Why Interactive? “Effective instruction involves task based learning that activates prior knowledge, demonstrates the skills, a learner applies the skills, and then integrates the skills.” (David Merill Paper http://cito.byuh.edu/merrill/text/papers.htm) Engage Students attention and participation Provide cultural and industry relevance Individualised choices and feedback Challenge students to develop critical thinking skills
- 5. The Knowing-Doing Gap by Jeffrey Pfeffer, Robert I. Sutton The gap between knowing and doing is more important than the gap between ignorance and knowing. “Talk is not enough, so learning something just by looking at it on the computer is not enough either… To the extent that you’re trying to learn something from eLearning and then apply it in a different or a more complex way, such as anything from biochemistry to learning how to lead a group of people face to face, it doesn’t work very well”
- 6. Linear Interactive Course 1 • Content (Info dump) 2 • Quiz about content 3 • Summarise content
- 9. Decision Making Weighted Scoring Each path has unique consequences Combined choices lead to one of four possible endings
- 10. The Three Cs 1. Challenge 2. Choice 3. Consequence
- 12. Scenario Design Process •Instructional Design •Characters/Scenes •Story/Script •Interface Design •Storyboard 1. Plan •Map all decisions •Check logic/flow •Assess Cognitive load/Challenge 2. Flowchart •Create/source template, graphics and audio •Add content •Link Choices 3. Build • Ensure all links work • Fine tune • Ensure a Quality Learning Experience 4. Test
- 13. 1. Plan Write a Script that covers the scenario (include characters, setting etc.)
- 14. 1. Plan Create a rough storyboard to help visualise the scenario
- 15. 2. Flowchart Use a flowcharting program like Microsoft Visio, Mindmeister, PowerPoint or a large sheet of paper
- 16. 3. Build Tool Complexity Branchtrack * PowerPoint ** iSpring *** Articulate Storyline **** Lectora and Adobe Captivate are other options, but I haven’t tried those yet!
- 17. BranchTrack Create an interactive conversation easily by defining a flowchart of possibilities, choosing a character, background and adding gamification elements. • Simple, fast and easy to create • Professional looking result • Export to an LMS or use as a link • Saved in the cloud • Engaging and interactive • Teach consequence through trial and error • Uses Javascript, runs on iPads
- 18. iSpring Suite 7 Add interactivity to any PowerPoint without leaving the program. Convert and save the result to an LMS as an interactive course • Support all platforms all devices • Integrates with an LMS • Responsive design • Create quizzes and courses • Character library included • Create video lectures • Supports 98% of PowerPoint features
- 19. Articulate Storyline Create highly engaging interactive content. • Supports videos, audio, images and includes templates and pre-built content • Supports importing content from PowerPoint • Add a range of quizzes, interactions and branching scenarios • iPad and HTML5 support (some bugs) • Export to an LMS • Great support community and resources
- 20. Creating Graphics Edit existing Clip Art Use free or paid image sites Use iSpring or Articulate Characters Green Screen Photography
- 21. Editing ClipArt Ungroup the images Remove unwanted elements Change colours Select the entire image and regroup it. http://blogs.articulate.com/rapid-elearning/15-interesting-clip-art-styles-for-your-e-learning-courses/

- 24. Green Screen Photography OLT have an equipped production room with a green screen We can provide cameras, lights and expertise to help academics create characters
- 25. 4. Testing Ensure quality control and professionalism Ensure that students are demonstrating they can reach the learning outcomes Prevent student stress and confusion Build Test
- 26. Some Best Practices Decisions •Aim for 7 decision points Draft and Test •Test a draft version as often as possible with students/ academics Do Go Back •Allow students to go back in a scenario to rectify a mistake or explore a different option Shades of Grey •Avoid obvious black or white decisions, hard decisions make students stop and think about the topic Controversial •Use controversy to encourage discussion
