62 Tips from the e-Learning Guild

"Here’s a link to a wonderful, FREE ebook download from the eLearning Guild.  It contains valuable insight from our text book writer, Ruth Clark as well as many other professionals.
My favorite quotes (copied below) address motivating learners and designing for mobile devices.
'Start with a question: Training needs to be relevant, so online courses have to provide useful information. When designing a course, think about what problem it is going to solve. Ask a question. Explain what’s in it for them.'  -Monica Savage
'Fingers and thumbs are far less accurate and finite than a mouse pointer. Design for human clumsiness by making buttons and hotspots, etc., big enough to be easily touched. Apple’s design standards specify 44x44 points as 'the comfortable minimum size of a tappable UI element.' Make your selectable page elements too small (or put them too close together) and you’ll likely create frustration for your learner.'  - Chris Van Wingerden
