Tips to Convert PowerPoint into an eLearning Course

Before the emergence of current eLearning rapid authoring tools, eLearning training modules were made in Adobe Flash. Much before that – for considerably a longer time – PPT was widely used for training programs.

There was a time when presentations and training programs on PPT were a well-known scenario. As new rapid authoring tools have evolved in the eLearning domain, content developers have almost stopped using PPT for training purposes.

But, some important and useful training programs are left stored in those PPTs. So, PowerPoint training into eLearning conversion is required as part of the legacy content conversion. In fact, converting the content you already have in PPTs to Articulate Storyline 360 is a big advantage as you don’t need to re-create the whole presentation from scratch.

This article will discuss how we can convert PPT to eLearning, using the rapid authoring tool – Articulate Storyline 360.

Tips To Design User Interface (GUI) For Elearning Courseware Development

In this blog, we are going to discuss about the use of visual elements for designing eLearning courses, that is, Graphic User Interface (GUI)/ User Interface (UI) for an eLearning courseware development.

Human beings are visual in nature, we respond to visual data more than any other form of data. The human brain processes visual/images 60,000 times quicker than text, and 90 percent of information transferred to the brain is visual.

Did you know, experts trust that the information is 6 times more likely to be stored in brain when presented visually.

So, we can utilize this natural skill in eLearning development process to enhance eLearning design. It makes learning/collaboration easier, that impact organizational performance. Visually rich design keeps the learner’s eyes occupied, and the brain will be alert and active to consume information.

Importance Of eLearning Quality Assurance To Deliver Bug-Free Courses

Just like any other product that is going to be released into the market, an e-learning course also needs quality assurance (QA) before it is launched to the learners. However, quality assurance is much more significant to e-learning because, the overall development happens in multiple categories, which are completely divergent to one another, yet all congregate to form a wonderful course to engage and delight the learners. These divergent categories involve multiple tasks such as – instructional design, storyboarding, video editing, screen recording, animations, audio and video recording, graphic designing, translating text, providing sub titles and publishing the course. For all these individual categories, the quality assurance should happen separately and when the final course is published, efficient testing should be done for the probable bugs.

Hence, the production of an e-learning course – end to end – is a gigantic task which needs quality assurance at each level to enhance the user experience. Quality assurance is like a current flowing underneath at every level of the development, without which the outcome would be shabby and unimpressive. Quality assurance in e-learning development, in fact, addresses various business aspects in a disguised way. It assures e-learning course quality, enhances product improvement, gains learner satisfaction, improves business standards, and eventually wins more and more customers.

Tips to Build Accessibility Compliance eLearning Courses With Formal Design Methods – WCAG 2.0

According to the world health and disability statistics, around 15% of the world’s population live with a disability. In the current world of improved awareness, each country is keen on those eLearning development programs which are accessible to all kinds of learners – including learners with disability. Here, accessibility means developing the eLearning content which are usable by learners with disabilities – relating to vision, hearing, mobility and cognition.

So, if it is about developing an eLearning course, accessibility is one mandatory factor to consider by following standards like Section 508 and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0).

In this changed context, it is mandatory for all the eLearning content developers to think of eLearning accessibility checklist or guidelines. With increasing demand for accessibility compliance eLearning courses at workplace, it is time to pay attention to it. If you are developing a course which supports the disability learners, you are in a way reducing their learning challenges and supporting their learning ability. Fortunately, accessibility compliance eLearning courses can be built with formal design methods.

Overall, all the accessibility standards across the countries would work with the same goal – To make learning available to every learner despite their different needs and abilities and health status.
