Instructors are trained to use different techniques to keep the students engaged, such as Ask-Pause-Select. However, online courses do not have that luxury. Online courses must use techniques like overlays, animation, transitions, layers and triggers. This is where the technical skills come into play. Also, a keen eye developed by photo/video training is needed to make sure the layout/framing of the scene is correct.
IT may not have the creativity needed to develop an engaging course - but Instructors don't have the technical skills. They also don't have the time, between developing In-class Lesson Plans and instructing to learn a new software program.
This seems to be a conundrum . . .
Hi,
I've done this type of project many times, and as Phil said, It should be done by an eLearning developer.
The IT team provides the technical subject matter knowledge, and the eLearning developer creates the course.
Once a clear set of project team member roles and responsibilities have been determined, it's a pretty simple process.
