I&#8217;ll also offer tips to keep your next eLearning project on track.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>How To Overcome 7 Obstacles That Compromise Your eLearning Development Timeline<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everything is going according to plan until disaster strikes. Some proactive planning and forethought may be able to save you from missed deadlines and unhappy clients, though. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are 7 obstacles that can throw your eLearning development timeline off course, as well as respective tips to help you stay on schedule and ensure that your eLearning team runs like a well-oiled L&amp;D machine.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>1. Ambiguous Learning Objectives And Expectations<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>You have the right tools and team members in place.<\/strong> All of your collaborators are aware of their respective tasks and responsibilities. However, nobody knows which common learning <a href=\"https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/2017\/05\/how-set-measurable-learning-objectives-goals.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>goals or objectives<\/strong><\/a> they are working toward. In other words, the pieces are in place but the overall puzzle is still ambiguous. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your eLearning team must clearly define the <\/span>learning objectives<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, desired outcomes, and expectations beforehand. <strong>Meet with the client to discuss their thoughts and suggestions,<\/strong> and work together to come to a common consensus regarding the aim of the eLearning project. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This gives you a clear direction moving forward so that you don&#8217;t have to waste time second-guessing later on. In addition, you don&#8217;t have to worry about re-creating all of the eLearning content when the client finally clarifies the learning objectives.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>2. Unexpected Revisions<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most time-consuming and frustrating obstacles you may encounter is unforeseen revision rounds. In most cases this ties into the first hurdle. However, it can also be attributed to ineffective prototypes or lack of client involvement. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Create a detailed sample so that the client can provide their honest opinion.<\/strong> For example, they would like to see more brand integration or<\/span> video demos <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in the online training course. This helps to prevent lengthy revisions that you didn&#8217;t factor into the original eLearning development timeline. You might even consider a phase-based approach wherein the client reviews the online training materials after each section is complete.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Collaborator Conflicts<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Anytime you have a group of people working together, there are bound to be some disagreements.<\/strong> However, a simple difference of opinion can quickly escalate into an all-out conflict that derails your eLearning development timeline. For this reason, it&#8217;s best to have conflict resolution protocols in place. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an example, collaborators should try to settle the matter on their own or speak directly with the <\/span><b>eLearning Project Manager <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to resolve the issue. It&#8217;s also a good idea to schedule weekly meetings so that everyone can get their thoughts out into the open instead of letting their emotions brew silently until they boil over. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lastly, choose a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/elearningindustry.com\/top-10-free-project-management-online-platforms-elearning-professionals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>Project Management onl<\/b><b>i<\/b><b>ne platform<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that gives your eLearning team the power to communicate and collaborate without limitations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6452 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/EFRONT_20171221_1200x314.png\" alt=\"7 Obstacles That Can Compromise Your eLearning Development Timeline - eFront Blog\" width=\"1200\" height=\"314\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/EFRONT_20171221_1200x314.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/EFRONT_20171221_1200x314-300x79.png 300w, https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/EFRONT_20171221_1200x314-768x201.png 768w, https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/EFRONT_20171221_1200x314-1024x268.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/EFRONT_20171221_1200x314-810x212.png 810w, https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/EFRONT_20171221_1200x314-1140x298.png 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3>4. Ineffective Tools<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have to use a broad range of tools to get the job done and produce a high-quality deliverable. But what if the software you&#8217;re using is outdated or ineffective? You&#8217;ll have to spend time researching new tools and then pay for them out of your pocket. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alternatively, you can simply carry on with the platforms you already have at your disposal, which can slow down the entire process. Either way, you run the risk of going over deadline and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/2017\/07\/training-budget-minimize-training-costs.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>budget<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This can all be avoided by having the right tools on hand before you start the eLearning project. Identify the client&#8217;s needs, determine which software will achieve the desired outcome, and then factor the cost into your estimate.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>5. Unrealistic eLearning Budget<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The client wants all the bells and whistles on a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/elearningindustry.com\/tight-elearning-budget-6-tips-create-amazing-online-training-course\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>tight eLearning budget<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <strong>Or your eLearning team has neglected to calculate all the costs involved in creating the estimate.<\/strong> Both of these scenarios can put a wrench in your eLearning development timeline and slow it to a halt, as you&#8217;ll probably run out of resources before you&#8217;ve accomplished the goals. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This obstacle can be avoided by accurate estimates and realistic expectations. Clients should have an itemized break down of the fees involved, as many may not even realize the true cost of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/elearningindustry.com\/directory\/software-categories\/elearning-authoring-tools\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>eLearning authoring tools<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, manpower, and maintenance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>6. Lack Of Skills And Experience<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This applies <strong>both to the <\/strong><\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/elearningindustry.com\/top-7-qualities-of-a-high-performance-elearning-team\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">eLearning team<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong> and the client.<\/strong> Your collaborators may not have the skills you require to create effective eLearning content or use the available tools. This involves a steep, time-consuming learning curve. Likewise, the client might not be familiar with eLearning development. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thus, they don&#8217;t provide you with the information you need or ask excessive questions that delay the eLearning project. In both instances<strong>, clearly defined roles and responsibilities are essential<\/strong>. Team members must know which skills are required for the job in advance so that they can bridge gaps, and clients should know that you expect them to participate in the process. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, they need to provide you with all the online training materials within the first week and then attend a &#8220;check-in&#8221; meeting every month.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>7. Working With Dry And Dull Subject Matter<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Your eLearning team is experienced and skilled.<\/strong> Clients provide you with regular input and maintain an open line of communication. But there is one obstacle that is out of everyone&#8217;s hands: boring subject matter. Unfortunately, there just are some topics that are more yawn-worthy than others and trying to liven them up can slow down the eLearning development process and delay delivery dates. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The secret to avoiding this hurdle is to tap into the power of your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/elearningindustry.com\/tips-improve-lateral-thinking-skills-elearning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>lateral thinking skills<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and get creative. Use a rapid eLearning authoring tool to add eye-catching media.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong> Incorporate interactive online training activities that foster immersion.<\/strong> Break the eLearning content into easily digestible lists, <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/elearninginfographics.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>infographics<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and other visual aids. Don&#8217;t let a dry and dull subject matter get the better of you!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These 7 obstacles may be formidable but you have the power to circumnavigate them by using the above tips and tricks. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This article may even help you plan for the unexpected well in advance, saving you the time and expense of having to deal with unforeseen roadblocks that compromise your eLearning development timeline.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you want your next eLearning course to be easily digestible and accessible to all online learners?
