A Simple Way to Create 360° Interactions in E-Learning
May 17th, 2023
There are a lot of really cool things you can do with 360° images in e-learning. You can see some examples here.
However, I've chatted with a lot of people and the single biggest challenge for them is getting usable images.
In most cases, 360° image interactions are exploratory and based on real-world context. In those case, stock imagery doesn't work. This requires that the course author have a camera or other means to craft the images. However, it doesn't mean you can't create an interaction using stock 360° ...
Many e-learning developers create multiple courses, but these courses are often very similar in content. Instead of building different courses, they are essentially building the same course repeatedly.
A job seeker expressed their desire to move away from creating basic click-and-read e-learning content and work on courses that have a more significant impact. However, they were unsure of which organizations are producing these types of courses and where to look.
The main question then becomes: where can you find the best e-learning courses? I have some brief thoughts ...
I saw this video clip the other day on Instagram about how comedian and teacher, Leslie Robinson,

There are times we're asked to work on projects where the client's ideas are wrong or what they want to do won't produce the results they want. This is a common problem in our industry and the reason a lot of e-learning courses (and training programs for that matter) are ineffective.
The challenge is figuring out how to keep the customer happy and get the right product out the door.
Here are three quick tips to move you in the right direction.

When it comes to courses, there are two key stakeholders: the person who commissions the course and the person who consumes it. Each of these stakeholders has their own objectives and needs for the course, and ensuring that these are met can be challenging.
For the person who commissions the course, their objectives will usually be closely aligned with their organization’s goals. However, these objectives may not always be in alignment with the needs of the learner. And for the person consuming the course, it’s important that ...
Like many of you, I'm not a big fan of meetings because most of them tend to be presentations. The entire time I'm thinking, "Why didn't they just record a presentation and send that out rather than have a bunch of people sit in a meeting with no expectations or action items? Seems like a big waste of time."
We've all been in those meetings. And we don't like them. Why?
Because while on the surface the purpose of the meeting seems meaningful, for most attendees the meetings are largely ...
Much of online training is content that's created with an e-learning authoring tool and positioned as e-learning courses. However, these courses aren't necessarily the best at getting people to learn. I know there are some in our industry who'll stand on their soap boxes and tell everyone how that's not real e-learning in the first place. They're free to do that, but they're wrong.
It's real e-learning, it just may not be complete e-learning. It all depends on the course objectives.

Copying text from images comes in handy especially when updating old e-learning courses. Sometimes you may not have the source file and have to work for older published content. In those cases, do a screen grab of the course and then extract the text from the image. Then copy and paste the text into the application you use to build your e-learning courses.
How to Copy Text from Images
You may already have some applications that can extract the image. Here are a couple of common ones:

As a steward of an organization's e-learning resources, it's essential to make decisions that improve the bottom line. Aligning e-learning courses to the organization's performance goals is key to ensuring positive results.
However, there are a number of other factors to consider when building out courses, such as cost and time savings. E-learning courses can reduce the cost incurred for facilitated classroom training, as well as increase accessibility for those who can't attend scheduled training. Additionally, a great e-learning program can provide a return-on-investment to justify its presence ...
I get a lot of questions from organizations that are at the beginning of their e-learning journey and not quite sure how to get started. The following tips are three key considerations to get your program moving in the right direction.
What Type of Course Are You Building?
I like to keep things simple. Generally, there are two types of courses that get built: explainer and performance.
