A Game-Inspired eLearning Workshop With Emily Chorley
Yesterday I attended Emily Chorley’s Game-Inspired eLearning Design workshop and Y’ALL. She is an Articulate rockstar!
Emily was clear to point out that she is self-taught, and while the caveat might have been unnecessary because her creations are impeccable, it was really encouraging. How affirming to think that by continually honing our craft, we can get to that level of expertise.
Some of her technical tricks I noted:
Adding sound effects to hover states
Adding a transparent solid fill to shapes to move them around easily
Leaving equal space around text
Placing reference material just outside of the slides
Highlighting and previewing selected slides, not a whole scene
The biggest takeaway was to build eLearning that is fun and creative and connected to our personal interests. That being said, I am a HUGE fantasy fiction nerd, and with Emily’s gaming workshop fresh on my mind, I dove into the eLearning Heroes Challenge #363.
