Last week I compared retail design to e-learning design. In this article I am going to explore more about what we need to consider when creating e-learning so it’s a great learning experience.
What do most people complain about when faced with the prospect of ‘doing a bit of e-learning’?
Boring – mind numbing and tedious. Slide after slide of text – why do we do that? Why do we reproduce pages of text in an authoring tool when that same information has already been produced and is sat in a Word document or .pdf somewhere on the intranet? Are these walls of text there just to provide an excuse to have a multiple choice quiz at the end to ‘test’ their knowledge? Why do we give ourselves that extra work?
