I’ve always relied on templates, cheat sheets, and job aids to help me work faster and more efficiently.
\n
When I wrote courses, I used cheat sheets that included writing snippets for course openings, introducing learning objectives, writing quiz feedback, and interviewing SMEs.
\n
As a course developer, I relied on cheat sheets for Flash and Photoshop shortcut keys, screenshots of common slide and interaction layouts, browser-compatibility charts, and publish settings for audio and video files.
\n
I get that topics like “templates” can be hot-button issues in our industry. But templates don’t have to be about gratuitous visual elements as much as guides to help you improve quality and consistency in your courses.
\n
So when Rachel Barnum directed me to a Reddit discussion on instructional design cheat sheets, I knew this would make a great weekly challenge!
\n
Challenge of the week
\n
This week, your challenge is to share an instructional design cheat sheet, job aid, or reference document that you created.
\n
You can share any type of guide you like and it can be static (image, checklist, PDF) or interactive (tabs, document, labeled graphic, quiz). If you share a document, we’ll add it to our Course Design Assets in the Downloads hub.
Wishing you a template-tastic week, E-Learning Heroes!
\n
New to the e-learning challenges?
\n
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.
