Description
In this webinar, ripe with real-world examples, Ethan Edwards will explore and share design considerations that come together to create what he likes to all “irresistible e-learning” — that is, eLearning that learners are eager to complete and create concrete lasting change. Constraints of authoring tools, media production, instructional design, and learning management must work together to create interactions that always connect meaningfully to the real world, challenge the learner with authentic problems, enhance the physical and intellectual significance of particular tasks, and communicate consequences of learner choices rather than simple scoring or judgment.
In this one-hour webinar you will:
- Examine the four necessary components for Instructional Interactivity
- Evaluate media, authoring, and design constraints on maximizing training effectiveness
- Practice identifying strong components of interactivity
