I love how you make it sound so easy. I use the Excel sheet to create my Content outline or ToC we call it. It helps me also to outline the objectives of each topic and also write a little bit about how each screen will be created. This helps the client to understand the breakdown of the module and also how the topic or the screen will be treated.

Hello Tim, thanks for great video! I have a question. If we are just told to create a course topic or title without much details. What methods we can use to gather more information to come up with topic ideas? Like , should I make a learning need analysis with target group Or should I simply ask them what are the crucial topics they want and need to learn? maybe something else.

Great question! My suggestion would be to start with some sort of analysis process. Here's a great workflow that may help you: community.elearningacademy.io/c/knowledge-base/how-to-conduct-a-needs-analysis-instructional-design

Thank you, Tim! Great video! Got a question. What do you mean when you say the Main Menu as an interactive exerices?

[@elearningacdmy]

Hey Sarah! Thanks for watching and commenting...when I refer to interactivity, I'm talking about how you might make an eLearning course interactive by adding scenarios, quiz questions, etc. Here's an article, which might help explain: elearningacademy.io/blog/how-to-design-performance-based-elearning-interactions/
