Making eLearning Storyboards that Work

Designing Digitally

If you are developing eLearning content for your employees or students, there is something you need to pay more attention to and that is the importance of storyboarding. All great eLearning courses on the internet have one thing in common: they integrate effective storyboarding in the development phase of designing the course. In order for the course to be a success, you need to view the storyboard as the primary foundation of your eLearning course.

Variables: What Are They and What Do They Do?

Association eLearning

Have you ever seen an eLearning course or demo that seemed to know what you were doing? Maybe you entered your name on the first screen and saw it displayed in the course. Perhaps you made a decision early on and a character in a scenario remembered it later. Or maybe the course recommended follow up resources based on the concepts you had trouble with.

7 Ways to Make Better Quizzes for Your Course

LearnDash

Quizzing isn’t just about assessment. It also helps build retention and strengthen recall. Quizzes are an essential component of any online course. And by “quizzes,” I mean something distinctly different from a midterm or final exam. The purpose of exams is usually to assess learner understanding, quizzes can be viewed as more of a study aid—something to help learners practice for exams.

Grab Learner Attention with Your Course Content

LearnDash

Want to cut down on distractions and multitasking during your course? One of the inevitable battles online instructors face lies in retaining learner attention. Teachers in traditional classrooms face this burden too, of course, but in-person classroom experiences provide a more focused learning environment. Learners can drift away, sneak peaks at their smartphones, or attempt to covertly browse the Internet, but few will be so brazen as to do it in an obvious way.

(video) tool of the month: 1 second video apps for blended learning

Joitske Hulsebosch eLearning

This blogpost can be read in Dutch on Ennuonline. Video is an important online trend. The tool of this month is therefore a video tool: the 1 second video app. Video is already important in online marketing, and learning and training follows this trend. I can hardly imagine an online course or MOOC without video. The classic way to produce a learning video is to hire a professional filmmaker ask them to record and edit the video.

Benefits of eLearning: How to Create a Continuous Learning Culture

TOPYX LMS

Research indicates companies that prioritize high-impact learning can show up to three times greater profit growth over a period of about four years.¹ High-impact learning happens naturally in organizations with a continuous learning culture.

Behind the Curtain of a Learning Performance Assessment (LPA) Methodology

Living in Learning

My core point here is straightforward – we have a mandate to treat workforce performance as a continuum from Point-of-Entry (onboarding and 1st learning) to Point-of-Work (sustained performance competency). Therefore, it makes sense to me that any assessment efforts undertaken should include the downstream, post-training PoW; hence, the need for a holistic Learning Performance Assessment (LPA).

The Dearth of Science in Learning Technology

First, I generally resist the ‘let me show you our product and give us your opinion’ That’s free consulting, and a very rude ask!
