      How many times have we attended this kind of training? I am hearing a lot about PD, but in reality, this applies to all facets of training. We find disengaged learners, and more importantly, we ourselves are disengaged from the process. As the author stated, we then throw more and more tricks at them. Click this, see that, play this...and the real training and learning that needs to take place does not happen. How many of you have experienced this in training sessions?
  • While relevance doesn’t equate to interactivity, it does equate to an engaged learner. And an engaged learner is more apt to learn and not be dependent on interactive gimmicks (which is what we usually start with when we try to make the course interactive).

      Story of my life. My job includes very linear information that most students have already been doing for years. We generally do updates to existing content because we need to comply with some regulatory requirement. It can be frustrating and difficult. So, when you are faced with this element, as a designer, what do you do? How do you turn the experience into something more positive and beneficial to those around you?

      How does the use of click and explore functionality strike you as an instructional designer and developer? Is this a viable tool? Does your content lend itself to this type of thing? I do tend to agree that pull information is sometimes more effective than pushing it out. In general, we push out information in all of our courses, but when I design, I find that I like to engage the learner and make him or her wonder what is around the next button click. This just seems to work for me. 
  • Unfortunately most of the elearning courses I see are linear and not very interactive. Linear isn’t bad on its own. Sometimes it’s preferable to get the information in a simple linear process. But what tends to make the linear course unbearable is when the course navigation is locked. And we tend to lock it because we’re worried that the “learner will not get all of the information.”
  • Relevant content is good and mixing it with screens that allows people to click and explore helps. But probably the single biggest thing you can do to transition from non-interactive to interactive elearning is craft an environment where the learner has to pull information in rather than us push information out.

    This is one of the most useful sites on the internet. Articulate is a rapid authoring software suite, but it also has one of the most engaged communities doing amazing things with e-learning. I highly recommend their site and the content within.
