eLearning LMS Content Review - When and How
Short answer: It depends. 😁
Longer answer: Things to consider include the type of content, the number of courses, and the resources available for reviewing.
For example, a course with general content that's unlikely to require big changes (e.g., compliance sexual-harassment training) doesn't need to be reviewed as often as software training, which might need to be updated every time the software is.
And you don't want to overwhelm reviewers with a bunch of courses that all have to be reviewed within the same short timeframe.
The course "owner," e.g., main SME assigned to the course or even the stakeholder, should be responsible for ensuring their course(s) are reviewed at the specified intervals. Ideally, reviewing should be considered an important part of their job, not just another unthanked task.
Review intervals should be based on the type of content, and they should also be spread out. For example, some courses might require an annual review, but some of those could be set for Q1, some for Q2, etc. Be sure to include the stakeholders/SMEs when setting the intervals.
Good luck!
