We have been here before – existing eLearning content, how to handle conversion etc. But that was for mLearning (read blog). Existing content can either be treasure or trash, or at times somewhere in between. So, the first step is to take a look at the content and check whether it suffices for the current learning condition too. If not, then you may have to get into the Analysis step- collect all the information required to fill in the gaps if any.
In many cases the existing content/eLearning can be imported into the authoring tool and parts of it can be even used as is. However, there is a considerable amount of instructional designing required to make it course ready. While we are at it, here are some tips to consider while converting existing content into Microlearning.
