Hand-Drawn E-Learning
E-Learning Challenge #41: Challenge | Recap
This week challenge asked course designers to imagine a day without technology (Gasp!) and create an emergency response "course" using only pen and paper. Sound impossible? Not for this band of (e-learning) first responders. The hand-drawn job aids, interactions, and examples shared over the past week clearly proved that great learning design is not dependent on technology.
About the weekly challenges
The weekly challenges are ongoing opportunities to learn, share, and build your e-learning portfolios. You can jump into any or all of the previous challenges anytime you want. I’ll update the recap posts to include your demos.
If you have a blog, please consider writing about your challenges. We’ll link back to your posts so the great work you’re sharing gets even more exposure. If you share your demos on Twitter, try using #ELHChallenge so your tweeps can track your e-learning coolness.

Jackie Van Nice took things in a slightly different direction with her mixed-media abduction survival guide. There’s lots of ransom-iffic goodness going on in this organic and highly tactile “course” design.
