Video in eLearning can be great* *and by great we mean expensive****especially if it’s boring
eLearning
• Definition for my demonstration:– Recorded content– or content delivered live via online connection
• Includes: – PDF, PPT & YouTube, LMS Content– Webinars & Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT)
Treat tools as tools
• Learn tools, but study speakers• Instead, follow inspiring speakers– Nancy Duarte
http://www.duarte.com/speaking-engagements/– Steve Jobs– Martin Luther King
Above all, tell stories, engage your audience
WEBINARS AND VILT
Webinars/Live Training
• Audience Poll: – Webinar Hosts– Online training sessions– Successful?– Stressful?– What were the main trouble spots?
Online trainer perks
• It’s cool to train in fuzzy slippers/Ugg boots• No bad hair days• Great office fridge• The Daily Show + DVR = 20 minutes• Exercise before work easy without commute– Tougher to duck getting kids ready for school
Common downsides
• Students do not read hardware and software requirements prior to class
• Ensure– Appropriate hardware– Appropriate software– Use 2 screens
Overhead costs are near zero compared to brick and mortar
• Adobe Connect: $45/month• Overheard at the Sullivan household—
“But sweetheart, that $1,000 monitor will make webinars so much easier…and it’s tax-deductible”
Nearly $0.00
Example of webinar recording
• Cue 8:30 and 11:00 in webinar recording“Publishing to Amazon and iOS”
Online is still a tough sell for many regional clients
• Let’s be real: eye contact is a good thing• They think VILT is 3-6 hours of boring lecture– (Sometimes they’re right)
• Ways to increase interaction– Camera– Screen sharing– Polls– Troubleshooting InterAct
Nobody fills out evaluations after online training is over
• Best way to get an inaccurate evaluation:Force students to fill out eval after conclusion of presentation
• Fill out eval’s prior to start of last lecture period
Definition of an Expert
• One who has done every possible thing wrong
• And (hopefully) has learned from those mistakes
Things I’ve done wrong in VILT
• Rely on a wireless internet connection• Rely on a hotel internet connection• Rely on a hotel wireless internet connection• Speak monontonously
(for more than a few minutes)• Let students hide from you• Refrain from engagement
POWERPOINT & ADOBE PRESENTER
Concept-based training:
Adobe Presenter Defined
• Adobe Presenter publishes PPT as a recorded, interactive module suited for eLearning/LMS
PowerPoint & Presenter are only tools
• Find inspiring examples of presenters and PowerPoint content– Mark Fidleman• http://www.slideshare.net/fidelman
– Jesse Desjardins• http://www.slideshare.net/jessedee/

Use the right tool for the job
• PPT/Presenter = Concepts• Captivate = Software skills• Overlap– Quizzing with scoring, random pools– Publishing– SCORM
Use continuity
• Understand Animation Pane(don’t go crazy)
• Use video and/or .swf where appropriate• Record audio to enhance and/or narrate
Presenter & Captivate in combination
Software Documentation + Concepts Captivate with PPT
Concepts + S/W Documentation Presenter w/placed CPT
Find your cut line
Understand publishing options
• Subtle differences between packages– Assign personas to Presenter skin/player– Captivate is faster at creating many quiz
questions at once
SOFTWARE DEMOS, SIMULATIONS
How do you get to Carnegie Hall?
• Storyboard• Script• Practice, Practice, Practice• Record• Edit (lather, rinse, repeat)• Record audio, edit audio• Publish
Recording only 2% of total time spent on project
• So record with PURPOSE– Understand your script– Make precise clicks– Avoid mistakes
Best Practices
• It’s easier to delete than to create– When in doubt, capture it!• Text captions• Transition slides
• One thing at a time– Recording in audio in real time is tough– Use computer gen audio to
work out scripts
Understand Defaults and Pref’s
• Eliminate– Repetitive formatting– Cumbersome content
• Rely on previous assets/styles
Recap
• Regardless of method– Tell a good story, be accessible– Make your audience the hero– Define “What is”– Show “What could be”
