Group job roles into risk categories or use a pre-test to identify gaps in knowledge, then point each user to what they specifically need to know (information overload = disengaged learners).

As well as the videos covered in my last post , the resources for the first week of Edinburgh University’s E-learning and Digital Cultures MOOC included a paper by Daniel Chandler about technological determinism.

If the learner has to expend energy deciphering the pertinent information from the extra add-ons, they are more likely to not retain the information presented in the program. Which would explain why many learners are unable to retain much information from a text-only presentation that is 20 slides in length.

There’s no shortage of information and advice out there about designing fantastic e-learning – and lots of it is very good advice. In preparation for the webinar, I asked my Twitter network to tell me what they’d change if they were in this situation of having to improve or refresh an e-learning course with limited resources.

Read it, and then consider what other information or resources you’re aware of that might be useful. And it’s much easier to find out names and Twitter handles (if they have them) in advance, rather than scrambling around in Twitter’s search at the start of the session.

The way I do this is to create what I call a ‘screen type index’ I put this at the start of every storyboard I write to give me that at-a-glance big picture information. However, it’s also important to keep an eye on the big picture and how each individual screen fits into the context of the course.
