Getting Started with The eLearning Design & Development Process | How-To Workshop

#eLearning #InstructionalDesign #eLearningDevelopment When I first fell into the world of eLearning and instructional design, I had no clue what I was doing. I remember my very first project was to design and develop a series of five eLearning courses on how to catch shoplifters. And I’ll be 100% honest with you, I had no clue where to begin! But I learned a lot about that experience. First, I learned that I was more capable than I initially thought. And second, I learned that in order to design and develop an eLearning course (or five of them), I needed to create and follow a standardized process for myself. So, in this How-To Workshop, I'll walk you through the five steps of my eLearning design and development process. You'll explore how to plan your eLearning projects, how to write an eLearning storyboard, how to develop an eLearning course, how to make your eLearning course interactive, and how to implement an eLearning course. 👉 Check out this post for all of the resources I mentioned in this video here: https://elearningacademy.io/blog/the-elearning-design-development-process/ 👉 Check out and sign up for our future community events here: https://community.elearningacademy.io/c/events/ ---- Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:10 My First eLearning Project 04:35 Why eLearning Development is More Complicated 07:45 ADDIE vs. SAM 10:36 Overview of The eLearning Design & Development Process 11:50 Step One: Plan the Project 13:35 Respond to a Training Request 14:33 Start with a Kickoff Meeting 16:56 Conduct a Needs Analysis 21:56 Create an Action Map 26:37 Design a Training Solution 28:00 Draft a Project Plan & Timeline 31:04 Step Two: Draft a Storyboard 32:32 What is an eLearning Storyboard? 36:07 Organize Your Content by Creating an Outline 38:32 Pick a Storyboard Format 39:22 Written Storyboards 40:13 Visual Storyboards 42:40 Review & Edit Your Storyboard 43:57 Step Three: Develop the Course 44:20 Pick an eLearning Authoring Tool 46:55 Develop a Prototype 47:01 Types of Prototypes 48:12 Wireframe Prototypes 49:25 Visual Prototypes 50:16 MVP Prototypes 51:38 Step Four: Make it Interactive 53:02 Why Make Interactive eLearning? 53:57 Click-to-Reveal Interactions 55:21 Performance-Based Interactions 56:17 Step Five: Implement the Course 56:59 Publish Your Course 58:19 Evaluate Your Course 01:01:56 Conduct a Retrospective 01:02:38 Closing ---- Learn more about growing your eLearning career: https://elearningacademy.io/ Enroll in our eLearning academy and community: https://elearningacademy.io/academy/ Snag a copy of The eLearning Designer's Handbook: https://amzn.to/3AlFkYU ---- Follow The eLearning Designer's Academy: Twitter: https://twitter.com/eLearningAcdmy LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/elearningacdmy/ ---- Follow Tim Slade: Twitter: https://twitter.com/sladetim LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sladetim
