SDI practitioner lens
From definition to decision
eLearning creates value when people need consistent access, self-paced preparation, repeatable practice, or support across time and location. Its scalability is useful only when the experience still reflects the real decisions and behaviors the organization needs.
01 / Decision it should inform
Use eLearning when independent access and repeatable delivery matter, then pair it with coaching, practice, or workflow support when proficiency requires feedback and application.
02 / What to watch for
Converting a presentation into screens and adding a quiz may distribute information efficiently, but it does not establish that people can perform differently.
