Too often, I visit learning that is frankly weak even if it has all the requisite objectives, structure, and guiding scaffold, e.g. ADDIE by example. Whether in Captivate, Articulate, or a full-blown Flash/HTML course too many learning experiences are dry to the mind, dull to the eye and dead to the ear. But try to stick to type.

Concrete examples presented with no ambiguity; delete anything not directly aligned to training objectives. Screens with material presented in logical order, point by point—like bullets for example. Many engineers would be just fine with a PowerPoint presentation or its equivalent with the addition of examples if necessary.

Off the shelf products, e.g. Articulate, Captivate, Camtasia, Lectora, and other rapid authoring tools support basic interactions but are somewhat superficial given the need to employ these in a variety of environments. They include– Rubber Bands, Fill In’s, Drag & Drops, Matching, and both verbal and visual constructions are typical.

If you can’t run Captivate et.al. Take apart Articulate for example and try to make it do something not designed into the template structure. The special knowledge and deep understanding about how to drive knowledge, skills and behaviors is – to my eye – given way to a single person.

Here’s an example of, at least for me, the best kind of informal learning. One might be told to look elsewhere for examples and so on, but nonetheless it’s scripted. My wife and I recently saw Woody Allen’s terrific film, “Midnight in Paris.” And so… I’m afraid I’ve raised more questions than provided answers.

If you believe as I do the next few years will bring about a decentralization of the command and control that once was school – or the conference hall that “captivated” business learning had better stand by. Meanwhile, assuming I am correct or at least close, how will this affect learning; corporate, and public education?

In other words, anyone can learn, by example, Articulate or Adobe Connect to develop credible learning. Cost savings in the corporate mindset are justified because there is no hard evidence a custom design really does THAT much more than a bunch of Captivates, glued on to a PowerPoint with sound. Sometimes off the shelf makes sense.
