Working it
Welcome 2017! After a lovely Christmas break and a few days at the beach, I decided to come back to the last E-learning Heroes challenge of 2016: Add a Little Greenery to Your Next Course with Pantone’s Color of the Year. Last year for the Pantone challenge I combined the three most recent Pantone Color…
Countdown timers in e-learning It’s not uncommon to see race-against-the-clock type interactions in e-learning. Sometimes in real situations we need to be able to do things quickly. A little while ago I built e-learning targeted at supermarket cashiers, and one of the skills we had to improve was checkout speed. Timers in this project…
Elearning challenge #147 asked that we share an accordion interaction. I was pushed for time, so decided to re-work an existing one. Accordion interactions are pretty simple, but great for when you have a lot of related information and you want to keep it all on the same slide. I chose a muted colour…
E-learning that rocks I’ve been busy so haven’t had heaps of time to participate in Dave Anderson’s weekly e-learning challenges lately. However, when I saw the topic for this week, I simply could not resist: E-Learning Röck Band Challenge! The task is “to design an interactive graphic or micro site for your (fictitious) e-learning…
Board games Sure, I like computer games—but I’ve always been a huge fan of board games. Give me a night playing Taboo or Trivial Pursuit, and I’m happy.I’m also a big fan of games for learning, so when Dave Anderson set the challenge to create a board game for e-learning, I was sold. Family…
Blurred images I remember the not-so-good-‘ol days pre-digital cameras when you had to aim really carefully and make sure no one was moving to get a good photograph without any blur. Those days are well and truly over, with happy snaps being taken 24/7, left, right and centre. Blurred pic? No worries, there’s a…
Create-your-own-challenge I love movies. When I watch a movie at home I inevitably have a sketch pad with me so I can sketch out visual designs and aesthetics I like. I make notes about how I could use a certain effect or shot, or whatever it is, in e-learning. So, when David Anderson set…
If you read this blog, you’ll know that I’ve been participating in the E-learning heroes challenges for a while now. Back in the day when I was less consistent with my efforts, I started working on Challenge #55 How to survive a zombie apocalypse. But, as it happens, work and life got in the…
The beauty of rapid e-learning authoring tools, such as Articulate Storyline2, is that you can turn good content into an interactive e-learning within minutes. Chock full of awesome built-in functions and features, Storyline2 makes it very quick to build different types of interactive content, quizzes and navigation. One advantage that the Articulate product provides is the Storyline2 Player.…
Last week’s e-learning heroes challenge was all about zooming images in e-learning. Now, I love desserts. I love to make them, I love to share them, I love to eat them. So, for this challenge I decided I’d create a desserts menu in Storyline. Design I started with a wooden background simulating a tabletop and…
