3. Passive Learning
Most e learning courses purpose is to share
information or change/improve job role
performance.
However, most courses
focuses on sharing information rather than
performance improvements. This happens because
most people focus on delivering content rather than
on changing job role performance.

4. Passive Learning
• Slabs of Text
• Multiple Choice Questions
• Few opportunities to apply knowledge
• Poor demonstration of skills
• No supporting resources
• Fail to exploit nature of the web with
multimedia
• Working sole, without access to other
learners.
• No facilitation or group sessions online

5. Passive Learning
• Slabs of Text
• Reading is best done offline.
• Many elearning courses require a
lot of reading. If most of your
course is text-based, find a solution
that best supports reading rather
than building a course

6. Cathy Moore
•Don’t create a course unless it’s really necessary and
useful.
•Write activities in which a character faces a realistic
challenge.
•Put the information outside the course.
•Use the course to show how to use the job aids.
•Let the activities, not the content, drive the design.
