About This Coaching Program

Guided Coaching for building your own e-Learning program is an outcome based workplace coaching program for teaching and management staff to develop sustainable blended learning service products. It enables training staff to embed and transform their own learning content into complete eLearning courses. Guided Coaching for building your own e-Learning program is a standalone part of the institutional & business development program The Comprehensive Package for Building eLearning Organisations, CPeO.

The multidisciplinary nature of the subject eLearning calls for extended teacher and management training. Experience fom teacher training programmes in the recent years has shown that a different dissemination mode for eLearning enabling is required than training can offer. Staff have to master the change management tasks within their institution. And real job tasks must be accomplished when new capacities are built. Hoffmann&Reif have consequently come up with an effective institutional empowerment package. Training about eLearning as a subject is one part of this capacity building. Further characteristics are:
  • Blended workplace coaching for teaching and management staff
  • Action learning methodology
  • Comprehensive eLearning service planning, production, delivery and quality assurance
  • Open source infrastructure and open contents for institution wide multiplication

  • a mandate for an e-learning project and access to a budget allocated by the institution to introduce eLearning to his/her institution/company
  • a responsibility for an eLearning project beyond the programme. He/she has preferably a budget responsibility
  • The participating institution and Hoffmann&Reif develop jointly a strategy for institution building (preferably before enrollment) to institutionalize eLearning services at early stages.
Further prerequisites for participation are:
  • English language skills and ability to communicate in English language (e.g. to follow workshop discussions, to read CPeO study materials, to write e-mails; important note: participants can build their e-learning courses in any language)
  • Self learning experience
