What is great elearning – and what isn’t!
The ultimate aim is to develop elearning that users enjoy engaging with and at the same time builds their knowledge, skills and behaviour improvements.
How do you achieve that goal?
Let’s start with what elearning is NOT:
- It’s not a click along where the user’s index finger gets a better work-out than their brain as they move along from slide to slide.
- It’s not Powerpoint on steroids with a few pretty pictures and heavy loads of text on each slide.
- It’s not a time to see how fast you can navigate between the slides withing that the whole dry and boring module would be over.
- It’s also not the time to snooze through a never-ending video when you could read the same information in a document in ¼ the time.
- It doesn’t contain a few silly multiple-choice questions that you could answer without doing the whole module beforehand.
What great elearning IS:
- It’s user-friendly and allows the learner to guide their own experience without having to follow a strict, pre-determined pathway. You know this already – then move along.
- It’s interactive as the user feels that they are in control and they can decide which of the interactive boxes they want to engage with. Who said that learning has to be dry?
- It’s visually appealing as if the user is on a website and has that type of experience where they explore deeper into the topic.
- It feels modern and dynamic and is responsive to learning via mobile while the user is on the go.
- It’s easy to navigate and you includes a whole variety of tools such as links to websites for more detailed learning, video content and downloadable PDFs of texts or tables for further reference or saving post-completion.
