“How can we make mandatory training more than a tick box exercise?”. That’s the top topic voted by blog readers , so here’s my take. For “mandatory training,” I’m picturing any material that says some version of “Follow these rules.”. It’s sheep-dip training.

First, you schedule people out of the operation to attend a class or complete an eLearning module.

One of the most common challenges for anyone designing slides for presentations or elearning projects is what do with text content.

Mistake #1: too much on-screen text. We have all been guilty of this at some time or another (I blame PowerPoint). You have so much that you want to share with the learner that you end up adding too many bullet points or paragraphs onto a single screen. Even worse is if there are multiple lessons or topics in a row that just contain text. What ultimately happens is that people just skim the text or don’t read it at all.
