Working it

Showing progress

In this week’s e-learning heroes challenge, the task is to use slide numbers, or progress, in e-learning courses. Showing learners where they are in the course, and how much they have to go, is a good way to help them both orient themselves as well as organise their time and plan how and when…

In this week’s e-learning heroes challenge, brave e-learning developers all over the world must battle it out to… naw, just kidding. This week we go mobile!
