Thursday, February 21, 2008 My Client is Addicted: Audio in eLearning Cathy Moore had a post a few months ago ( Addicted to Audio? that inspired me to change my approach to using audio in eLearning. She suggested using audio sparingly. And yesterday I just added audio back to every page. A line here or there.

Good audio is critical to your elearning success. You might be a great instructional designer and create the most engaging courses possible. But it all falls apart if the audio quality in your course is not very good. A good mic is going to give you good audio quality. Invest in a good quality microphone.

Are you creating a 30-minute course? Writing an Audio Script. If you're going to include voiceover audio (and I highly suggest that you do since audio has been shown to improve the learner experience), you should create an audio script. It could easily take you 40 hours or more to prepare an audio script.

Around the same time, the ASTD Learning Circuits Blog had the July "Big Question" which was "Choosing Tools" which is actually a series of questions: How does the eLearning design process need to change to accommodate such a wide variety of tools? you really need video or would audio work just as well.

A question I’m asked quite often is whether or not to offer instructions on course navigation. It’s a good question because while many courses do have instructions, sometimes they just don’t seem necessary. I addressed this in a previous post where I asked if you need instructions on how to use an elearning course.

In fact, it’s difficult sometimes to separate the quality of the overall eLearning program from individual course efforts. Some organizations have purposely created varying levels of course quality in order to accommodate stakeholders who desire rapid delivery, versus those that want more immersive interactivity within their courses.

It’s clear to me that many folks are still thinking of mobile as content delivery in a course mode. There’s nothing wrong with content delivery, e.g. for performance support, and for course augmentation, but the panel (Kris Rockwell, Ed Prentice) was wisely arguing for a broader vision for mobile learning.

Because it was new and there wasn’t a lot of consistency around interface design, most courses started with a “how to navigate this course” course. And besides, many elearning courses use a similar layout which makes it easy to know what to do. With that said, the majority of the courses I see do offer the mini course.

In the past you had an instructional designer who designed the course. Then there was a programmer who did the programming of the course. And a graphics designer built the course’s graphics. In an ideal world you’d have all the resources you need to build your elearning courses, but for many of you that’s not going to happen.
