Free Webinar: The Elements of Interactive eLearning

David Anderson,   Community Manager,   Articulate

Wednesday, October 3, 2012 | 10:00AM Pacific Time

Free Webinar, Membership Not Required

This webinar showcases one of the most popular, best-rated sessions from DevLearn 2011 Conference & Expo, newly updated and now available to all through this special online presentation.

It wasn’t too long ago that eLearning designers wanting to build interactive courses were forced to choose between one of two realities: a blissful illusion of interactivity, or the painful truth that interactivity required advanced programming skills. That’s no longer the case because today’s eLearning tools make it easy for anyone to design interactivity.

This session is all about deconstructing the best corporate eLearning, multimedia journalism, and interactive infographics. Participants will learn the three most common types of interactivity and learn creative ways to apply interactivity in their own courses.

In this session, you will learn:

• The basic elements of interactivity
• Rapid instructional design models that you can build with any authoring program
• How to evaluate and design the right interactivity
• How to reuse interactive widgets and customize them for new clients and projects

eLearning Atlas

The eLearning Atlas is a comprehensize free list of elearning and LMS providers - brought to you by  Rustici Software, LLC.  One interesting feature is the ability to select a product type and then narrow down the choices to those who have specific specification support - such as authoring tools that support the Tin Can API.  The list is being updated on a regular basis.
