The Art of Simplification in eLearning Design eLearning courses are designed for the benefit of students and not to bombard them with irrelevant information. Relevant information is necessary, but if you exceed a human’s brain capacity to understand and retain all the information, then all the learning goes to waste. Designers often ask how they can improve the quality of their eLearning content and make them more engaging. What can they do? Stick to one of design's timeless rules: “keep it simple” . Applying the principle of simplicity in eLearning means relaying information through the simplest means possible. Keeping it simple can be an art. 1) Know Your Audience The importance of understanding the target audience cannot be stressed enough. 2) Focus On the Essentials Remeber what Dieter Rams said? This is perhaps the most important step for any eLearning developer. Tip: Asking the right questions to your SME will help you focus on what's important and leave out the "nice-to-have" information. 3) Use Plenty of White Space
How NOT to Design a MOOC: The Disaster at Coursera and How to Fix it I don’t usually like to title a post with negative connotations, but there is no way to put a positive spin on my experience with the MOOC I’m enrolled in through Coursera, Fundamentals of Online Education: Planning and Application. The course so far is a disaster, ‘a mess’ as numerous students have called it. Ironically, the learning outcome of the course is to create our own online course. To be fair, there are some good points to the course, but there are significant factors contributing to a frustrating course experience for students, myself included. Group Chaos There are three key factors contributing to this course calamity and all link to the group assignment. The first, a ‘technical glitch’ was big enough to cause one of Google’s servers to crash. The course started Monday, January 28, 2013 and problems began on day one when participants were instructed to ‘join a group’. What happens When Group Work Goes Haywire This course will be collaborative in nature. Like this:
Webdesign, ergonomie web, graphisme et tendances - ikomeo Design - ikomeo Your Ticket to Great Instructional Design Instructional design is certainly not an easy business. Having been in the learning, training and development industry for more than 27 years, I can assertively say so. Instructional designers shoulder the important responsibility of sugar-coating the critical learning content in such a manner that training becomes not just a mandatory activity, but something that employees love. Now how do you do that? At the heart of it lies a thorough understanding of the employees who are going to take up this eLearning course. Any instructional design process will typically consist of a mix of text, graphics, audio, video and animated elements. Establish ExpectationsNobody likes to shoot in the dark.

Compte personnel de formation (CPF) : mode d’emploi Qu’est-ce que le compte personnel de formation (CPF) ? Depuis le 1er janvier 2015, le CPF remplace le DIF. Il s’agit d’un compte, qui suit chaque individu tout au long de sa carrière, de son entrée sur le marché du travail à sa retraite. A combien d’heure de formation le CPF donne-t-il droit ? Le CPF permet de capitaliser 24 heures de formation par an (voire plus selon les conventions collectives de certains secteurs). Que se passe-t-il quand un salarié quitte son entreprise ? Le compte personnel de formation suit le salarié tout au long de sa carrière. Si le salarié se retrouve au chômage, il ne cotise plus sur son CPF, mais il peut justement utiliser ses heures pour monter en compétences et retrouver plus facilement un emploi. Qui décide d’utiliser le CPF (quand on est salarié) ? Contrairement au DIF, où l'entreprise avait un droit de regard sur le contenu de la formation choisie par son salarié, avec le CPF, celui-ci est beaucoup plus indépendant :

Should an Instructional Designer Have an Advanced Degree? As the field of eLearning continues to grow, so does the demand for instructional designers. If you look at job listings for many corporations, the listing specifies that they are seeking a qualified applicant who has an advanced degree. Is it necessary for someone to have a graduate degree in order to design quality training courses? Some might argue that having an advanced degree in instructional design indicates that a person is qualified to design eLearning content in a manner that is most effective. Others may say that life experience is the best teacher one could ever hope to have. Other Perspectives Regardless of which side of this debate you find yourself, the discussion is missing a critical element. We've all also seen situations where the person who does a terrific job in the office, simply has no skills when it comes to teaching. Which to Choose? For lack of a fully convincing argument on either side, it might be best to simply choose the best candidate for the job.

Présentation site web by Quentin Faivre on Prezi 9 Tips To Improve Online Learners’ Engagement With the coming of Internet, the way learning is imparted has undergone a drastic change. It is no longer limited to teachers giving lessons to the students physically located in front of them in the classrooms. Now they can teach students living in far off places through web based learning and educational materials. This has led to the proliferation of various kinds of online materials devised for students, working professionals, and others who want to acquire new skills and knowledge. But teaching students physically present in a class is quite different from teaching individuals located in far away locations. The most online learners do not have a teacher at their place to explain things to them. Their problem magnifies even more when teachers and professionals designing online courses do not give due attention to making things simple for them. Removing excess image, text, and graphics.Some online learning courses are stuffed with too many images, text, links, and graphics.
