- Descriptions of interactivity that cater to different learning styles.
Key Steps to Complete the Task
- Map out the intended user journey through the module based on your storyboard.
- Develop wireframes or flowcharts that detail how learners will navigate through the content.
- Specify interactive elements such as clickable buttons, hover effects, and decision-based navigation cues.
- Include guidelines for feedback and assessment triggers integrated within the navigation.
Evaluation Criteria
- Clarity and coherence of navigational flow.
- Innovation in using interactive elements to enhance learning.
- Detail and accuracy in the wireframes or flowcharts provided.
- Alignment of navigational design with the module objectives and structure.
The expected effort for this task is 30 to 35 hours. Your DOC file submission should be detailed and fully self-contained so that it stands as an independent guide for building interactive elements. Ensure that every element is carefully annotated and that your design is geared towards maximizing learner engagement using Articulate Storyline 360’s robust interactive capabilities.
Task Objective
This task is centered on planning the integration of visuals, audio, and other multimedia elements into your e-learning module. Your goal is to enhance the learner experience by incorporating elements that not only convey information clearly but also engage multiple senses. The focus should be on selecting media that aligns with the food processing theme and adds educational value via Articulate Storyline 360.
Expected Deliverables
- A DOC file that outlines a detailed strategy for multimedia integration.
- An explanation of the visual design choices, audio cues, and any video or interactive media planned.
- A mock-up or descriptive plan (wireframe-style or list-based) that illustrates where and how these elements will be incorporated.
Key Steps to Complete the Task
- Review the storyboard and identify opportunities where multimedia elements will enhance the learning experience.
- Detail the types of visuals (images, icons, animations), audio (narrations, sound effects), and videos you intend to use.
- Explain the rationale behind using each media type and how these choices will support the instructional design.
- Create a visual plan or layout sketch indicating placement and interaction points for multimedia elements.
Evaluation Criteria
- Relevance and creativity of chosen media elements.
- Clarity in outlining integration strategies that work within Articulate Storyline 360.
- Alignment with overall instructional objectives and content flow.
- Detail in the DOC file, making it a self-sufficient guide for subsequent development stages.
This task requires around 30 to 35 hours of work and necessitates a detailed submission that can clearly communicate your chosen multimedia strategy. Provide thorough explanations and rationale, ensuring that your plan is innovative, instructional, and clearly leverages the features available in Articulate Storyline 360.
Task Objective
This week focuses on incorporating assessments and gamified elements into your virtual food processing e-learning module.
