E-Learning
Perform an Internet search of the term “e-learning” and you will discover many different definitions, depending on who is using the term. In my case, I simply refer to the use of the Internet and e-mail to deliver life and transition coaching lessons to clients who would prefer to pursue personal development on their own time, at their own pace. I currently offer both e-courses and e-booklets.
How Do E-Courses Work?
E-courses come in multiple lessons, which are designed to be self-paced and are delivered by e-mail in Microsoft Word documents. Initially, you should read through all the materials provided for the lesson. Then, you begin working on the first assignment for that lesson. Some exercises are written ones but most of them require you to take action and report back (also called “fieldwork”).
When you complete an assignment, you send it back via e-mail. In turn, I will provide feedback and personal coaching throughout your learning process via e-mail. If you don’t understand a concept or exercise, by all means, send me an e-mail, so that I can help to clarify. If you get stuck on an exercise or fieldwork, let me know so that we can discuss strategies you can take to move you forward.
After you receive feedback from an assignment, you then work on the next assignment or exercise and send it in when you are finished. I will send on the next lesson when it is appropriate and so on until the e-course is complete. Note, however, that some lessons take more time to complete and you may not have to complete all of a lesson in order to receive the next lesson. In some cases, you may just need to have embarked on incorporating a change in your life and can therefore, move forward with the next lesson.
What are E-Booklets?
E-booklets, as the name implies, are shortened versions of e-books and consist of coaching tools or materials that are delivered via e-mail and have no interactivity. You simply read through the materials and implement the program on your own, at your own pace.
