Book excerpt: LEARN HOW TO DESIGN ELEARNING THAT DELIVERS RESULTS (AND DOESN'T SUCK)! When you're tasked with creating your very first eLearning course, it can be hard (and downright scary) trying to figure out where to begin. You likely have a million questions running through your head. How do you plan your project and set it up for success? How do you collect learning content from your subject matter experts? Why do you need an eLearning storyboard, and how do you write one? How do you develop a prototype of your eLearning course? And, what the heck is a prototype anyway? When and where should you include interactivity? When should you let your SMEs review your course? And what's a "SME" again? And what do you do when they don't give you feedback? Trying to get answers to all of these questions can quickly leave you saying to yourself, "I don't think I'm cut out for this eLearning thing!" But, here's some good news: you're not alone! The truth is, most eLearning designers entered fell, stumbled, and dropped into the world of eLearning entirely by accident. This is where the second edition of The eLearning Designer's Handbook can help! In this book, Tim Slade will show you that the eLearning development process doesn't have to be as complicated as it might seem. If you're new to eLearning, Tim will walk you through the complete eLearning design and development process, providing you practical tips and advice, based on his own experience working as an eLearning designer for over a decade. With the second edition of The eLearning Designer's Handbook, you'll discover how to... Plan your eLearning project by conducting a kickoff meeting with your stakeholders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making learning and development (L&D) content inclusive and accessible for everyone is not only a good thing to do, it's the right thing to do. Designing Accessible Learning Content provides evidence-based advice on designing digital learning content that ensures all learners are included and are therefore able to perform to their full potential. This is a practical guide on accessibility for anyone involved in the design, creation, development or testing of online learning content. It provides detailed guidance on how to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines making it essential reading for L&D professionals, instructional designers and course developers who need to comply with legal accessibility requirements. Using the author's 'eLearning Accessibility Framework', Designing Accessible Learning Content demystifies sometimes complex technical accessibility standards and provides an easy to follow contextual framework uniquely designed for learning content created using any authoring tool. This book also demonstrates how creating accessible learning content can improve usability and provide the best possible learning experience for everyone. In addition, it offers essential background information such as a focus on disability, an overview of assistive technology and an exploration of the case for digital accessibility. This guarantees that L&D professionals have the vital background knowledge they need to make sense of accessibility before they begin practically applying the principles. With online checklists, learner case studies, and industry perspectives, Designing Accessible Learning Content is an essential handbook for all L&D professionals seeking to harness the benefits of accessibility in order to improve their learning content for everyone.
