Elearning Heroes Challenges
The challenges posed to the Articulate Elearning Heroes community has allowed me to stretch my course authoring skills (slider and dial interactions, Javascript, etc) to add into my professional toolkit. Plus, they are a whole lot of fun!
NOTE: Many of these were developed quickly as proof of concepts so some demos are more functional than others.
What I’ve Done
AUSTENLAND
This interaction, and interactive tour of the locations in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice became an exploration of aa progress meter. After a location was visited, a simulated selfie in the current day locale was evidence of progress. Additionally, I drew all the graphics for this module myself, purposely making them look hand-drawn.
Barista Challenge
This module is a good example of how I like to throw learners into the deep end of the pool. Instead of a boring instruction video (or other type tutorial), a would-be barrista plays with sliders to get the proportions of coffee, milk, and foam just right. Feedback comes in the form of a happy customer (or not). A slide out resource job aid was provided for people to consult, if needed.
This challenge had to account for something like 60 different combinations, so the use of variables was key!
Two lies and a truth
This is a fun little re-working of Two Truths and One Lie. I used it to try out some basic animation skills (the door opens and the pool of light in the room grows.)
From an instructional standpoint, the module requires immediate application of knowledge and provides feedback.
