Description

No more boring, ineffective eLearning! It doesn't have to be that way. Build 11 Engaging eLearning Scenarios - Now! presents current and aspiring eLearning designers with instructional design techniques for eLearning development and hands-on projects for how eLearning can and will drive change in your organization. By the end of this course, you will have design ideas that turn common, but ineffective activities into transferrable and memorable training experiences, and you will understand what makes an activity truly effective for on-the-job performance. Break away from the old ways of training! We will be using Articulate Storyline, but you can use any authoring tool you have access to, including PowerPoint with iSpring. Note: this course does not teach how to use Storyline or any other authoring tool! However, I will be more than happy to answer questions about how a Design Challenge was designed. In this course, you will: 1. Be provided with the opportunity to take part in 11 Design Challenges using the interactive and modern eLearning principles you learn in this course. Then, compare your results to the instructor's and other students' projects! 2. Expand your Portfolio as you complete 11 Design Challenges 3. Receive an overview of Agile instructional design techniques to stay current with eLearning trends 4. Explore the principles of effective eLearning design 5. Learn how to think through the process of recognizing an ineffective instructional method, and then improving it to a highly authentic training experience .
