Designing effective eLearning presents myriad challenges: It has to include the right content, delivered in a way that makes sense to the learners. It has to be accessible and easy to use. Flare Learning has offered tips and techniques to help guide your eLearning team through various aspects of online training design and development. Here are some of our favorite and most popular topics.

1. Leverage publishing options to get more out of your SCORM courses

Many eLearning designers and developers do not realize how easy it is to use SCORM courses outside of the LMS. Learn about additional options that can open up new ways for learners to access and use training.

2. Design effective SCORM courses

The best course content can’t effectively train learners or change their behavior if they can’t use it easily. SCORM course design, from the look and feel to the use of interactivities and graphics, has a huge impact on learners.

3. Work some magic in your course authoring

Your organization can further boost the effectiveness of your SCORM courses with a little Storyline magic. Follow these tips to create engaging and fun online training.

4. Relevant content starts with your SMEs

Ensuring effective collaboration with your subject-matter experts makes the eLearning designer’s job easier. It also means that the training you provide is complete, accurate, and relevant. Follow these guidelines to build stronger, more collaborative relationships with SMEs.

5. Get off to a great start as a new instructional designer

6. Don’t neglect visual design when creating effective eLearning

Extend your eLearning design to the visual design to ensure that learners can easily navigate and use their online training. It’s easy to get so focused on getting the content right that you lose sight of the visual elements. These tips will help you stay focused. 

7. Dig in deeper to design better eLearning
