Do you know how many mobile devices are used these days? The students and the learners are scrolling them for content. However, it’s important to keep some important tips in mind before switching to elearning on mobiles:

It’s important not to use the same content that is used in class.

In elearning, the content needs to be short and specific.

You need to take into account the different aspects of an elearning course like the pictures and the learning objectives of the target audience. So, the content of the instructor-led training should be modified for use in elearning.

The elearning must be used for interestingly training employees and students. So make sure that there is no unnecessarily needed information in elearning. The matter should be built around stories. When the audience gets to listen to such stories, they can assimilate the information into their system. Also, stories always have a real-life touch to them due to which audiences can take interest in them.

The aim behind creating such interesting stories for students is to ensure that they can learn something new and build their job skills.

1. Keep it brief

There is never a specific formula to decide how much should be the length of a training course.

2. Short attention span

James Cutting, a famous psychiatrist found out that human attention span is very limited. It cannot focus on a topic for a long time. It requires something to capture attention. That’s, why, quizzes, games, and videos must be introduced in the course from time to time so that the learner’s natural attention span is maintained.

3. Get the course to be of a perfect length

Also, the courses need to be of a perfect length. This implies that employees don’t have much time to focus on training courses. So, when the content of a long course is segregated into bite-sized modules, it implies that they can get time out of their busy schedules them.

4. Employ interaction

Most people would choose elearning rather than a lecture. So, it’s important that they feel included in it. There has been so much innovation in the elearning industry over the last few years due to authoring tools. Now, there are so many options available before elearning content creators such as progress bars, leaderboards, and badges that involve the learner in a course. The following kinds of interactivity can be included in a course:

• Passive interaction:

It’s very important to be included in a course so that the learner can easily go through it. This includes the navigation of the course, the screen transition and how games function.

• Limited interaction:

Some extra features can also be included in the course to make sure that the learners take complete interest in it. This means hyperlinks can be included in graphics. There can also be links to resources not belonging to the course. You can also include a drop-down menu in the course that learners find easy to use.

• Moderate interaction:

There is the use of animated videos, animation, and audio with voice intonation to attract the attention of the audience.

• Simulation interaction:

This is one of the best ways to make a course interactive. It combines the previous three levels of interaction. It also has gamification, the use of multimedia, and an avatar to guide the user through a simulation or the video.

This is how elearning can involve different levels of interactivities for the user.
