Breakout Session: Considerations in Developing Interactive eLearning
The best interactions are those where your learner is free to make mistakes, try again, and really explore. However, on the designer end, the more complicated the interaction and the more space you give a learner to make mistakes, the more you have to consider in development. In this session, you’ll learn how to layer Lectora-provided questions and developer-created variables to create scenario-based interactions that give learners freedom while accounting for and responding to learners’ actions. The session will focus on one interaction in particular, discussing step-by-step the considerations in development, and then show other interactions where the same ideas and development were used.
