However, multi-choice questions are a blunt instrument when it comes to interacting with a student and certainly don''t give the feel of a tutorial relationship. Modern tools all work on the assumption that students will respond to questions by clicking on an option, which makes the tools easier to develop and the courses easier to design.

Do we mean instructional tutorials delivered for the individual learner? Let’s take the first of these approaches, the self-study tutorial, because that’s what most workplace l&d people associate with the term ‘e-learning’. Live group sessions in a virtual classroom? Collaborative, distance learning like the MOOC described above?

But when we think about page/screen-based, tutorial e-learning, there really are no mass media parallels, unless of course you count business presentations, and in most cases they set a very poor example. We have endless examples from print media and the World Wide Web on which to model our text-based materials.

Should you now set about creating interactive tutorials that cover all the elements of the existing course, handouts and all? A text document, video or podcast is much better suited to this task than a tutorial and, assuming it isn't already available as a web resource, is much easier to put together. I don't think so.

As the authors point out, if you went by the themes of most l&d conferences, blogs and magazines, then you’d believe the classroom was in terminal decline and that self-paced e-learning tutorials were being fast replaced by games, sims, 3D worlds, and all forms of social and collaborative learning, much of it mobile.

What annoys them is instructional e-learning, particularly that sort that aims to provide knowledge, normally in the form of a tutorial.

I’m also beginning to see some changes to the way that your good old e-learning tutorial is presented. Better art direction and much more use of video. Deployment through much friendlier and more usable platforms than your traditional LMS. One of those is the inclusion of interactions that break out of the constraints of isolated self-study.

When behaviour change is required and motivation is high, you need highly-interactive materials, e.g. tutorials, scenarios, sims, but these do not need to be so media rich. When the need for behaviour change is low, but motivation is low, richer/more creative media are required, e.g. the use of video / stories.

The conclusion, ironically, seems to be that you wouldn't start with e-learning - at least not classic e-learning in the CBT tradition, i.e. interactive tutorials that you page through. It follows that we've been having a lot of discussions about where to start and how to get quick results.
