Software eLearning creation
Have you thought of having the learner choose their role at the beginning of the course and then have the course branch out from there? so basically an introductory slide that goes to different chapters of the course based on a variable selection?
Thank you CherylStGermain, we already do this. Was trying to think of other ways of making it more engaging rather than just step by step of how to use the system.
VickyAttridge I would create a patient persona and have the learner, in their role, enter the information. If it were me I'd create the software demo as a test yourself option in storyline, so that it could prompt the learner if needed but the learner actually has to enter the data as if they were doing it in the actual environment without help. You can add consequences if data is entered in the incorrect place.
Thank you for the help and the ideas! Sometimes its great to get different perspectives!
The how-to needs weight and meaning then. I've made call center training in a prior role and what elevated the "click here to document the call" type training was creating scenarios based on common calls. People who call in with birthdays and diagnoses and concerns. It sounds like the system training is missing the human element.
In your role, it doesn't necessarily need to be patients either. Perhaps the learner role plays a more experienced person "teaching" a newer person. The Storyline newbie asks "and then what do I click next?" and the learner demonstrates their knowledge by choosing the right answer. "Thanks!" says the newbie. "I'm sure I'll get the hang of it eventually." Dialogue can bring characters to life, and it doesn't need to be Oscar-worthy or filled with backstory.
Thank you Andrew! Great to have other peoples ideas and perspectives on how to make eLearning engaging 😀
