Yawn Proof Your eLearning: Simple Strategies and Techniques to Design More Engaging eLearning without Busting the Bank
A lot of eLearning gets a bad rap, and rightly so – screen after screen of text bullets that dump knowledge without providing context or providing any meaningful connection into the material. In this session, we’ll explore effective ways of making your eLearning programs more engaging through simple tips like more human writing tone and better questions. We’ll look at loads of examples of eLearning courses so you can walk away with fresh ideas that you can put into action right away.
