Some of the best e-learning courses maximize their reach with learners with minimum investment. We’ll walk you through some examples to inspire your next e-learning content creation process. Below, we’ll discuss some of the best e-learning approaches, including some examples for your reference:
1. Microlearning
Microlearning provides short bursts of focused learning content that’s easy to consume in a matter of minutes. As the information is delivered in bits, you can access it on various platforms and devices, including mobile phones and tablets. This makes it convenient and accessible when desired.
Some good e-learning examples through microlearning include:
When to apply microlearning:
2. Social-collaborative e-learning
Social Collaborative Learning refers to maneuvering the existing human resources in an organization by encouraging employees to collaborate, create, and share their expertise with their counterparts.
It’s one of the most flexible, cost-effective, and smart ways to train and utilize the existing resource pool.
With Learning Management Systems (LMS) and user-friendly authoring tools like Easygenerator, creating, publishing, and sharing content on e-learning platforms has never been simpler. Even a novice without any technical background can create the most engaging learning content like a pro.
Some interactive e-learning examples in social learning include:
Why apply social learning content:
3. Scenario-based e-learning (SBL)
SBL is an example of interactive e-learning where the learners are provided with a situation or a question and are allowed to interpret and answer. That’s why a multi-pronged approach can be anticipated to resolve a given problem. With the use of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technology, you can even experience real-life scenarios like boardroom meetings, training halls, or cafeteria conversations.
The following scenario is an example of SBL:

Imagine being a senior manager. How would you ensure quality outcomes with minimum supervision in today’s work-from-home reality? You would likely provide different paths the learner could take and then understand the consequences of choosing a path as a solution. It’s a trial-and-error method but gives a solid understanding of what to do, what not to do, and why.
Why apply SBL:
4. Quizzes and assessments
Question-and-answer activities have always been a simple yet significant way to initiate interaction between two or more parties. Adding practice sessions or assessments through multiple-choice questions, quizzes, or puzzles can retain the attention of the learners. It can also analyze how much they grasped from the learning session.
Why apply assessments:
5. Gamified e-learning
Integrating games in e-learning modules are the best way to enhance the engagement levels in a training program. Again, the use of AR, VR, as well as interactive user interfaces can blend gaming as a part of e-learning. Something as simple as flashcards can also be a good start.
Why apply gamification:
