Here’s Why There’s Nothing Wrong with Click & Read E-Learning
November 17th, 2020
A lot of people ask about building interactive e-learning and usually are dismissive of "click and read" e-learning. It's easy to do that because most e-learning is boring and not very engaging. Often those courses are screen after screen of content with endless next buttons. And because of this, "click and read" gets a bad name.
Let's unpack this a bit.
Content is content. We read books, articles, and blog posts. We listen to podcasts and radio. We watch television and videos. Most of this is linear content with little ...

How do I create e-learning courses that are engaging and not boring?
This is the number one question I get from rapid e-learning developers. As I ask clarifying questions, I usually get something to this effect, "I don't want click-and-read courses. Instead, I want to use more branching."
To me this reveals some confusion about designing e-learning courses. In this post, we'll explore if branches are really the magic solution to keep your learners ...

Many e-learning designers are challenged because they don’t often build accessible e-learning courses. So, they’re not sure 
One way to speed up production in your e-learning course design is to use themed slides. You can create robust and visually varied templates like the ones you get in 
Templates offer a lot of value and power in your e-learning course design. They help keep things consistent, provide a good starting structure, and they make it easy to swap and replace theme elements.
The main benefit of a template is saving time. But templates come with constraints and when attempting to customize them you may be robbed of the time saved. This is something I see all the time when working with e-learning developers.
To keep things simple, I like to consider templates from two perspectives.
Option 1: The E-Learning Template ...
In an ideal world, you create an e-learning course, publish it, and put it online. And everything works perfectly.
The reality is that there are many variables between the technology and the individual users and how they access the courses. And these variables can create issues which make it a challenge to troubleshoot e-learning courses when problems arise.
