Why is the ‘time to complete’ a piece of elearning such an important number? I’ve taken a dive into the data to look at how people estimate cost and time in instructional design and the impact this could be having on businesses. There are two ways of looking at the cost of elearning: 1. Market value: How much is your vendor charging you? Or, how much are you charging for your learning product?

‘Heuristic evaluation’ was pioneered by Jakob Nielsen and Rolf Molich in 1990. This is the definition of the term from their website – Heuristic evaluation is a usability engineering method for finding the usability problems in a user interface design so that they can be attended to as part of an iterative design process. Heuristic evaluation involves having a small set of evaluators examine the interface and judge its compliance with recognized usability principles (the “heuristics&

On the third day, you send another email asking for help. The SME emails you back saying, “I thought that list was just an FYI. I didn’t realize you needed me to do anything.

You have an idea for a course but you haven’t started it yet. There is one reason why you should start sooner rather than later. I’m not going to lie: creating an online course can be challenging. If anyone tells you that you can have it up in a weekend then they are trying to fool you. All you need to do is ask anyone who has ever created a course and they will tell you the amount of work they put into it.

I have fielded many questions related to online courses over the years, and the biggest obstacles preventing them from launching are often self-imposed. Online courses offer a significant opportunity to earn extra income, supplement a consulting service, or to even start a business. The concept is pretty simple. Create a course that is split up into logical lessons and then sell it.

2017 was a big year for learning. Organizations focused on looking outside of the traditional learning box, looking to find ways to support learners in every moment of learning need, not just during formal instruction. There was a recognition that learning isn’t over just because the LMS indicates the learner completed a course. InSync’s top 10 blogs of 2017 largely represent this trend towards learner-centered experiences, providing tools and strategies that enable learner success and continue

You’ll find the term “patient-centered care” floating around in the mission statements of many a hospital and clinic. The patient-centered care model focuses on the patient’s health and experience during every interaction with healthcare professionals. In this model of care, the patient is considered an integral part of their own treatment team. Therefore, treatment addresses the patient’s needs, “not only from a clinical perspective, but also from an emotional, mental, spiritual, social and fin

. One of the biggest points of confusion I’ve seen evolve in recent years is how people use the word “responsive” when speaking about device-independent eLearning. How can it be that people can interpret one word so differently? Over time, “responsive” has become the preferred word used when talking about device-independent development. Developing for multiple devices impacts both the developer—in the design and development process—and the learner—through the user experience and how content dis

Virtually There Session Recap. “Build an eLearning course,” they say. “It’s what you’re great at! You can have it done by Friday.” Sound familiar? eLearning’s popularity as both stand alone instruction and part of a larger blend makes it a standard in many instructional design portfolios. Unfortunately, the “go do that thing you do” mentality reflects a general misunderstanding of the complicated nature of eLearning production.
