She needed me to address something, and she brought it to my attention. Now, when a client brings an issue to my attention, I remind myself that I want them to bring it up, and I want them to trust me to care and address their concerns. Like learning a new song, e-learning courses won’t be perfect on the first draft.

Each learner comes with a different level of experience with computers, and some learners require more attention than others. This keeps their attention focused and lets them take their time performing the steps themselves. Making sure each participant walks away with everything he or she needs can sometimes feel like a juggling act.

It’s our responsibility to our students to make sure we aren’t wasting their attention and time with unnecessary information. Ask questions that focus the SMEs attention on on-the-job performance.

E-learning courses need to be visually vibrant and appealing to command and retain the attention of the learner. If that’s the case, I like to develop an updated course outline and go over it with my client. Are there graphics that are useful, relevant, clear, and attractive? In self-paced e-learning, the visuals need to stand on their own.

In the July/August issue, an article on memory champion Joshua Foer caught my attention – and still has me thinking. The information often makes me ask how we can best use this new information to develop the best courseware for our learners. Joshua Foer won the U.S.

Born 1977-1998 (also called Millennials, Generation Y, Echo Boomers, Generation Next, and Net Generation) have been raised in child-centric households with technology, showers of attention, and high parental expectations. As we know from the research, this has created a generation of learners who… ARE. Technologically literate.

In a high-pressure situation, a knee-jerk reaction might be to fire off an email before really paying attention to how it will be received. You’ve discussed this with him or her, but the problem still exists. Your frustration is valid, but it’s important to be sensitive to the feelings of others.

Let’s face it, if you’re texting back and forth, your full attention isn’t on the work in front of you. Try focusing all your attention on a single task at any given time. Multitasking. One of the 100 things mentioned in the book I reviewed in November was the fact that people cannot truly multitask.

Pay attention to the world around you—inspiration can come from a billboard, an app, or a self-serve kiosk. Presenting the same old content in new and different ways. Dealing with dry content, such as regulatory requirements. Getting creative quickly. Keeping courses interactive. Where do you find inspiration? Dissecting other courses.

You want to stick with what the learners need to know to do their jobs well, while excluding extraneous information that just takes time and attention away from what really matters. Your job is to filter all this information based on the needs of the learners and the performance goals of the course. This isn’t always easy.
