Weekly Recap: 15 E-learning Tips and Ideas to Break in the New Year
Jan72013
The ball dropped a week ago, but that hasn’t slowed down the Articulate community.
In fact, your fellow community members continue ringing in the new year by helping one another tackle the most common e-learning resolutions:
- Lose (course) weight: There’s never been a better time to tighten the timeline and reduce bloated courses.
- Get (inter) active: Exercise your e-learning muscles by learning new ways to avoid linear, passive courses.
- Save (development) money: Course budgets are tighter than ever—we get that. That’s why we’re always adding free assets and templates to help you shorten development times.
- Reduce (bullet point) stress: There’s no reason to use smaller font sizes to fit text on your slides. Instead, try some of these creative ways for reducing on-screen text.
- Spend more time with the (Articulate) family: No matter how busy you get, you’ll always feel welcome in E-Learning Heroes.
