FAQ
What are the major obstacles to elearning success?
The main challenge for e-Learning is not technical but cultural. It's all about people and how they interact.
We must understand their motivations and learn how they learn best. Online learning is also something they enjoy.
This is where it's important to find ways of making this experience as natural and enjoyable as possible.
What is eLearning?
E-learning is a time-consuming process that requires significant effort. E-learning requires an understanding of the learning process. The learning experience should focus on what learners are looking to accomplish.

E-learning must be enjoyable and engaging. It should be focused on student motivation. This includes encouraging and providing feedback to learners who are working hard towards reaching their goals.
How much multimedia should an eLearning class contain?
It all depends on your goals. You may prefer to communicate information quickly. But if your goal is to provide training that will teach people how to do something then less may be more.
The key thing is that you need to know what you want to achieve from your eLearning course. It is also important to know what learners want from your course. This will allow you to make sure you have enough content for your learners to reach their goals.
You can take this example:
It is best to show people many examples of text documents if you are trying to teach them how to use Microsoft Word. If you are trying to teach people Excel, however, they will need to see many different types.
You should also consider whether images or video are best to illustrate concepts.
Video is great to show people how it works, but not so much for explaining complex topics. It is also expensive to produce. While images are more affordable to produce, they do not convey the same emotional impact as videos.
Let's be clear: Before you start designing an eLearning course, you need to carefully consider what you want.
