Example: Stock room organizing training for a shoe store. Starts as you are patrolling a street and you have to identify what to pay attention to (graffiti etc.) The feedback is a mix of intrinsic and extrinsic, which maybe is necessary but does feel like it breaks the “flow&# of the game. Three different levels like a real game.

The grinning woman eating a salad; the perfectly multicultural meeting; the man with a headset: these are the standards for stock photography.

It’s better to have your own assets saved somewhere for consistent reuse than having everyone run off to keep buying stock photos or copy-pasting from Google image search every time they make a presentation or course. Remember, attention spans are not what they used to be. Start keeping assets (such as videos, graphics, etc.)

Attention spans are too short, and you might lose your audience right at the start. If you have an image subscription, well and good, else look out for a royalty free stock library like Pexels and Pixabay. They are my favorite image libraries for free stock photos. Ditch the Agenda.

Dated stock photos can make your course look old and out of touch, and can subtly suggest to learners that it isn’t as trustworthy. Doing so will help learners recognize key information points, and pay closer attention when something is formatted a certain way. Just as importantly, it’s worthwhile to invest in attractive images.

Movement Over Static: The psychology of learners is such that if they are left staring at static images for too long, their attention tends to “drift,” especially if the presenter is not engaging enough. It is great to produce shock-giving videos to get learners’ attention. Recommendation: Consider filming in an informal setting.

With ethics training, that worst case scenario might be a scandal that causes a company’s stock to drop.
