E-Learning Instructional and Graphic Design
Best Practices,
September 16 & 17

Our September Forum, E-Learning Instructional and Graphic Design Best Practices, will examine both the structure of e-Learning content (instructional design) and its look and feel (graphic design). Often, we put the most effort into the former — making sure we teach the right topics in the correct order — but we neglect the latter. Good instructional design is critical, but no matter how good the content, the learners need to be able to navigate the course easily. In this Forum you will learn techniques for designing the content, and how to best present that content to ensure that the learners learn!

REGISTER NOW. Remember, ONLINE FORUMS ARE FREE to Member-Plus and Premium members.
