The following e-learning example is from a client of mine and the original PowerPoint presentation was about 15-20 slides. It  had intricate details about drug hierarchy, drug definitions, drug # Identifiers and so on.  Probably not the most interesting subject for most us. However, that’s not the point,  my client had needs and requested the following, wanted the material to become more engaging, small file size for e-mail purposes, more interesting with interaction and wanted to eliminate paper distribution. In other, words they wanted some e-learning material.

I looked at the original slides and then from my perspective circled what I thought were the main points or objectives  from each slide.  By thinning out the message and by keeping the main ideas intact, this allowed me to maintain focus on the final objective.  The final output had to be maintained. After several brief consultations with my client, we were able to narrow it all down and kept my client satisfied.

 My proposed solution to meet the needs of my client:

Solution: Compile the data onto one page, then create an interactive e-learning module by using Articulate Engage, make the user take control of their own interactions and peek their curiosity.  I did not need to do much convincing since my client had seen Articulate before from previous projects.  With the green light given, I was able to create a new project  and the design output on my end was about 30 minutes.

The end result proved to be a simple interaction piece where the target audience could click, read and follow in a non-linear or linear fashion (They control where they want to go).  The short training module was then sent via e-mail to respective users,  posted on their intranet and on then on their Learning Management System (LMS).

Tips: Keep it simple, keep it short, make it fun, make them interested.
