What makes bad elearning? Part 2

Concluding this two-part feature on the pitfalls of elearning, Robin Hoyle gives examples of bad techniques when it comes to elearning, and ways in which you can succeed.

"Just replicating a PowerPoint presentation does not make good elearning. In fact, one of the real indicators of poor elearning is the extent to which it is a passive medium where learners are expected to interact only with the next button while they read through text on screen. Even worse is the elearning that requires the learner to go through it in a pre-prescribed path, using every screen in sequence, using each unit in a precise order. The ubiquitous 'screen 2 of 24' at the foot of the elearning interface becomes less of a guide to where you are and more of a threat."
