3 Methods to instantly kill the efficacy of online learning -

Mar 23, 2022

1. Poor Cosmetics

It isn't wise to look at a book solely by its cover... But you do it every day. If your course is like powerpoint-style presentations the effectiveness of your class is in danger. The corporate arena as well as educational settings are suffering from "death-by-powerpoint" every single day. One of the worst things one could do is spend hours advancing slides using"a "player" in lieu of Microsoft PowerPoint. This is a potential danger for any developer who uses Articulate or SNAP by Lectora, or any other plugin. If you do decide to employ them, ensure that you have some type of animated animation as well as a strategic use of flash elements.

2. Making Transition Based on Assumptions

One time, I viewed the online course offered by a colleague, ensuring that the content was logical, as well as the learning flow. The content was on point, certainly thanks to the minutes spent talking to SMEs and laying out the process of the business. It wasn't that poor, as each lecture and subject could be presented with a nice chronological order. What was the problem? Changes. My colleague was guilty of jump from one subject and then the next, without making an logical connection. Most of the time there was nothing more than one or two sentences describing what the reader had been studying and the topic to be discussed the next time (and the reason for it). Simple answer to a huge problem. If the class were used throughout the students could be frustrated since the material flow was not properly linked.

3. Consistency

This is a fantastic one, and could be the largest among all. It is applicable to both the look and feel of the course as well as the contents. If your course isn't uniform with either one of these aspects, people will not have confidence in your details. Some of the most inconsistencies with courses include:

  • In one case, and then employing the full form of the acronym a different.
  • E-Learning, eLearning, and e-Learning or the term "e-learning ... If you're using the term that starts with an underscore ensure your use of it in exactly the identical way.
  • Bullet point font colors change
  • The font size is able to change.
  • The animations with the same thing are distinct
  • The content of the summary can be structured in different methods for various classes.
  • Course flow (pick the instructional style that you'll stick to throughout all of your lessons)

I'm sure there are several other predators of the course out there (heck I'm thinking of three others right now... Maybe it's the right time to create a blog post) These three are among most common and the easiest to fix when it comes to development.
