Monday, November 05, 2007 Instructional Design Inspiration As I mentioned last week , Im in the midst of designing my first custom eLearning course in quite awhile. Now that Ive been actually doing some writing, Im having to put it all to work. Ideally, Im trying to figure out how to make this a bit interactive.

Havent designed an interactive exercise in ages. So, what do I do if Im not doing that? The content, not the graphics. I use words like "cognitive load theory" or "working memory". Im not such an anal person, so this isnt my favorite thing in the world. And Im really excited about the project Im working on.

Give the learner a variety of ways to access the content -- on the same screen. Last year, we did a similar exercise at the school -- although this time, I was a teacher taking the test. We used a different approach: The Playground Theory of Learning developed by Shelly Loewen. Thats about all I knew of it. Imagine my confusion.

This manufacturing process training course was originally delivered as a four hour plus death-by-PowerPoint classroom session (if you could see the original PPT source content, youd begin glazing over within a few slides). SMEs felt a bit threatened by this fun take on their sacred content. Im glad youre on board with my ducks!
