My guess is that some of the most common screen elements in elearning courses are computer monitors. They’re nice to use because contextually they fit elearning.

Because of my job, I get to look at a lot of elearning courses. One thing common to quite a few is that they lack a graphic design sense and structure. First, most of the people I talk to don’t have a graphic design background. So they tend to do very basic design work, if any at all. Good Graphic Design Creates Meaning.

I get lots of questions from those who are just getting started with rapid elearning. They want to know what they can do to build good elearning. The same goes for elearning. You won’t necessarily build world-class elearning the first time you build an elearning course. Treat elearning like a textbook.

Over the years elearning software has become easier to use. In the past you had an instructional designer who designed the course. And a graphics designer built the course’s graphics. With the ease of authoring, it’s placed the burden to do all of it on the shoulders of the rapid elearning developer. MightyDeals.

Some of the sub folders I have are: Quizmaker, Engage, Flags, audio, images, notes, fonts, templates, etc. Who owns the content and has final say on the design and implementation of the elearning courses?

Two things always stand out during these trips: There is no one way to do elearning. Some people build courses, some create marketing material, and some use the rapid elearning software to create multimedia information.
