But with a bit of thought, it is possible to recreate practical tasks in a digital setting and provide a 'safe space to fail'. And perfect your tea-making abilities.

By its very nature, the e-learning industry tends to target information workers rather than those in 'hands-on' roles.

Once again, it's time for the 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿 #ELHchallenge - where has the year gone?!

My first reaction to the reveal of Mocha Mousse was, "That looks like a cup of Builder's Tea".

So I rolled with it and made possibly my most British demo yet.

@david-anderson.bsky.social, there's also a hidden voltage joke here I think you'll enjoy...

I've been accused of 'lampooning' our work in the past, but this demo hides a serious use case. The checklist can be printed off and completed manually, or completed online and printed off as proof of completion.

Have the hap-hap-happiest Christmas!

CHRISTMAS CHECKLIST

🧵3/3

Providing a performance support tool, such as a worksheet, job aid, or another resource that helps learners apply what they’ve learned in a course, is an often overlooked area.

It's important we don't treat e-learning isn't treated as a 'magic bullet', and recognise that blended approaches to training can dramatically improve outcomes.

This week's #ELHchallenge is 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗝𝗼𝗯 𝗔𝗶𝗱𝘀.

As a busy parent and learning professional, I'm a big fan of checklists - the original job aid!

So here's an interactive CHRISTMAS CHECKLIST, which also doubles as a printable resource.

Hopefully, this feels 'real' enough to be relevant, but 'safe' enough to practice.

The questions are fairly standard ID interview questions, with one or two tongue-in-cheek options. Because we IDs do take ourselves a bit too seriously, sometimes.

Ready for your interview?

I've once again borrowed the UI from a well-known app to try to make this demo intuitive and easy to use and visually align the theme to the content.

Achieving this level of congruence is important when we're trying to simulate another online experience in e-learning.

This week's hashtag #ELHchallenge is 𝗧𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗿𝘂𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄.

Can you pass this 10-question 'online interview' with a panel of experts?

Linking these events to other interactive elements can build engagement and underline the content through supporting animations.

What do you think?

Did I MISS THE MARK?

🧵3/3

Interactive markers not only draw the learner's attention and chunk information, but they also disappear once they've been opened and read. 🧵2/3

In my demo, I've used the 'content closes' trigger to control a sequence of animations and sound effects. I've also used entrance animations and motion paths on the markers themselves. 🧵1/3

This week's #ELHchallenge is 𝗨𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀.

So I'm back in the Old West to uncover the truth about gunslinging.
