Pay attention to all senses, sight, sound, smell, touch. You may not be able to do this for all situation but don’t forget sound in an online simulation. A key element in this exercise is to surprise the learner so he/she reacts as trained (or doesn’t and needs more training. This training saves lives.

Objectives that tell the learner what is going to happen, objectives that ruin any surprises and seem to avoid anything that sounds like an adventure. On the other hand, when a learner first enters an e-learning module they are confronted with a material to read, static images and a list of instructional objectives. Not an adventure.

So, if you design interactive instruction that is challenging, requires the learner to interact and forces them to think, you are doing a good thing and should NOT back off if you know you’ve developed instruction based on a sound instructional methodology. As a professional you have to require the learner to take the medicine.

The machinimatographer records sound and visuals, then compiles the story strategically for learning results. Learners then get to know the characters in ways you otherwise wouldn't wrap your mind around. The machinima stories connect with the learners using mulitiple senses.
