Showcasing Interactive E-learning Project – Time Blocking

Multimedia Designer Shahadah explains the E-Learning Interactivity approach

In one of our recent projects, we’ve assisted our client in transforming their face-to-face training material into e-learning. In this blog post, we are showcasing the interactivity E-learning Project – Time Blocking, where we’ve successfully converted text-based content into an interactive format. Join Shahadah as she reveals the benefits and applications of this interactive e-learning project, highlighting how time blocking enhances the learning experience.

Interview with Sal on e-learning content developmentHi Shahadah, can you share with us what interactive e-learning is?

Interactive e-learning is an engaging and dynamic approach to learning that encourages active participation. It moves beyond the traditional method of passive listening, which often leads to information overload. Moreover, this is a hands-on learning experience, making learning more enjoyable and immersive.

This type of e-learning incorporates various elements like:

These features help learners stay engaged and enhance their ability to retain information.

5 Steps in Time Blocking

Interview with Sal on e-learning content developmentHi Shahadah, can you share with us how we can benefit from the interactivity in this time blocking example?

Benefit #1: Engagement and Interaction

Sure. Firstly, Interactive e-learning provides learners opportunities to engage and interact with the material. Our interactive elements prompt learner to engagement and interaction throughout the course.

Benefit #2: Real-time debrief and feedback

Interactive e-learning provides learners with immediate feedback on their progress. As a result, this helps them identify their strengths and areas for improvement as they navigate through the course. The interactive nature allows them to make adjustments on the spot and experiment with different responses to challenges.

Benefit #3: Risk-free environment

Interactive e-learning can simulate real-world situations, allowing learners to practice decision-making in a safe environment. Consequently, this reduces the risks associated with real-life scenarios while encouraging learners to make confident decisions.

Benefit #4: Flexibility

One of the greatest benefits of interactive e-learning is its flexibility. Learners can access the content anytime, anywhere, and at their own pace. They can practice as many times as needed.

Interview with Sal on e-learning content developmentI know that interactivity can include branching, how do you implement branching in this time blocking example?

Benefit #5: Branching

In this time blocking example, we use branching to provide different real-time feedback based on the learner’s responses. Learners can learn from their mistakes and actions. Additionally, branching can be used in many areas, allowing them to see how one incorrect decision can completely alter the outcome and understand how their choices lead to consequences and/or rewards.

Interview with Sal on e-learning content developmentCould you show us the time blocking sample?

Sure. We have recorded a video demonstrating how learners interact with the e-learning module.

Interview with Sal on e-learning content developmentGreat, I really enjoyed this sample. Can you sum up what you have shared with us today?

Well, I hope that with this interactivity, we can improve knowledge retention, allowing learners to engage and interact with the material before applying what they’ve learned in real-life situations.
