11. ©2014 MFMER | slide-11 Level 1 Content containing pages, text, graphics, perhaps simple audio, perhaps simple video, test questions. NOTE: PowerPoint-to-eLearning often falls into this category. Basically pages with assessment. Rapid Development = Simple Content Average Development Advanced, Complex Development = increase complexity, more media production.

13. ©2014 MFMER | slide-13 Level 2 Content containing Level 1 eLearning content plus 25% (or more) interactive exercises, allowing learners to perform virtual "try it" exercises, liberal use of multimedia (audio, video, and animations). Rapid Development = development through templated interactions, simple animation, efficient or low-end media production Average Development Advanced, Complex Development = advanced and custom interactions, embedded simulation activities and lots of media

15. ©2014 MFMER | slide-15 Level 3 Content containing highly interactive, possibly simulation or serious game-based, use of avatars, custom interactions, award-winning caliber courseware. Rapid Development = development through templated interactions, templated games and simulations, or using efficient simulation development practices Average Development Advanced, Complex Development = advanced learning simulations and games, extensive media production
