There are lots of assumptions that e-learning takes out the creativity out of you. This may not be the case. There has been a debate off late on the automated nature of the e-learning tools that they are responsible for taking the creativity out of the e-learning process and thus making the course dull. This may or may not be true . The only thing that holds back your creativity is you.
One of the exciting things about e-learning tools is that I have my own independence in creating a course and I am not dependent on others to help me out. The most difficult part in the e-learning development process is giving instructions and working with programmers because they have many time constraints and , whatever good idea we have , we may not be able to implement it properly because we devote ourselves to a specific direction and it is very difficult for us to accept there ideas. This may not be the case with e-learning tools. With the help of these tools we have a lot of scope and flexibility to change our project design. With the help of these skills we can create a very good and engaging e-learning course.
Some of the tips of making an effective e-learning course are:
Using power point presentations: I have been using power point presentations to make my courses effective. Power point presentations not only bring life into the courses but they are visually appealing too.
Creating an engaging and interactive course: Courses should be created in such a way that they are engaging and interactive. Interactive in the sense by adding scenario based examples to make the course more interactive and an engaging course so that the learner may not get deviated from the course.
There has been a rapid change in the e-learning industry. The e-learning tools have made our life easy by enabling us to bring knowledge and skill to learners. With the help of these opportunities one can weave magic into their courses .
