Learning, properly, should have an impact. It’s about systematically changing behavior, developing new skills to meet ever-changing needs. That’s why we invest in learning: training or elearning. If elearning doesn’t make an impact , who cares how accessible or affordable is seems? It’s actually undermining your goals for increasing expertise, effectiveness and productivity.

Articulate Storyline can be used to develop eLearning courses with customized GUIs (Graphical User Interfaces) based on specific requirements. But small mistakes while designing the GUI can lead to issues; so developers need to be conscious and follow the common rules of eLearning development. There are many issues with a customized GUI, but in this blog, I will talk about one issue i.e., “customized script button” and how to overcome this issue in a simple way.

In the last article , we discussed ID, ISD and the various models and frameworks associated with both. The article ended with an introduction to ADDIE framework of learning design. The five phases of ADDIE framework encompass the entire content development process, from discovery to delivery. In a typical waterfall model of design, all phases are sequential and a phase is dependent on the preceding phase and is the precursor to the following phase.

Connecting with students can be difficult even in ideal circumstances. Unlike regular classroom-based courses, digital learning poses an additional set of challenges for instructional designers and students alike. Sometimes even the most well-designed courses may not resonate with certain learners. Despite the instructional designer’s use of cutting-edge technology and well-researched content, some students may still find it hard to comprehend or retain course material — and that can cause

To say that online learning is important in the workplace is an understatement. It’s more accurate to exclaim that online learning, or eLearning, is indispensible in the corporate world.

As luck would have it, I found out about an event on Storytelling Across Media being run in the city, and attended a couple of the panels: half of one on interactive design and Telltale Games, one on story and games, and one on story and VR. There were interesting quotes from each about story, games, and VR that prompted reflection, and I thought I’d share my thoughts with you.

Creating and selling online courses is an exciting entrepreneurial prospect. First, the barriers to entry are virtually non-existent. All you need to do is set aside some time and in a few months your course can be complete (assuming you’re building it on a part-time basis). The harder part is selling it. If you haven’t been promoting your course prior to the launch then your journey to the first sale will be a bit longer but it is by no means impossible.

There are plenty of great authoring tools for developing eLearning, but the one you select could directly impact your course's outcomes. Depending upon your learners’ needs and your organization’s performance goals, you could be overlooking considerations that impact the both effectiveness of your courses and how long it takes to finish them. From general capabilities to specific workflow structures, some aspects are critical when it comes to learning objectives and deadlines.

Well it’s taken me over 3 and a half years, but I’ve finally completed another mooc. I use the term completed loosely, because while I consumed all the content, I didn’t submit any of the assignments. In other words, I completed the course as far as my personal learning needs are concerned, while still feeding the naysayers’ MOOCs-are-a-failure-because-their-completion-rate-is-low argument.

Without question one of the first things people think about when creating a course to sell is how they are going to price it. Should it be a one-time fee? Perhaps a subscription payment? Or maybe a three-month payment plan? Each possible course pricing model is valid in its own way and should be assessed according to your own offering as well as market.

We’ve all been there. You’ve been given a pile of dry content and asked to create a compelling eLearning course. You’re determined to create something more engaging than the same old course that learners quickly click through, but how do you take this “boring” content and create something relevant and engaging? Many instructional designers will say, “Boring in means boring out.

Every worker learns differently given the task, content, and circumstances. Yet, we continue to try to educate, train, and develop everyone in the same way. Maybe it’s time to turn our workplaces into learning labs. By experimenting with different methods of learning and evaluating the process and outcomes of these methods in the workplace, we might discover what methods are best for which workers under what circumstances.

As expected, hot topics like xAPI, virtual reality and video dominated the conversation. When I submitted session ideas for the event a few months back, I noticed no one was talking about adaptive learning.

BYTE Session Recap. Today’s workers, and by extension, our learners, often feel burdened by technology overload. Always connected often means “never unplugged.” How, as both practitioners and people, do we untangle ourselves from the sticky tech web, and make real connections?

Learning objectives are core tools of the trade in learning design. If you can state “By the end of this course/e-learning/other, a learner will be able to X”, you have a focus for your design and a means for reviewers to check that the learning journey will get to its intended destination. I’ve noticed in a few recent projects that clients have drafted learning objectives using the verb “understand” This is contrary to what I was taught in my own learning design 10

Since I’m reminding all of you about the benefits of gratitude for your body and brain in another post, I thought I’d take a moment to share what I’m most thankful for this year. I’m thankful for the love of my life, David. Just this morning I was reminded how much I rely on him for help with our personal and financial lives. If I hadn’t met him one fateful day in my sophomore year in college, I probably would have ended up a crazy neighborhood “cat lady.”.
