From a sample of one, it can be clearly seen that 25 years working in the field of e-learning makes you much happier than your average Joe. Always up for a survey, I tried their Authentic Happiness Inventory Questionnaire. Well, you can see the results on the pic above and they are, to say the least, conclusive.

We can benchmark what we do against 1000s of everyday examples. We have endless examples from print media and the World Wide Web on which to model our text-based materials. As designers, we don't have that steady stream of everyday examples to give us inspiration. We can model podcasts on what we hear on the radio.

If you were to ask a sample of e-learners in your organisation to describe their experience of e-learning in one word, there's a fair chance the most common response would start with a 'b'. And that's not 'beautiful', 'blistering', 'blinding' or even the just about acceptable 'beneficial'. It's quite likely to be 'boring'.

They need lots of examples, stories, metaphors and similes to help them relate new information to their other life experiences. We can over-teach the relative experts: We patronise them with over-simplified metaphors, examples and case studies. We insult them by forcing them to undergo unnecessary assessments.

But it wont be, for the reasons we established in my workshop example. Perhaps a difficult concept requires further examples. Because the project team will be disbanded straight after launch and its members will disperse. It simply has to be perfect out of the box. Maybe more opportunities are needed for practising a skill.

How can interactivity be used to support this strategy? The final consideration is the level at which to set the production values.

So, for example, we might organise our content into levels, award badges at the end of each level, and if we’re happy that a little competition will help the motivation rather than get in the way, we could add a leader board. The reason we might do this is to provide additional motivation to the learner to make progress through the content.
