• Resumen

  • e-Learning has been predicted to be the way forward. Any organization that does not subscribe to this new way of learning may even perish. However, the trend does not seem to be so although more and more organizations conduct eLearning. When we reflect on the different modes of eLearning it seems clear that content of any educational product is the most important component for effective eLearning. It will certainly help the learners to acquire the guided and proper knowledge of any subject. Without the content, the learners would tend to be distracted by all sorts of information that may or may not be relevant to the subject of his study. We therefore need to ensure that the content would assist the student learn what he needs to and leads him towards learning more. This paper purports to outline how best the content should be developed to achieve the objectives of the learner. This involves the established learning theories that are available in the literature. Secondly, it would also discuss the various forms of content that could be developed in the face of different eLearning environments. Thirdly, this paper would also attempt to share the experience UNITAR had gone through its six years of conducting eLearning and developing the contents.
