Planning your journey into embedding e-learning practices
With acknowledgement to the Design Lively Elearning with Action Mapping
slides by Cathy Moore located on Slideshare 2009
1. Identify your goals
• What educational change do you want to create with the e-learning practice?
• What e-learning tool/practice will provide the solution to your delivery issues?
Why care about the goal?
• A measurable goal helps you:– Design relevant actions– Identify essential
content– Evaluate the success of
your project– Show how your effort
supports e-learning
Example Goals:
• Demonstrate how to explore e-learning tools
• Demonstrate how to implement e-learning initiatives
• Demonstrate how to embed e-learning practices
Put the goal in the middle of your map
Write your goal here
E-learning Goal
Identify what people need to do
• List actions that people must take to reach the e-learning goal
Example Actions
• To understand the use and potentials for Web 2.0 tools
• To encourage and support others in the use of e-learning initiatives
• To fully accept and include e-learning in core business
• Explore and use an e-learning tool for a period of time
• Implement an e-learning project with a group
• Embed an e-learning practice into your everyday work
Put the actions round your goal
Design or locate practice activities
• For each action that learners must take in the e-learning experience, design or locate a practice activity:
Practice activities
Example Activities:
• Activities enabling practice in e-learning:
– Example 1: create & maintain a blog for 6 months
– Example 2: mentor a group in using blogs
– Example 3: add blogging as a weekly practice
Put the activities on your map
• Link each activity to the action it supports
Put the actions round your goal
Identify what people need to know
• Identify the information that the learners must have to complete each practice activity
really, really
Identify what people need to knowreally, really
Example information:
• Information essential for the activities:– How to create a blog– How to involve a group in collaborative blogs– How to encourage blogging on a weekly basis
Put the information on your map
• Link the information to each practice activity

The Action Mapping process!
1. Identify the goal2. Identify what people need to do to reach the
goal3. Design or locate activities that help people
practice those actions4. Identify the minimum information people
need to complete each activity
Everything supports the e-learning goal!
Action that will help
reach the goal
Realistic practice
activity for that action
Only the essential
information for that activity
Measurable goal

Benefits of using the map as a development tool
– Tightly focussed and relevant process– Re-useable materials– Realistic compelling activities– No irrelevant information– More likely to have a measurable impact
“Our exploration,
implementation and embedding
did that!”
