When we decide to create an eLearning module for students or adult learners we need to ensure that the content is engaging and will keep the learner’s attention. By that I mean you need to use images, audio, video and interactions to keep the learner engaged and wanting to finish the module. There is a difference in finishing the module and finishing the module and acquiring new information that can be used later for the learner.
Microlearning isn’t just a way to design new learning; it can be a way to revitalize existing content too. Join Margie Meacham for a webinar breaking down the neuroscience behind microlearning, and providing a step-by-step method for reviewing and converting existing content.
learn about the seven quality tools which are check-sheets, histograms, scatter diagrams, stratification, control charts, fishbone analysis and pareto diagrams.
This module provides a brief overview of the seven basic quality tools. It also presents some important discussions on its history and achievements through it. The module also covers some of the seven quality tools in detail. The tools covered in detail are Check-sheets, Histograms and Scatter diagrams.
This module explains the remaining seven quality tools with a brief discussion. It also covers the remaining seven quality in detail. The tools covered in detail are Stratification, Control Charts, Fishbone Diagrams and Pareto Analysis.
Before launching your training module, it’s critical that you test it on a sample audience and generate feedback from other stakeholders. Testing will help to identify any potential snags or gaps in the training that may need addressing before it’s pushed out to your intended audience. Consult your Subject Matter Experts again at this point who can advise on any additional content to include or where existing content can be improved.
A training module is a segment of an overall elearning course that focuses on a specific topic or objective. Think of it like a chapter of a book. Each training module (or chapter) acts as a step in a learner’s journey, each time edging closer to completing the overall course.
Microlearning is where topics are broken down into short, bitesize training modules, allowing for greater flexibility and higher learner engagement. It can be a useful format for making large complex topics into easier-to-consume chunks of information.
Utilizing quiz modules within your elearning course can inject an element of fun and transform potentially boring content into an engaging gaming experience. Quizzes allow learners to put their knowledge to the test and build on their performance throughout the training.
Scenario based learning allows the learner to explore different situations and reflect on the actions they would take and the impact this would have.
Personalized training modules use branching scenarios to personalize the content, based on the responses of the user. It’s an effective way to ensure that your content is tailored to different individuals and is relevant and useful to them.
Video is one of the most engaging training module types and great for how-to type content. Video is also an effective medium for conveying stories and evoking emotion, which can make it a good option for HR-related training.
So, basic training courses may include audio, video, text and graphics, and learners participate in activities that require them to click, press hotspots or drag and drop.
Kitaboo is a cloud-based platform to create, deliver & track mobile-first interactive training content.
As the name suggests, interactive training is a form of training, in which learners learn by doing and are, therefore, active participants in the knowledge gaining process rather than passive absorbers of information. Interactive training is not just about sitting back, watching videos or presentations, and clicking the next button. Rather it involves problem-solving, analyzing scenarios and real-life decision-making. With interactive learning, learners gain new knowledge and at the same time, sharpen their critical, analytical and creative skills.
Use interactive 360° videos and images to immerse the learners in the course, for instance, you can have videos that walk them through actual locations to familiarize them with the environment in which they will be working or how they would have to perform a particular task.
Now that you know how to create interactive training modules, you may still wonder, is it as easy as it sounds? The answer is yes. With accessible technology, you can easily create immersive, engaging and highly interactive training modules that pass control of the learning to the learners. You need a right combination of hardware and software, and of course, a whole lot of creativity to create such courses. However, if you are short on time and wish to focus on your core areas, you may outsource your requirements to eLearning course development companies to create bespoke interactive training modules which can be delivered using a learning management system or a learning experience platform.
Fortunately, developing interactive online training modules has become more manageable with the availability of online tools. In this article, we provide a step-by-step guide to creating interactive training modules. But first let’s look at some interactive training essentials.
Using a consistent structure to your modules helps students learn the flow of the course and can help them with time management.
Content is organized into modules using the Content Tool. Content items are referred to as ‘topics’. Modules can contain as much or as little content as needed, and one or more sub-modules. Each iCollege course will likely have many modules.
