It also adds the feeling of having a trainer guide you through the process. It Shouldn’t be used for long narratives – The primary use for Text-to-Speech should be to walk learners through a system simulation by guiding them through the clicks.

Guided Practice (aka Try Me) – This simulation guides the learner through a procedure. However, it is ineffective at truly testing a learner’s skill, as it is guided. It is as if the learner is actually clicking in the system, but it includes text and/or audio to tell the learner what to do.

This principle is meant to be a rule of thumb to guide decision making. The 80/20 rule, also known as the Pareto Principle, roughly states that 80% of the results are caused by 20% of the effort. This rule is applied commonly in business situations where for example, 80% of your income comes from 20% of your clients.

That said, well-designed eLearning should feel intuitive and guide learners on where to click if a particular screen is somehow different from the rest. Regardless, this is an area where instructional design principles can guide us. Maybe this is true, maybe it’s not.

Perhaps the last slide of the eLearning course takes learners to a worksheet that guides them through creating a development plan for applying new knowledge to the job. You can accomplish this in an instructor-led setting, a moderated setting such as a discussion board or via email, or by using open text fields in an eLearning lesson.

Guide learners through the application, and explain how each section should be completed. It’s helpful to be familiar with a few of the models available to guide you in eLearning design, so that you can choose to follow the one that resonates most with you…or even combine elements of various models to give yourself a more complete picture.

During a presentation, presenters may want to poll participants to guide the topics covered in the lecture. First, Adobe Connect allows presenters to share PowerPoint presentations. Event hosts can upload these ahead of time and Adobe Connect will convert them to a Flash format. Adobe Connect has robust polling capabilities.

You could use this same approach for a guided practice. Now after you've published and inserted the file into your Lectora course, the Captivate sim will instruct Lectora to go to the next page when the learner reaches the end of the sim. And then Lectora could read the variable.

Here’s an example: In an earlier post, Dean Hawkinson used a similar technique of using pictures to guide learners. Callouts used with pictures provide additional guidance, especially if text is minimal. Instead of callouts, Dean used color emphasis to draw attention to screen areas.

Designers can help with this by ensuring workbook page numbers are in the instructor guide and also on the PowerPoint slides. For instructors, they have to really pay attention to where the participants are in their workbook as they facilitate, even more than in a normal paper-based class.

Performance criteria should guide the type of feedback a learner receives during practice activities and how assessments are scored. In all three objectives above, a 100% accuracy level is implied. When this is the case, it may not be necessary to explicitly state "with 100% accuracy" in the objective.

Learning goals should be used to guide the making of a script. Well, actually, I'm open minded, you could do that if the situation warrants it. But in most cases you need to plan ahead. This starts with the learning goals for the video. The script can be rigid or more ad-lib depending on your preference.
