Great post Trina.
I have found compliance programs are the biggest problem areas.
Many people clutter too much information on a screen and the message is missed.

- I'd have to agree with you Mr. C. I spent years in the financial services world and it was always a struggle to move beyond "check the box" thinking when it came to compliance programs.
I pulled together an article full of community tips for avoiding boring compliance training if you'd like to read a few great ideas from your fellow e-learning pros in this regard: https://community.articulate.com/articles/3-ways-to-avoid-designing-boring-compliance-training- I agree that compliance courses seem to be a beast. We are in the process of integrating some third party coursework into our LMS and the compliance training is unnecessarily long. Something like HIPAA is a great example. I worked with one of our colleagues who is well-versed in these guidelines and we were able to come up with a ten minute lesson that met our HIPAA needs. These long courses for compliance training really throw learners off when it can actually be a little interesting when done appropriately.
- Mr. C - I have done a hugely successful project on compliance training with OSCA out in CA , and have done two other courses with ExxonMobil L.A. refinery. Again, get those goals and objectives under control, split and organize into manageable chunks, and do tons of reinforcement games, exercises, and rich scenarios. Facilitate discussion around specific incidents. Use a picture.
The success of the OSCA program was that we went into Second Life, built scenes using real photos and manga type work embedded (the VW resources, and took tons of photos which we turned into storybook videos for the class. Additionally, we made our workbook into a graphic novel - the first of it's kind! The entire course is driven by facilitated dialog and reinforcement games, integrated with storytelling. The tested results are unbelievable. And the cost was a fraction of what it takes to do that with drawn/created graphics.
