How to Design Effective eLearning

Would you like to learn how to design effective and engaging scenario-based eLearning experiences? 👉 Get the free Become an ID checklist: www.devlinpeck.com/become-an-...
In this video, we’ll dive into the full eLearning design and development process that I’ve used to secure high-value client projects. And I’ve helped people in the bootcamp use this process to land some of the most competitive instructional design opportunities.
Much of the eLearning that you may have seen is designed more like an information-dump than an engaging, story-driven experience. This process will help you design immersive learning experiences that capture people’s attention and help them perform better on-the-job.
In addition to helping your audience, you can use this process to create a portfolio project that will help you stand out in the market.
The step-by-step eLearning design process is:
1. Identify the Need: Determine if there is an opportunity for improvement
2. Create an Action Map: Map out the actions you want people to practice.
3. Write the Storyboard: Create the text-based blueprint for your eLearning experience.
4. Design Visual Mockups: Design the visual layout for your eLearning experience.
5. Develop a prototype: Develop a prototype for your project.
6. Develop the Final Product: Complete the final product.
I’ll also discuss how you can add moments of delight and help enhance transfer for your audience.
Throughout the video, we’ll explore portfolio projects where people have used this eLearning design process effectively.
To explore these portfolios and projects for yourself, visit the showcase: www.devlinpeck.com/showcase.

As always, this is well worth the time to watch. I'm so glad I ran into your content several months ago. I tried putting together a portfolio piece by building it directly in Storyline, but as you mentioned, I lost alot of time redoing and reiterating. How much easier it would have been if I had started with Adobe XD to build. Even better if I had started with a text based storyboard or a mind map to outline my thoughts. (In the process I learned alot about cool features of Storyline as I was trying to demonstrate my ability to use all of them in one project, but I'm not sure how coherent the finished piece was. I too would be interested in image packs.

[@DevlinPeckYT]

We've all been there, Laura. It is tough to figure things out on your own (I even built some of my early client projects in Storyline directly...results in a lot of rework as change requests come in down the line). So yes, please learn from my mistakes, lol. This process irons out a lot of the inefficiencies and works really well for clients (I would seek approval on text-based storyboard, interactive prototype, and then final product). Finally, thanks for supporting the content. We're glad that you're here :)

Great question. I suggest using this process for one project (the flagship project), and you can have smaller deliverables to bolster this.

[@himanisaini5790]

Hi Devlin and all! I am a New Delhi-based curriculum developer. I specialize in elementary education and sociology of education and have been working with government organizations and NGOs for a couple of years. Now, I intend to switch to the profile of an instructional designer. I have been reading, watching videos and also intend to build a portfolio. However, I have three major queries. a) Should my portfolio samples be general or specific at this initial stage of the switch? In other words, should I restrict it to elementary education work samples or include samples that cater to the need of corporates, include other topics, etc.? b) Should I prepare for the role in terms of what industry needs or what I can offer? If both, how do I strike a balance between these two? c) Are South Asian people often viewed as ‘cheap labourers’, specifically in the freelance space? (I intend to work with people across the globe while residing in India.) I would highly appreciate it if you all could share your response to the above-given questions. Thanks in advance!

[@DevlinPeckYT]

Hello, and good questions! I will do my best to answer: 1. You should try to cover a wider range. If all of your projects are related to elementary education, it may send the message that those are the types of roles you're aiming to work in. 2. Both! The process outlined in this video covers a lot of the bases that companies are looking for. 3. I am not sure about that. If you position yourself well and have a strong portfolio, then you will be able to demand premium rates.

I'm curious, since you said "on your end", or do you mean there is other work on the part of the client? And, yes, I know you love project pricing, and I definitely see why! Although, the stuff you create brings incredible value. So, now that I say it, I'm not sure why I was "shocked!" It was more just hearing $25,000+ USD.

Good question, Rachna! I am sure there are some tools out there, but I just download multiple browsers and test on multiple devices :D

[@RachnaGhiya]

@@DevlinPeckYT Thanks. Any specific browsers that one should check every time one makes a prototype?

[@DevlinPeckYT]

@@RachnaGhiya Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and Edge are the big ones 😃

What did you use to create this storyboard

[@ziziqadir4170]

hi devlin! in so many job description they ask us that we should can add surveys, or gamification with educational content! do you have any suggestion regarding that? and I was wondering if how can I learn CSS, HTML5, or webpage design ASAP?

[@DevlinPeckYT]

Sure! You can design surveys with many tools (typeform, surveymonkey, qualtrics, etc.). For learning web dev, check out freecodecamp.org and scrimba

[@ziziqadir4170]

@@DevlinPeckYT thank you! which on do you recommend as an ID for web dev and survey?

[@DevlinPeckYT]

@@ziziqadir4170 Typeform is good for surveying (that's what I use), and HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are a good set of dev skills to develop

what software did u use to create a the elearning?

[@DevlinPeckYT]

Good question! These projects are created with Articulate Storyline 360 :D

[@morganliffers4567]

Would a scenario based eLearning experience come after an informational training so that the participant knows how to navigate the scenarios based on what they've learned?

[@DevlinPeckYT]

With this approach, we bring people right into the action and let them "pull" information (instead of pushing it on them). That being said, many clients / teams do weave together a mix of info-based and scenario-based like you mentioned. Good question!

[@CarlJClark]

What are your thoughts about elearning already being obsolete?

[@DevlinPeckYT]

Hi Carl! Not sure what you mean by obsolete...this is news to me :D.

[@flagshipbuilds]

Oh ya!

[@DevlinPeckYT]

It is here!! Haha

[@emamhowlader5711]

Nice

[@DevlinPeckYT]

Thanks Emam 😃

[@8eautyInTheDark]

Do you offer that text Storyboard for downloading or sharable link?

[@DevlinPeckYT]

Hey hey! Not at the moment outside of the bootcamp but I can definitely put something together. I do offer a different text-based storyboard in the storyboard template video here on the channel :D.

[@8eautyInTheDark]

@@DevlinPeckYT your storyboard video is in my playlist. I'll check it out. Thank you for all you do 😊

Where do you get your characters from? ref 18:51

[@DevlinPeckYT]

I think that Aleks got hers from Freepik and then customized as needed. I also work with an illustrator and we’re creating character packs for the community 😃

[@flagshipbuilds]

@@DevlinPeckYT Thanks! Looking forward to it.

[@DevlinPeckYT]

@@flagshipbuilds Stay tuned! :D

Can you add translation of arabic

[@colinbuck7471]

As a online lecturer found this very useful in guiding me through how to turn boring old MS Word word heavy docs into interactive sessions users can follow in their own time. Just starting out in the Articulate domain too, so need all the guidance I can get!

[@DevlinPeckYT]

Thanks Colin, I’m glad that this will help. It definitely takes some getting used to, but using this process will help you create a really nice portfolio project (and break away from the information-heavy style). Let us know if you have any questions along the way.
