ELearning without end

If you’ve been sitting behind your laptop for 20 minutes and don’t know how long your e-learning will last, it can be quite frustrating. Especially if you have a packed schedule with several deadlines and tasks that need to be completed today. This can lead to mindlessly clicking through or even closing the session. That’s a shame and completely unnecessary. With these tips, you can provide clarity to the participant:

Break it into pieces
Make it clear where the participant is in the eLearning. This can be done in various ways.

Tip 1: Work with chapters
Introduce chapters. Make sure the chapters are all roughly the same length. You create unrealistic expectations if someone quickly goes through the first three chapters and then encounters a large amount of information in chapter four.

Tip 2: Add page numbers
Knowing you are on page 24 does not mean much, but being on page 24 of 30 tells you you are almost there. Using chapter page numbers can also make progress feel more manageable. If 228 pages seem daunting, break it into four sections. Four times 57 sounds much more manageable.

Tip 3: Use a progress bar
You can use the same trick with a progress bar, at the course level or chapter level. Let the bar fill up from 0 to 100%, and the participant will understand where they stand.

Make it clear
Completing small steps – whether they are chapters or pages – provides a better learning experience.Participants like to have an endpoint in sight.
