New Challenges
We’re making more eLearning ourselves
There are more options for what we can create
There’s a push for “interactivity”

mean?
Clicking buttons doesn’t make your eLearning more engaging
Your real challenge

Creating eLearning that
actually increases engagement for your learner

Planning
Design
Delivery
