I'm pretty sure a lot of designers have drawn/inserted to Storyline repeatable visual elements for e-learning like: laptops, mobile phones, binders, notepads, pencils, clipboards in many sizes and variations. They seem to be standard choice for presenting different information.
But there are situations when you have to create something unusual, strange, quaint, scary (you name it) – that’s what happened to me this week and I’m just curious what your experience is, so join me in creating a list.
Oooooh, intriguing discussion Joanna. I didn't create this course series, but I had to test it: a series of courses on nursing skills, that included very graphic illustrations of open wounds. That was definitely a task to do on an empty stomach.
I once worked on a course that dealt with the correct disposable of hospital waste. One of the elements I made for that was a used, disposable cardboard bed pan!
I think we may have reviewed the same course Kelly...although mine was on wound care in the elderly. Another top contender for difficult to review on an empty (or full stomach) was an in-depth review of male anatomy.
I worked for a while for a company in charge of the Swedish police force training. We did not create their courses but we took care of their LMS and as part of the troubleshooting so sometimes we had to check out their materials and so on. At this time was the course on sexual violence and sexual abuse against children and how to handle police to investigate such cases. I was warned before I would check course but was still upset by what I saw.
I did a project years ago on Injection Drug Users (IDU). Images included microscope images of the ends of syringe needles that had been repeatedly re-used by IDUs. There were mettle burrs with minuet torn pieces of human tissue. These syringes are shared by IDUs and that is how infections are spread along with the blood that is drawn up into the syringe when the IDUs register a vain (very gross stuff). Those mettle burrs are also what causes the track-marks that you might see with IDUs (in the movies, TV show and real life). I did couple of projects with close-up images of mosquito drawing blood from human victim (she was an intern and volunteered).
I also created a lesson on cutaneous bed sores. The level four sores are down to the bone. They are really horrific to look at; there is also a smell that exists that is unforgettable.

I'm curious to see what everyone else shares!

I must comment here to follow along - this look like it's gonna get good :)

While this was a personal project, I presented this little story on an old TV complete with white static. This was done in SL1. That was a while back.

Oh, that would be difficult for sure Jacob.
ohh...some of you have really extreme e-learning content experience.
Thanks for sharing and joining the conversation, guys.

Not cool M. I'm glad those are not courses I need to take a look at :)
