Abstract

The didactical preparation of learning content challenges many enterprises. Often there is a lack of human resources and thus of necessary didactical expertise in enterprises. Nevertheless, study results indicate that the majority of enterprises create their learning content on their own. To support enterprises with action and design principles in developing adequate learning content, an analysis of the initial conditions in enterprise training is essential as a first step. These findings on the state of practice show both, theory and practice, how enterprises approach the design of learning content, which areas they neglect, and which aspects of the design they face with challenges. Therefore, the main goal of this paper is to elaborate on how enterprises develop learning content and what challenges they face during the development. To reach this goal, we conducted a qualitative study by interviewing 20 experts of enterprise training and identified several approaches but also challenges.

Therefore, the main goal of this paper is to elaborate on how enterprises develop learning content and what challenges they face during the development.
