28. Techniques What must the learner do differently? Thinking like a learner 20 minutes modules Pareto principle (80/20 rule) Categorising content Refresh material Incremental learning path

29. Gagne's events of instruction (Traditional) 1.Gaining attention 2.Informing the learner of the objective 3.Stimulating recall of prerequisite learning 4.Presenting new material 5.Providing learning guidance 6.Eliciting performance 7.Providing feedback about correctness 8.Assessing performance 9.Enhancing retention and recall Learning Models Get attention Set Direction Present information Examples and practices Summarise Assess and Support Rapid http://www.viddler.com/explore/atlanticlink/videos/3/

30. Script Writing Rapid e-Learners are impatient Short lines, short sentences and one idea per paragraph Use the active voice, with actions at the start of the sentences Consistent use of terminology and instructions Tell stories to aid retention Reduce text with pictures, audio, graphs and flow charts http://www.viddler.com/explore/atlanticlink/videos/3/

31. 3. Creating your Course Use the outline and the interactive elements as the basis of the course. – Subject areas are converted to chapters. – Topics are converted to bullet pages. – Interactive elements, quizzes, links, and graphics, animation, audio, video make your course interesting.

32. Graphic Design Consistent colour Consistent layout Consistent behaviour White space is fine A simple acronym –C ontrast –R epetition –A lignment –P ositioning http://www.viddler.com/explore/atlanticlink/videos/3/

33. Template creation Reusable Robust Relevant Intuitive http://www.viddler.com/explore/atlanticlink/videos/3/
