Weekly Recap: Avoid an E-Learning Shutdown
Text reform, balanced bullet amendments, learner rights, and repealing the Next Button are just a few of the hot topics for course makers right now. While there’s never a universal design solution that fits everyone’s needs perfectly, the endgame is always the same: improve learner outcomes without overtaxing your learner’s cognitive resources.
That’s why course designers need a support community that reaches across the e-learning aisle to broker creative solutions to cobbled designs, amended lists, and sequestered interactions.
E-Learning Heroes provides free universal help care, with no exclusions for pre-existing course conditions. You get referral-free access to the world’s top course designers, over-the-counter templates, premium help, and an open exchange of ideas and insights for building balanced, active, and healthy courses—and that’s something every designer can agree on.

Love the humor in this post! Lots of great information too, as always. 🙂
One of your best recaps. Love it!
OK, this has got to be the funniest blog post ever for our profession. Mark and I got a kick out of it! Please submit it for a Blog Post award (somewhere).
Great job, David!
To improve learner outcomes, some non-design issues often tax our projects, such as:
– Mismanagement of Scope Creep
– AWOL SMEs
The “Heroes” forums also help with those non-design issues, if a person just needs to “vent” a little. You’ll find in the Community other folks who “get it” and can relate to your non-design issues with your projects.
Kudos, David, on an informative and creative blog post!
