Most eLearning is also like a lecture

This sucks.

It’s like travelling by train One route. One speed. You can’t contribute to the journey, nor can you determine its outcome.

Using the web is not like travelling by train

Explore With the web you can... Trigger Enquire Respond React Engage Create Query Interact Rewind Pause Repeat Test Customise

Thanks to the Web, creating interactive learning content is becoming faster and cheaper.

The web-savvy generation now expect a higher level of engagement

People enjoy video games because their creators put engagement before everything else.

eLearning authors often put engagement a distant second to academic rigour.

The principles of game design are significant But the very word game is misleading. It’s synonymous with extra-curricular, solitary activity. This is a misconception we need to overcome.

lecture? So why does eLearning have to be like a

In life we learn from experience

Learning results from peer interaction & feedback in an entertaining and risk free environment. It also involves repetition, reinforcement, association and use of multiple senses. E Akl et al 2007 “ ”

This balance is unique for every individual; which is why teaching a large classroom is so difficult. eLearning has a tremendous opportunity to create a state of Flow that is suitable for every learner’s ability. of 40

Often we have critical lessons to communicate...

Lessons which protect our safety and health...

our environment...

...lessons which protect our future.

these lessons merit serious attention when it comes to online learning

lets make it happen :) @seismograph slideshare follow us on twitter more presentations on (links open in a new window)

jaimegamelearn Very nice presentation 2 weeks ago

Are you sure you want to Yes No

Prof. J. A. Illik, Hochschule Furtwangen University, at Prof. J. A. Illik, Hochschule Furtwangen University, because of the mentioned reasons i offer the blog www.illik.de for the course ’Innovative Marketingmethods’ at Furtwangen University. The students themself make their excercises in blogs also. So the students have their individual learning speed and the opportunity to get feedback for their blogposts. And the most important effect: learning is combined with practical experience, at least in presenting learned stuff. 1 year ago

Jared Stein , Director of Instructional Design Services at Utah Valley University You're right, of course, but the challenge is how do we produce interactive, engaging, effective, and reproduceable learning experiences as suggested within current budgets? That's what we need next: an explanation of how to create interactive, engaging, and effective e-learning at the same cost as the 'train' method. 1 year ago

Tomas Zykan , consultant, coach, trainer at czechmania this rocks 1 year ago

patrickdunn Very much agree. So much so that I wrote this: http://innovate2engage.blogspot.com/2009/09/this-presentation-elearning-sucks-link.html 2 years ago

vilucar I work in chunks of time devoted to specific activities, slide watching being one of them. Not to miss a potentially useful slideshow (I'm an educator), blog, or other piece of info I download or print them for later viewing. Not allowing file downloads usually means I can only quickly scan that item. I can of course counteract lamentations re the copyright issues by using tools such as Camtasia but I just don't have the time. 2 years ago

Red Magma at Red Magma Hi Ayman ('vilucar')

Thanks for commenting on our eLearning presentation, we noticed you have posted similar messages on lots of profiles so thought we should respond.

The reason this particular set of slides can′t be downloaded is they contain photography which has been licensed from a private company. If you were to edit the slides for your own use, you would need to purchase a copy of all the photographs in order to comply with the law.

You may however download our other slides on slideshare. More will be coming soon!

Please do feel free to share your own content on this site and contribute to the community constructively. 2 years ago

vilucar What, download not allowed???? This REALLY sucks! 2 years ago
