Purpose:
Any e-learning course that we develop will have its purpose, as simple as we need to have a learning objective. Why are we creating this course? What is the motivation for creating this course?
Investigate:
As you understand the purpose of your course you should also investigate the content. No wonder there would be subject matter experts at aid but then while developing a course you need to develop an understanding of the subject.
When creating a clinical nursing course you must investigate and find out more about the lingo, terms, and make it a very clinical course!
Audience:
When you see a course do you feel that it is either too easy or too difficult to understand? That’s because one has missed an important angle of the pentagon, the audience!
When developing an e-learning course one needs to develop an understanding of his audience, you need to think from the learner’s point of view.
Engage:
Interactivity – gets the learner hooked to the course. Engage him with small interactive modules, tests quizzes, animation, etc.
Test:
Pilot run your course before releasing, you’ll be surprised with the last minute house-keeping you will need to do!
