Punctuation and Grammar #75: Challenge | Recap
If you’re like most course designers, you have a dozens (maybe hundreds) of bookmarks for writing and editing. That makes sense because text is still the most popular visual communication element.
I recently found a new resource guide for punctuation. The site is called The Punctuation Guide and it’s a wonderful resource for teaching punctuation.
The Punctuation Guide
I like how the guide has an app-like feel. The navigation, rollovers, and layout would work really well for a non-linear e-learning course.
The only thing missing is a practice component. I wish there were some activities for users to test and practice punctuation skills. Thankfully, our community is always on the lookout for e-learning challenge ideas. And that’s what this week’s challenge is all about!
Challenge of the Week
This week your challenge is to design a learning interaction that teaches one or more concepts around punctuation.
