Skilled Instructional Designers are similar to Master Chefs! They cook the dish of quality eLearning in all formats – custom eLearning, rapid eLearning, mobile learning or microlearning. Whichever may be the eLearning format, the core ingredients they use determine the learner’s appetite for learning. Keeping these ingredients handy can help instructional designers create effective eLearning content that promotes in-depth learning which brings behavioral changes as well as improves on-job performance.
There’s no space for bad eLearning design.
(Don’t let your learners struggle to retain the information. It’s a sin.)
As a committed eLearning professional, it’s high time to give your learners a break from the monotonous or traditional eLearning. Let the custom eLearning you create be grilled, stuffy and spicy enough to grab and hold learner’s attention throughout the eLearning courseware.
Let’s now explore the 4 core ingredients that add the blended flavor of instructional design and visual design to eLearning Content Development.
1. Set the Context with a Compelling Intro
Let the first 60 seconds of your eLearning course, the introduction part, be engaging, inviting and interesting. Introduction in eLearning is the most essential part of an eLearning course and can’t be ignored. A clear and engaging eLearning course introduction:
Draws learner’s attention and sets the tone for the entire eLearning course
Provides the rationale and purpose behind the course
Gives a sneak peek into course content – what they are going to learn
In simple terms, it should be a short promotional teaser power-packed with all the elements that answers the learner’s question – “What’s in it for me?”
A Compelling Intro Could Be…
An informative title, a relevant image, a compelling story, a video/audio excerpt from industry experts, or a shocking statistic, followed by appealing learning objectives.
