Effective course promotion doesn’t just rely on flashy ads - but understanding the learner’s journey and using the right tools can make a huge difference. Here’s what we’ve discovered through years of accrediting top training providers: ✔ Clarifying the Learning Journey: Simplify your course structure. Learners need to know what they’ll gain from each step. ✔ Font and Readability: A small tweak to font size and style can significantly improve engagement. Choose fonts that are easy to read digitally. ✔ Showcase Value Early: Learners decide in the first 10 seconds if the course is valuable to them. Highlight outcomes from the start.

Visuals Boost Comprehension and Engagement in E-Learning Stories captivate learners, but let’s not underestimate the power of a great visual. Charts, graphics, and images turn dry information into an engaging and easy-to-digest format. Think less “textbook,” more “TED Talk.” Tips for Using Visuals in E-Learning: 1. Use infographics to explain complex data. 2. Include photos and diagrams to support lessons. 3. Keep visuals clean and uncluttered to maintain focus.

What Are Dialog Layers in Storyline and Why Use Them? 🎄✨     Dialog layers in Storyline overlay the entire browser window and dim other content, ensuring a consistent and accessible navigation experience for all learners, including those using screen readers.     Why Use Dialog Layers? 🎁   - Keep learners focused on specific messages or interactions.   - Prevent engagement with other course elements while active.     How to Add a Dialog Layer:   1- In ‘Slide View’, create or select a layer.   2- Click the ‘Properties’ icon in the Layer Panel.   3- From the ‘Behaviour’ dropdown, choose ‘Present as: Dialog’.     By default, learners can’t click other layers, and you can choose to pause the base layer’s timeline.     Dialog layers are simple yet powerful, perfect for guiding learners and creating a seamless experience. Use them to focus attention, deliver critical information, or add festive flair to your course! 🎄✨ #Accessibility #Storyline #InclusiveDesign #HolidayCheer #eLearning #InstructionalDesign #Storyline #HolidayFun #InteractiveLearning  #FestiveTips #Lightboxes #OL #12DaysOfChristmas  #ProTip

Today's (visual) thoughts. I think from this list, my favorite is the content learners can *take* with them. When I complete a course or training session as a learner, it's very unlikely that I'm going to revisit the original training if I have questions or want to reference something from the session. I don't have the time to scroll and find the right section in the course, or the right spot in the video. But want to know what I would absolutely do? If I had somewhere to take notes and record thoughts and questions during the session, I most likely saved that to my desktop or drive and I WILL reference that! Same goes for infographics or reference guides. These small additions to our trainings take little effort on our part, and can be very beneficial for our audience in the long-run. Or maybe everyone else is revisiting the courses and training videos and bookmarking timestamps and.... maybe.... maybe this is a me problem 🤣 #instructionaldesign #instructionaldesigner #learningdesign

Is your online course struggling to keep learners engaged? Here’s one powerful tip to transform it: Tip: Make Your Course Interactive Action Steps: 1. Incorporate Multimedia: Use videos, infographics, and audio clips to break up text and keep learners interested. Variety in content types keeps the material fresh and engaging. 2. Add Interactive Elements: Include quizzes, polls, and discussion forums to foster participation and active learning. Interaction helps learners retain information and stay involved. 3. Use Real-World Scenarios: Apply theoretical concepts to real-life situations. Case studies, simulations, and practical exercises make learning relevant and exciting. In the video, you’ll see the difference between a boring, static course and a vibrant, interactive one. The choice is clear! Ready to redesign your online program and captivate your audience?

Ever taken an online course and felt confused after a few lessons? Many courses overwhelm learners with too much info, poor structure, or boring content. When a learner doesn’t finish a course, it hurts their progress and the credibility of the creator. This often leaves learners feeling lost, frustrated, and like they didn’t get what they signed up for. As a course designer, I’ve seen how this can affect both learners and businesses. A great online course isn’t just about teaching, it’s about transforming the learner’s experience.  When you build a course that’s clear, engaging, and results-driven, your audience will remember you and your brand will grow.
