at your company! You\u2019ll be shocked at how much time the simple act of having what you need at your fingertips will save.<\/span><\/p>\n

    4. Use authoring tools<\/a> to your advantage<\/h2>\n

    Digital transformation has brought about many new technologies that have become crucial allies to professionals and<\/span> instructional designers<\/span><\/a> from all walks of life. Specifically, authoring tools make it easy to blend a variety of elements throughout the process of creating e-learning courses.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
