Objective
Develop a functional prototype that demonstrates the integration of interactive elements using Articulate Storyline 360 features. This task focuses on the technical execution and visual design of the interactive components within an e-learning module.
Task Description
You are tasked with identifying and planning at least three distinct interactive components that enhance learner engagement. These components can include drag-and-drop exercises, interactive quizzes, scenario simulations, branching scenarios, or other multimedia interactions. You will describe each chosen element in a DOC file, explaining its purpose, expected learner interaction, and how it fits within the overall module design. Your documentation should detail the technical steps needed to implement each interactive element in Articulate Storyline 360, while ensuring they align with the course's learning objectives.
Expected Deliverables
- A DOC file detailing the selected interactive elements.
- A comprehensive guide on the technical implementation and design rationale for each interactive feature.
Key Steps
- Identify three interactive features that can be implemented in Articulate Storyline 360.
- Research design principles and technical guidelines related to these interactive components.
- Draft a DOC file that describes each component, including expected user interactions, design layout, and technical implementation instructions.
- Provide a summary of how these elements integrate with overall learning objectives and enhance learner engagement.
Evaluation Criteria
Evaluation will be based on the clarity and depth of your technical descriptions, understanding of interactive design, relevance to learning outcomes, and the ingenuity behind the chosen elements. The document should be well-structured, technically detailed, and display a strong alignment between interactive technology and instructional design. Estimated time to complete: 30 to 35 hours.
Objective
Design a pilot testing plan for your e-learning module, focusing on usability and interactive performance using Articulate Storyline 360 features.
Task Description
This task requires you to develop a pilot testing strategy to evaluate the usability and effectiveness of your interactive e-learning module. The focus should be on identifying potential issues, areas for improvement, and assessing learner engagement. Document your planned testing methodology, including detailed test cases, target demographics for pilot testing, anticipated outcomes, and feedback collection methods. You should propose a framework to analyze the collected data and suggest modifications based on the pilot results.
Expected Deliverables
- A DOC file containing the detailed pilot testing plan and usability evaluation strategy.
- Sections detailing test cases, feedback procedures, and planned analysis techniques.
Key Steps
- Define the key usability indicators and performance metrics for your module.
- Draft usability test cases that simulate typical user interactions.
- Outline the feedback collection methods and data analysis approach.
- Compile these elements into a comprehensive DOC file, including an overview of contingency plans for addressing identified issues.
Evaluation Criteria
Your submission will be judged on the comprehensiveness of the testing plan, clarity in describing test cases and usability metrics, feasibility of feedback collection methods, and the robustness of the analysis framework. The plan should be laid out in a clear, organized manner with attention to both technical and user-centered design aspects. Estimated time to complete: 30 to 35 hours.
Objective
Conduct a detailed evaluation and propose iterative enhancements for your e-learning module, focusing on performance, engagement, and content usability using Articulate Storyline 360.
Task Description
