eLearning seems irretrievably bound by questioning and testing—often meaningless and almost always off-putting to the learner.

This model is a relic of simplistic primitive models from the earliest days of programmed instruction and seems so standard that it is hard to think any other approach is desirable or even possible.

In this webinar Ethan Edwards presents a model for building meaningful experiences to engage the learner in place of the standard “tell than test” approach to storyboarding and scripting of eLearning.

Among the important factors that establish purpose in an eLearning interaction, CONTEXT is the most fundamental and yet is often the most overlooked.

Ethan will explore several strategies to structure contextual learning and illustrate the power of these techniques with real-life examples that rely on strong context to enable richly-rewarding interactive experiences.

In this one-hour webinar you will:

• Experience the motivating result of context-embedded eLearning designs
• Compare strategies for creating meaningful context online
• Generate ideas for enhancing designs through extending ideas from actual e-learning modules being used in the industry

Presenter:  Ethan Edwards  (LinkedIn profile) is an internationally recognized speaker on instructional design and e-learning and the primary instructor for ASTD’s e-Learning Instructional Design Certificate Program. Ethan is also a primary blogger for Allen Interactions‘ e-Learning Leadership Blog.
