Edge and Emotion - What e-Learning Programs Are Missing

Great article in the Learning Solutions e-magazine.

Here are the key points:
1. Create a great and memorable beginning. The first slide is key! Avoid using a typical opening slide and never use bulleted lists. The first screen participants see is the most important vis-a-vis engaging participants.
2. Build anticipation.
3. Use rich evocative language...not stiff and formal.
4. Start with a question--can be rhetorical.
5. Photos rather than clip art.
6. Make it aesthetically pleasing. And learn how to use color.
