Here’s our list of some of the best elearning white papers that we’ve read over the last 12 months – updated end of September 2016. It includes a range of great guides with advice and information across topics that include how to implement elearning effectively, choosing a learning management system and making the most of new ideas and technologies, such as mobile or gamification.
Many elearning white papers are hugely informative, but they do come at a cost in terms of investment of your time in reading lengthy documents, and the fact that you inevitably are signing up to newsletters and / or sales call in return for the download. We’ve distilled some of the best – those we think offer something different and could be worth your while.
We’ll be adding to and updating this list of online learning white papers, so if you have read or produced a resource that you think should be included, please let us know!
If you’re researching process and providers for a new elearning project, you may be interested in our articles on the best LMS for training providers and our list of top elearning development services.
We also offer expert advice and help choosing an LMS here at Learning Light.
