Recently, they have reinforced their suite of eLearning solutions with a collaboration platform known as iSpring Space.

IsEazy’s approach to gamification is by way of knowledge check games. An instructional designer can use these as engaging ways to elicit practice through repetition. The point is, yes, one can just write a few questions as a knowledge check, but that’s not too exciting. Instead, a gamified or microgame experience can be a much better experience as the game gives the user constant feedback of their progress.

Learning Experience Design (LXD) is the creative and intentional process of designing learning experiences for lasting results. The concept of “learning experience” is nothing new, but it’s certainly full of ambiguity today. I mean, 100 years ago, scholars like Dewey, Thorndike and Lindeman gave us many thoughts that challenged institutional educational and learning practices.
This book review is on Evidence-Informed Learning Design: Creating training to improve performance by Mirjam Neelen and Paul A Kirschner (2020) and according to the authors, its purpose is “to help learning professionals at any stage in their careers to focus on the right things, so that they can build a strong knowledge foundation, based on scientific evidence…”. Of course, the mention of the “right things” intrigued me, so I took a shot at reading and reviewing this book.
Learning conferences are the best way to meet people that love the same thing you do for a living. They can also be a great experience of your professional development. However, they can be pricey to foot the bill on your own as most conferences average between $1300 and $1800 per ticket. Most people often attend conferences because they are sponsored by their employer, but what can you do if you employer sucks and doesn’t support this part of your development.
Cascading Style Sheets or CSS is the language used to control the layout and look of web pages. CSS is an essential tool for web design because it makes formatting across multiple webpages really easy. As a learning professional, you would need to know CSS if you want to design your own custom eLearning or […]
Last week I submitted a project for Elearning Heroes’ Challenge #126 which has several video backgrounds. In some of the videos I created a panning and motion illusion using Storyline2. Panning is when a camera moves with the frame creating a motion effect. Panning is best achieve with video editing software like Adobe Premiere Pro or […]
A few days ago I created a PowerPoint slide deck on gamification that I published on SlideShare. However, an animated introduction of the title was created to mimic the game of Tetris as shapes would fall down and form the name of the title. This post discusses the creative process to replicate the same effect […]
One key thing every elearning design should have is an easy-to-follow player. Therefore, your choice of elearning tool should let you customize these settings. Customizing player settings gives you the power to enhance the user interface. Luckily, Articulate Storyline2 has a very easy setup for you to do just that. Changes can be made to remove […]
This week’s Elearning Heroes Challenge #114 highlights the use of zooming and magnification of images with Storyline2 (SL2). I put together a sample which shows an image of London which allows the user to zoom into specific sections for a closer look of the city. The “Zoom Region” feature in SL2 makes the creation of […]
A scenario using First Person Role Play (FPRP) is a great way to engage learners from the start in e-learning courses. If we think of it, the idea of playing a character in e-learning scenarios aligns very well with the notion of adults being self-directed learners. In the gaming industry, games that apply this concept […]
One key advantage of Articulate’s Storyline2(SL2) is the ability to control interactions from a slide master. This makes changes and updates a painless and automated approach which would save you a ton of hours. Slide masters are usually helpful to standardize design elements such as fonts, image placement, formatting, backgrounds, etc. They are essential for […]
ELearning Heroes Challenge #100 is here and it’s all about “Before and After” visual comparisons and contrasts. By the looks of it, we might get 100 responses to the 100th challenge! In this post, I cover a bit of the method behind two slider samples I built for the challenge. The first slider sample was […]
Time is the only commodity we can’t buy, we can only use it or it’s gone. When I’m not defeating elearning evil (that is, preventing ineffective and\or boring learning from happening) I usually develop learning solutions for call center personnel. So, what’s so relevant about that? Well, call center professionals have everything “timed” on their schedules. Therefore, […]
I always enjoy a good ELH Challenge and this week’s challenge #97 offers some great creative concepts for interactive buttons. My submission concept can be described as an animated switch. The interaction happens when the user clicks a round button; then, the button switches from one side of the screen to another on a “U” […]
A little over a week ago, I wrote this LinkedIn post about great FREE image resources for e-learning. Trust me, free images are easy to find in comparison to free audio resources. However, it’s still very feasible to find some great quality audio files for your e-learning projects. Music is ubiquitous on everything our learners […]
Animating images in your elearning project can add some screen movement to give your learners context or grasp their attention to focus on certain area of the screen. Adobe After Effects is a motion graphics and motion picture effects software that allows you to bring still images to life. In this AndragoBlog post we’ll take […]
Recently I was helping a colleague with a development issue where she wanted to control user navigation on a Storyline2 elearning module pending on the completion of viewing a video. The problem was the video resides on another site. So, how can you help the user view the desired video content without leaving the elearning […]
One of Articulate Storyline2’s feature is the slider interaction. The slider is a powerful interaction because you can give the learner real-time outcomes based on the position (step) he or she drags the slider button to. Although you can simulate slider interactions in other authoring tools (usually installing external widgets), nothing compares to the ease-of-use […]
GIFs or Graphic Interchange format images provide you with the ability to animate images or video for use on web sites and even elearning modules. This week’s Elearning Heroes Challenge #83 is about creating 10 GIFs that could be used for a learning course or even to describe the instructional design process. For my sample […]
