Date: April 22, 2014
Time: 2:00 p.m. – 3:30 p.m.

Did you learn that your tutorials should open with a list of objectives? Or perhaps, you learned that you need to have knowledge checks embedded throughout your tutorial. Have you created a tutorial with multimedia features like text and narration? These traditional guidelines are rooted in pedagogical techniques that have worked well in the face-to-face classroom but have not necessarily been as effective in the online environment. In this webcast, the presenters will draw upon the latest research in instructional design and e-learning to show how we can break the rules that have lead us down the path of ineffective and often ignored content.

Learning Outcomes:

•     Participants will identify new theories and best practices in instructional design in order to create effective and engaging tutorials.
•     Participants will describe 10 historical guidelines that are no longer relevant in order to avoid common tutorial design pitfalls.
•     Participants will be able to evaluate several tutorials in order to create more effective means of information delivery for instruction.
