4.10 Graphics and Audio - what doesn't work |
Just because you can create audio and graphics does not mean they are effective!
- Automatic simulations, movies, and Power Point to Flash
- The average person will stay on a movie for two minutes. If you have a 10 minute movie you will need to break it into five - two minute segments.
- Never have an automatic simulation, movie or presentation go longer then 5 minutes.
- Audio
- People become frustrated when the audio they are listening to is different then the words on the screen.
- People stop paying attention to an elearning class if the words on the screen are being read to them.
- Text
- Flying bullets and drop down text works in a Power Point presentation
- Learners read much faster then we speak. Learners HATE courses where the need to wait for the text to fly in or drop down.
