I have mixed feelings about templates. On one hand templates are great because they help guide the production process and maintain consistency. On the other hand, it’s easy to become too reliant on templates. Often this forces us to use templates that don’t fit the context of the course content. They have thousands.

One of the topics we cover in the elearning workshops is how to quickly create templates to help move the elearning courses out of that PowerPoint look. I like to do these templates because they help bring out a few ideas. Most of us aren’t graphic designers and we struggle to come up with a nice looking design.
