I was wondering if anyone had ideas as to how to turn SOP/procedure based documents into an engaging and interactive elearning? I'm having massive brain drain and keep staring at these very dry, boring procedure based information. I feel sorry for the audience since all they've been doing in the past is "Read and Understand" - yuck. Definitely want to give them a better experience.
If anyone has any ideas or even better, a template design that they're willing to share, I would be forever grateful.
Thanks for your response. For company confidentiality, I can't share the information but it's a standard QA regulation with a few procedural changes - the target audience is global and yes, they are already familiar with the procedure - the elearning is simply information based so I don't want to overthink it. My deadline is two weeks with no room to budge so I can't develop anything complex or fancy. Not my style to do an information dump but again, not enought time to be really creative.
@Chris - I like the idea of adding characters - I've done this in previous elearnings and they have been well received. Audience is pretty conservative so I don't think gamification will work (plus, I don't have time).
With a two week deadline your options are a bit more limited! If I was in your shoes, I'd look at providing a 'test out' option, where people who were familiar with the procedure could complete the assessment up front and if they pass, they wouldn't need to complete the module.

Hi Tracey,
I'm sure there is a better way to present that information. Couple of questions:

Hi Tracey
thinking out aloud here
could you present the procedures as scenarios that branch to correct / incorrect.
