this end?

Our learners say our e-learning is boring.

There’s too much reading.

What do you think we should do?

I think we should add audio narration reading every word on the slides. That will keep them engaged and help the

auditory learners.

Well, the courses might have too much reading and be boring, but

I don’t think just adding audio narration will help.

Really? Doesn’t e-learning mostly work for visual learners? I read that

on a blog last week. Let’s reach people with all learning styles.

The research doesn’t really support matching content to

learning styles.

It’s a common myth, but we can spend our time doing something

more effective.

Like what? More practice with feedback, for one thing.

We could also look at spacing learning out

over time.

2 Months Later… Yes! I finally finished the practice scenario! This is the best e-learning ever!

Although learners may have preferences and matching content to learning styles might make intuitive sense, you can help your learners more with other strategies like spaced learning and opportunities for practice with feedback.
