Guidelines for developing a module

Developing your e-Learning Module - up to 60 minutes (90 mins maximum) for video content and exercises.

Video Intro

A brief (<90 second) video intro to your learning module. What the topic is and (briefly) why leaders need to know about it, how it can help them, or what problem it solves.

(Optional) Reflection exercise

A reflection exercise for leaders to work through prior to completing the module - to gauge their current practice or performance of your module/topic.

Educational video content

A series of short videos breaking your module's concept and content down into Sections and Lessons. Ideally, we'd like you to address the following themes and questions within your module Section and Lesson structure.

  • What is it (the topic you are educating viewers on)? Provide conceptual definitions and practical explanations to elucidate the concept and learning as much as possible.
  • Why is this topic important or helpful for leaders? How important is it? In which contexts? Who does it matter to most? Why should leaders know it or do it as part of their work? What is the ROI or value it adds to teams/businesses? Ensure you contextualise the concept within the leadership space. Talk to the research, the back story, or the ROI
  • How do you do it? Outline a process for implementing the concept/tool, share case studies (with appropriate approvals), or convert abstract concepts into something concrete/tangible.

Practical toolkit

Provide a practical toolkit to help leaders apply the learning in real life. Examples include:

  • Templates for doing what you have taught;
  • A ‘how to’ guide for applying your teachings;
  • Scripts or conversation starters;
  • A ‘cheat sheet’ or tips and tricks to help overcome relevant challenges;
  • A blueprint for ‘doing’ that can be copied and edited as required.
  • ‘Early warning signs’ for problems or risks one might encounter, related to your topic.
  • Case studies, real life stories or applications describing this topic/skill and important consequences of.

Further resources

Any further learning resources you recommend, such as:

  • Podcasts, Ted Talks, YouTube videos;
  • Books or audio books;
  • Research articles or publications;
