I am creating eLearning modules that require the learner to read a lot of outside documents. I.e. the learner needs to have a good understanding of a piece of legislation or at least a particular section.
Example evidence requirement:
"The scope, coverage, and object of the <example Act> are explained"
How can I meet this requirement without either copying and pasting all the important information into the eLearning (as it's important the learner finds this themselves) or simply stating "you must have a good understanding of XXXXXX"?
Apologies if the question is unclear - feel free to ask me anything for clarity.
You can create scenario-based questions and attach those documents as references for user to use it as a hint to select the correct option. Don't worry about if users not read those documents, in fact, if they can make a correct choice, why bother them to read it. The point is you need to create a good scenario with some good questions.
Good question. To get started you might want to quantify what "required" means in this case...
They Must Know The Topic: Then to Joanne's point, you may not care that they read the actual document, only that they can apply the knowledge.
Want Them To Read The Particular Document: This can happen when a stakeholder believes a particular document is the quintessential source of knowledge and/or it is specific to the organization somehow. In these cases, you might consider creating scenarios/situations where they have to apply knowledge specific to the document (not just topic) such as asking them about the example it calls out, or summarizing main points, etc
There Is A Regulatory Requirement: In some industries/sectors there remain specific language/passages that a learner must pursue in order to satisfy the regulatory requirement. In these cases, your hands may be tied a bit. It's often advisable to partner with the actual regulator who will be testing your compliance to see if any options beyond full inclusion are acceptable.
