Making Interactivity Count

How do you design self-paced e-learning programs that don't bore people to tears? How do you sustain participants' attention in an e-learning course when they can be checking their email, perusing Facebook, or flying paper airplanes across their cubicle walls? Designers of self-paced e-learning often start with a mound of content handed to them by a well-meaning subject matter expert, and this content is what drives the design-instead of the human beings who actually need to learn something. You need ways to engage and connect with learners in meaningful ways so they successfully absorb the content. In this session, you will see that engaging and connecting is not about designing "clicky-clicky, bling-bling" interactivities that excite and thrill while distracting learners in very nonproductive ways. Instead, you'll explore simple and interactive ways-and lots of examples-of presenting content that sustains a learner's interest, keeps the focus on outcomes and what they need to do, and doesn't blow your budget with high-end ideas that require loads of cash and hours of development time.
