Dry Subject Matter ------> Engaging Tutorials
Feb 08, 2022
Hello New Friends, I am a new Instructional Designer.
I have been tasked with creating a series of short engaging tutorials for students (in groupings, Grades 3rd-4th, 7th-8th and 9th-12th) and the subject matter is rather dry. Could anyone suggest some designers who are doing this in an engaging way for kids?
Also, I need to use some screen shots from the platform environment that the kids will be working in and hope to zip it up with some fun additions. After the tutorial they will move into the platform and give what they learned a try.

Hi ML,
I'm excited to hear you're beginning your Instructional Design career!
The E-Learning Heroes community has some great examples of courses for kids. You can see what other community members created for K12 Education Examples and Examples of E-Learning Games for Kids. To browse even more examples, hop on over to the E-Learning Examples hub.
You can take lots of different creative approaches to liven up screenshots in your course. For example, you can use the labeled graphic block in Rise 360. And Storyline 360 allows you to record your screen and create software simulations, so that might be a great way to enable your learners to practice using the platform you're training them on!
I hope that helps!
