Patricia Cruz's curator insight, September 16, 2023 4:50 PM
When creating content we must think who you are creating the content for. I feel that PowerPoint is a good tool used for eLearning content. I utilize PowerPoint in many of my learning videos for learners of all ages. We must keep in mind on how we will present content so that the learner stay engaged and interested. Utilizing a variety of learning styles is also important.

Web Platform Gives Students an Alternative to the ‘Wall of Text’

Web Platform Gives Students an Alternative to the ‘Wall of Text’ | Distance Learning, mLearning, Digital Education, Technology | Scoop.it

"It’s difficult to keep students engaged — and awake — when assigning them readings from long and often dull textbooks. Two researchers wanted to change that.

 

Their creation is zyBooks, a web-based platform that mixes learning activities such as question sets and animations with some written content, largely as a replacement for text. The idea is that professors can use zyBooks instead of traditional textbooks in order to help students engage with the material and perform better."
