Compressed time to deliver content. Many times we’ll spend 80% of the time going through 50% of the content. Learner flexibility.

A lot of rapid elearning content finds its roots in repurposed classroom slides. A great way to get out of the PowerPoint look is to create screens that hold content in different ways.

When it comes to presentations, it’s a blank slide waiting for content. But in an elearning course, the slide is for content and all of the real estate is valuable.

Feel free to replace the content with your own if you need a quick interactive module. When you build your slides, try to determine what’s persistent and then add as much of the persistent content to the master slide. This lets me use the title area as a way to describe the slide, but not have that content appear in the actual slide.
