Tips 1-4 1. Clicking doesn't always create meaningful interactivity. (Shoot for interactions that engage critical thinking & choices) 2. Knowledge and Behavior aren't mutually exclusive. (Ensure that all included content improves performance. No filler or fluff). 3. eLearning isn't always the right solution. ("Blasphemy!" - my quote, not Tim's :) 4. eLearning is so much more than instructional design. (There is also graphic design, user interface design, visual communication, etc).
Okay, I love what you said at 3:27-4:17. "Learners only need the minimal amount of information necessary in order to perform a task....Evaluate whether or not that knowledge you are providing actually benefits better performance or not." I love that you advise us to remove content that doesn't benefit the behaviors when our goal is performance. I have a tendency to be TOO thorough. This is helpful for me.
Hi Tim Wow! This video contained more information than I realised, because it was conveyed in such a clear and concise way. Invaluable, so a big "THANK YOU". I have graphic skills which has led me recently to look at embarking on a career that focuses on e-learning. You have really helped me. Keep up the good work! Sally
Thanks Tim .I am just a beginner in e learning design .This video has added me much knowledge to help when designing instructional learning .Keep it up
Thanks Tim! I'm trying to understand the different structures of learning/eLearning and you're video has helped somewhat. Always back to the drawing board when it comes to each new course to build.
@@TimSladeeLearning ,how are you doing....I would like to go to school, i never heard about instructional design before until an advisor told me about it.....and I go to TH-cam to get more information. Do you think it is a hard class, do I need to have a great skill in computer already ?
1. Clicking doesn't mean learning more (You need meaningful journey) 2. Content Size (Let go of some content) 3. E-learning is not always the right solution 4. E-learning is not just instructional design (Could be UI, Visuals, Graphic etc. )
I have questions about visuals and graphics? do instructional designers have to scout out photos, graphics, copyrights and how to build a library to use visual in a course.
Great video , very informative! I am still wondering if ID have to learn everything on the topic their creating the course about? or do you only take on projects on things/fields you know
Hey Tim, Thank you so much for the video, it is helpful. I have done Diploma in Instructional Design. Thanks to you I can have more detailed knowledge. Keep posting. I would like to learn more from you.
This is a great video. I think the hardest thing for me is how to upskill. I am a fully qualified secondary school teacher in physics, mathematics and science. I deliver courses online using a Learning Management System. I am trying to find courses or programs at tertiary institutions where I get to upskill in andragogy and hematagogy, organisational development, as well as the coding, graphics design type skills demanded by these eLearning roles. Right now, I am good at using Moodle to deliver my classes. However, I am often wondering, "how could this be more interesting and meaningfully interactive?" "How can I get students to demonstrate learning with burdening myself with lots of electronic marking?"
Me too Eleanor. I teach at a college where we have a good LMS and sufficient faculty support and more than 30 years of designing effective classroom instruction for all ages. I want to identify resources to help build my proficiency with eLearning and distance education.
I’d love to know more about effective layouts for instructional content. I am an after effects user creating content for e-learning. I find it hard to decide on the most effective look for different kinds of information.
Hi Tim, Great video! So glad to find more IDers & EdTech folks on TH-cam! What’s your advice on becoming more proficient in becoming an eLearning designer? As you mentioned, it’s much more than instructional design. I have an ID master degree, but feel stuck when it comes to eLearning specifically. Would you suggest an individual in my situation get training in a authoring and/or photo/video editing tools? Thanks! Ashley
Thanks for watching, Ashley! I appreciate it! To answer your question on how to become a more proficient eLearning designer, I'd simply say practice, practice, practice!
Tim Slade thanks so much. That’s essentially what I’ve been realizing. I’m looking forward to more of your videos. Are you apart of any ID/eLearning professional organizations? I’m hoping to connect specifically with more eLearnjng designers globally (part of my doctors research) - wondering if you’re connected to any large professional communities.
Thanks for the great video, Tim. I am currently in a Master's program in ID and building my eLearning project. in my prototype alpha test, one of the issues was participants having to leave the course to view an outside video. Participants that were new to eLearning had a difficult time figuring out how to get back in the main course. What is your view about open vs closed navigation to view content?
hi Jeanne, we see you posted this a year ago, but we believe that keeping the videos (and any other external content) embedded inside the learning solution keeps the learners within the experience so thereby minimizing the risk that you mention. All Authoring tools allow embedding of external content.
Tip 2 and 4 are spot on!! IDs should know two things more: 1. Objectives. Because stakeholders have no idea how to create learning objectives 2. Content conversion. What can be a role play in class doesn't necessarily be a branching scenario

I love the critical thinking you've put in this video and how you question commonly held perceptions on e-learning. New sub here!

as a child of the '80's... "Choose Your Own Adventure!" :) I am trying to decide if this is for me after being in special education for 25 years...
Great stuff, Tim! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. :)
Extremely helpful video Tim. Very informative and unique.

Exactly. You know how it works and explained ID and elearning in a short concise summary. Nicely said.
Very informative.

Thanks, Shefali!
Im trying my best to Understand... but im struggling...
Very useful tips, thanks!
The first tip should be Build a “ Meaningful interactive experience .
What a great video! You have some solid tips, especially tips 1 & 2! Can I have permission to embed some of your videos into my training program?

You can also use Google Classroom to get students to demonstrate your learning materials. Hope will help you!
Can anyone suggest me a good topic for instructional design project?😊

Tim Slade Cool. I’m apart of ATD & eLearning Guild also. Just scoping the scene. Thanks for the feedback.
Number 4 is so true.

Practical tips
Thank you tim. I am a beginner in developing e-learning can you help me to have a free certification and courses for e learning instructional design?
Hi Tim. It's a great video. Could you please send me a link for Free Certification course in Instructional designing and e-learning? Please
Tip 2 and 4 are spot on!! IDs should know two things more:
1. Objectives. Because stakeholders have no idea how to create learning objectives
2. Content conversion. What can be a role play in class doesn't necessarily be a branching scenario
Better sound design please? I was very distracted by the echo. Great info otherwise.
