How to Assure the Quality of e-Learning There is so much e-Learning now being developed by so many different methods and presented in so many different ways. It seems that in some cases there is less and less time to produce the learning and in others there is a determination to be first with the latest development or to prove that e-Learning really can be cheaper than face to face. Of course in many cases e-Learning has become the way to present 'compliance' training. Perhaps it isn't any wonder that e-Learning has gained a certain reputation for drop-out rates and boredom factors. What skills and knowledge will enable people to assure the quality of e-Learning? http://elearningindustry.com/how-to-assure-the-quality-of-e-learning

Interactive training videos are a form of media that eLearning can borrow from marketing. Interactive videos gained popularity in sales and marketing when Flash was a popular multimedia software platform to create digital media solutions. 

In this blog, we will explore how interactive videos can make your training more engaging.

What Is Interactive Training Video?
An Interactive training video is a multimedia recording that can support user interactions. Users can interact with the content, navigate the storyline, reveal their choices, etc. 

Interactive Training Video Vs. Linear Video
Linear video is the traditional form and most of us are familiar with it. The user can select play, pause, rewind, and fast forward the content in this type of video. On the other hand, an interactive training video allows the user to click, drag, scroll, swipe, and hover over the content revealing more details with each interaction. 

Functionalities Of Interactive Videos 
The most commonly used functionalities in interactive videos are:

Branching: It allows user control and personalizes the learning by allowing different paths and skipping irrelevant content. 
Click and reveal: It refers to clickable content which reveals more details as the learner progresses.
Hotspots: These are clickable areas within a video, which reveal a separate web page or content within the video. 
360-degree view: It allows the learners to get a 360-degree view of the object on the screen.
Forms: You can insert forms within the video, which allow the collection of user data.
Quizzes: Quizzes can be built into the video to deliver assessments and personalized results to the learner.  
These interactivities make viewing the videos an engaging experience. However, a great interactive video must be designed with the end-user in mind, and interactivity should be used only to enhance the user experience

While Western learning styles have not changed significantly since the turn of the twenty first century, the increased use of technological tools have. Like most New Technology evangelist, e-learning developers are quick to adapt new tool sets which help to promote content development and delivery of curricula. We are excited when tablets become lighter, faster, and the content integration is all but seamless. However what about the learners themselves? Do they have access to the plethora of tools? Is this new media and curricula developed to support all styles of learning, from the Visual to the Kinesthetic? Are we developing curricula for Adult learners, transitioning from the industries which were more task oriented, based on the assembly line, to one's which require a more intuitive and technological input.

Differentiating Leadership Development - Design Recommendations for Leadership Development Executive leadership development shares similarities with other learning programs. For example, it must direct itself to the specific needs of its audience, and learner reflection is important to increase retention for on-the-job application. For the senior learner, application of knowledge and skills is tantamount to success of their company. A support structure should be in place with regular reminders to help the senior leader apply new knowledge and behaviors in how they lead to affect change http://elearningindustry.com/differentiating-leadership-development-design-recommendations-for-leadership-development

6 Secrets for Quick and Cost-Effective e-Learning Development Are you developing an e-Learning course on a tight budget? Do you have a limited amount of time to create a course that will still dazzle your learners? If you're nodding your head yes, then you're not alone. http://elearningindustry.com/6-secrets-for-quick-and-cost-effective-e-learning-development

The Agile Approach to Learning Game Design Corporate learning professionals, instructional designers, trainers and eLearning pros… listen up. I want to let you in on a little secret: Game-based learning requires a whole new approach to learning design. It's not the same as eLearning development, and it's definitely not a set of skills you can pick up at an in-service day. The ADDIE approach to learning and development simply does not work with games. You have to go Agile instead. http://elearningindustry.com/the-agile-approach-to-learning-game-design

A New Way to Enable Today's Experts and Learners Typical learning systems tend to focus on the development of traditional training, deployment of learning content, and logistics of learning events. However, they do little to capture and retain valuable business knowledge. For many of today's businesses, this knowledge is not just about how to conduct transactions but how, when, and why to utilize these transactions within their business process. It's also about employees being able to make the best decisions and being able to apply operational talents and expertise to the ultimate practice of the business - satisfying and delighting customers and constituents. http://elearningindustry.com/subjects/companies/item/419-new-way-experts-learners-learning-training

One of the greatest struggles I see with Instructional Designers is trying decide which rapid authoring tool to purchase and spend their limited time learning. Generally, it's a choice between Articulate, Captivate and Camtasia Studio with Camtasia running a distant third (unless software demos make up the bulk of the training). In the past I would have agreed that Camtasia would not have been my first choice for true e-learning but with the two most recent releases of this software I've found it to be the perfect tool for not just software demos but also soft skills and compliance training. If you'd like to see some of the e-learning I've developed with Camtasia Studio over the past couple of years Please join me, Camtasia specialist Lon Naylor and Elearningindustry.com/ site founder Christopher Pappas on Sept 25th for a free Webinar called "Camtasia Studio 8 E-learning Case Studies".

eLearning 101 Part 3: Development Roles This section includes the roles and responsibilities that are included during the development process. Some roles are mandatory during any course development process, while other roles may be optional depending on the needs of the course. All roles should be identified and assigned at the beginning of the project. Every person involved in the project should be notified at the beginning of the project of his or her role. Note: one person may have multiple roles. It is a good standard of practice to form a committee to identify the roles and expectations of each team member and to have each person accept their role in writing to ensure they understand the requirements of the position. See communication log example, free download at the bottom of the article.
