Get Skilled to Create Engaging e-Learning

Integrated Learnings

by Jonathan Shoaf. Many of us know the common scenarios. Victor has a great PowerPoint deck on the new widget. Make it available online. Sally created some great videos on changes to the old process. Post those on the corporate site. Work with Jordan to put the face-to-face training in Adobe Captivate so we can roll it out to the rest of the organization at low cost.

Is Your eLearning Effective for Dummies?

Integrated Learnings

By Shelley A. Gable. I recently started teaching myself how to play harmonica with the help of a book from the For Dummies series. And I'm impressed. These guys are good instructional designers. That said, I realize that the point of these books is to instruct. But that's the point of a lot of books, and not all of them do it well. So kudos to them.

Teach Learners to Use Job Aids

Integrated Learnings

By Shelley A. Gable. Many eLearning courses walk learners through a detailed process flow within the course, and then the eLearning courses tell learners that a job aid with the same information is also available for reference later. Instead, consider directing learners to the job aid first. Teach them how to use it, prompt them to refer to it to help them solve a scenario , and provide any supporting clarification and tips as needed within the scenario's context.

Saving Time with Lectora Text Styles

Integrated Learnings

By Joseph Suarez. One helpful feature of Lectora that is often neglected is “Text Styles.” They provide an easy way to set the font, color, and size settings for selections of text or entire text blocks. Best of all, when a Text Style is updated, any affected text in a course is also updated. For example, if you are asked to change the page titles of an entire course from blue to green, you could do so with one quick change rather than manually fix every page.
