One of our competitors in the market for wind turbines are advanced in their E-Learning. And here we cut get a lot of inspiration on how it could be done. They have of cause the entire wind turbine in their scoop, where we only need to focus on the blade. My approach on E-Learning is safety. But it could easily be extended to be quality and production too. I would even argue that we should put all tree together from the beginning. It belongs thogether and will create a holistic picture in our colleagues mind.
( We will demolish the old fashioned way of leader thinking: That there is an inherent conflict between quality - production and safety )

Hi Nils,
I appreciate your enthusiasm and comments about the potential of e-learning. As an instructional designer with over 15 years experience developing and designing various forms of instructor-led and virtual courses, a business has to be careful when looking to invest in the time and talents in order to build, implement, and continuously improve the courses that are launched in an e-learning format. E-Learning is just another word for “distance-learning.” Distance learning has many values but many pitfalls that are often overlooked. Many studies have shown that one of the major pitfalls for companies, education institutions, and individuals when developing e-learning content is to shovel an original course used in an instructor-led environment to that of a distance-learning format (e-learning). A term often called “shovelware.”
As it pertains to safety and use of an e-learning format to train and inform employees, LM Wind Power needs to be aware of the performance problems that are attempting to be addressed and the audience who is to participate. There are vast differences in resources that are available in each of our plants. Eighty percent of our population is blue-collar workers. The technological resources (computers, lap tops, software, computer labs (office) ) that are necessary for employees to participate are not in existence at this point. Also, another large factor to consider is the culture and language that is to be used. If e-learning is to be of value for what is the most important segment of our workforce (blue-collar), LM must address the language barrier that exists. Producing e-learning in multiple languages requires more resources.
If you are interested, I have developed e-learning courses relating to safety for Grand Forks that you can view. I have developed 5 modules worth of courses thus far. I know of no resource or talents in LM that are doing this to date?
Hi Wind guy. / Can you mail your mail adress to me, so I can lean some more about your Safety E-learning that you have made in Grand Forks / Thanks´
