E-learning is a powerful tool for reaching many learners. It gives participants the freedom to control their own learning, revisit content at their own pace, and engage with material when it suits them. But digital learning is more than just delivering information – to create real impact, it needs to be designed to capture attention, spark reflection and connect knowledge to everyday work life.

Strengths:

✦ Flexible and accessible – participants can learn anytime, anywhere, making it easy to integrate into their daily routines

✦ Personalised – content can be adapted to prior knowledge, pace and individual needs, increasing relevance

✦ Ideal for reinforcement – the ability to revisit content over time supports stronger retention

Things to consider:

🔍 Interactivity should support learning and deepen understanding – not just keep learners busy

🔍 Boost the impact by encouraging participants to reflect and apply knowledge in real-life situations

🔍 Scenario-based tasks, simulations or storytelling can form a strong foundation in e-learning

The example shows the e-learning programme Sustainable Tourism, developed for Region Halland.
