How Do E-Learning Designers Show Learner Progress? #409

Showing Progress in E-Learning #409: Challenge | Recap

Progress bars are a great way to help learners stay on course by highlighting what they've completed and how far they have left to go.

As course designers, you have many ways to display learner progress. There are bars, gauges, badges, page numbers, and more. Progress designs can be playful, functional, or visually aligned with the course content. No matter which design approach you use, keeping learners on track is what this week's challenge is all about!
