'Did you know only 42% of employees really know what their company’s trying to achieve?

'Every elearning course uses visuals as a way of presenting content. This can include charts, inforgraphics, characters, and everything in between. Use of visuals in elearning is a natural way to break up the monotony of reading through bullet-points of text. All that said, there is a right way and a wrong way to use visuals in elearning. Simply inserting a random picture isn’t going to make your course more effective.

'Any seasoned instructional designer will tell you that elearning development cannot be approached in the same manner across multiple courses – even if the content is identical.
