Content, Content (Not To Mention Content) … How To Best Design & Deliver It<br />
#260: Know Your Learner, Give Them Choice<br />
Research learners' needs and attitudes in advance as much as possible, don't assume that "one size fits all." Design in<br />
bite-sized chunks that can be "driven by the learner". Build in interactivity (and no, pressing the "next" button doesn't count<br />
as interactivity!. Allow learners choice - choice of media, learning styles, and levels of learning. And build in fun!<br />

#261: Design Learning Like Magazines<br />
Linear learning, while necessary in a standup classroom environment, needs to be avoided if at all possible<br />
in e-Learning. Consider the different ways individuals read a magazine. Some start reading at the front,<br />
some at the back, some in the middle. If they get into something they don't understand because they<br />
skipped around, they can go to the section which contains the information.<br />

#262: Anticipate The Questions<br />
When using tools to create what is commonly known as "multimedia", try to get the person/character/whatever to<br />
ask the questions you always get in the real classroom environment. And of course supply the answer.<br />

#263: Clear Expectations = No Surprises<br />
Always design your training to the lowest common denominator of your students. This applies to the technology<br />
they are able to access, the level of skill they possess and the ability they have. Make your expectations clear at<br />
the beginning, so that there are no surprises, and set the standard for the technology they will be required to have<br />
access to as well, so that if they are unable to get it, or use it, they will at least be aware that they need it. A course<br />
that I am taking used an assumption that everyone would be able to download freebies from the Internet. I'm doing<br />
the course from a work machine, as it relates to my job, but our firewall is so strict, that we are unable to download<br />
anything. Therefore, I am missing some audio pieces, and some animations. I was also unable to complete part<br />
of an assignment around building an animation. But there was no mention of needing the capability to do this or to<br />
be able to download in the course description.<br />

#264: ENHANCE RETENTION Of Text Reading<br />
In course content text, many people already "bold" or "capitalize" the KEY WORDS or phrases. To<br />
IMPROVE RETENTION, however, what we do sometimes is to REPEAT these key words at the BOTTOM<br />
OF THE PAGE just before the "next page" button. It's quick, easy, and we have found it to be an effective<br />
method of driving key points into the reader's head.<br />

#265: Turn Up The Volume<br />
Make your learning come alive - ramp up the engagement to make it game-like!<br />

#266: Don't Get Carried Away - Use Appropriate Examples<br />
Create a context for the learning by anchoring it in a real-world environment. Use authentic activities -<br />
don't create a bingo game for sales training.<br />
