Ideas for VERY dry content
Hello - I'm very new to e-learning and the Articulate programs. I've used Studio to build my first e-learning module, and just got Storyline. I have now been tasked to create an e-learning module ...
I had to do an open enrollment training a couple years ago...tons of information, and not exactly the most intriguing topic. I created a "talk show" theme for the topic, there was a "host" who led the show, and had "special guests", the host also took "call in questions" and questions from the "twitter feed"...it was very well received. I think whenever you can incorporate several voices, that definitely helps. I've used a similar format (talk/news show) for several other courses and they've been very well received. And they've not always had tons of bells and whistles, music and sound effects are also a powerful tools. You can find tons of royalty free sound effects on youtube, you can extract the audio with this free tool: http://www.listentoyoutube.com/
Just be sure to read the "fine print" under the video, sometimes they really aren't "free" other times the creators just want credit. Good luck!
