    Using audio in eLearning

    Audio is becoming increasingly important and expected in modern day eLearning. Audio provides the ability to verbally explain to the learner a concept or used as supporting instructions on a page. When compared to text, images or video it does have some advantages, for example video can look great on screen and be very eye-catching got the learner, however it can also be very costly and time consuming to produce, edit and publish.

    Customer Service - It's Just Too Important

    Customer service is incredibly important to me. Frankly, it’s more important to me than the product or service itself. It is actually possible for those two sentences, to be my blog’s beginning, middle and end. But that wouldn’t be very much fun would it? Every time I “enjoy” a poor customer service experience, I recoil and remember, just how important it really is. I have made more decisions than I care to admit, exclusively because the service was so poor, I could not conti

    Utilizing sound effects in eLearning Modules

    Reflecting on the majority of eLearning modules, in most cases the use of Sound Effects (SFX) weren’t utilized. SFX can be a great and underused tool, presenting information and emphasising it via an audio cue, that will alert the user and garner their attention. Some clients have expressed that SFX take away attention from the Voice Over, however, I feel as though this is not true if the SFX are used to enhance and emphasis the key points within your eLearning modules.

    Blended Learning - Especially For Important Messages

    As I sat down to write this entry, I found my inspiration coming from an unlikely source... a simple client project. This particular Pathways partner always utilizes a blended approach to learning. Each departmental curriculum we've supported them in creating, has used multiple mediums to drive maximum learner engagement and knowledge transfer, as participants navigate their programs (onboarding, health and safety etc.). So what? Fair enough. There isn't anything particularly
