Teaches about safety and decision making

It is unfortunate that this happens, but experience shows us that learners try to circumvent or trick the learning process or "cheat" the elearning compliance course.

Learners learn by trial and error. Which is better - trial and error or scientific learning? Why?

Are you forcing learners to memorize content with no meaning to them? Are you training them to answer questions blindly and not apply content test to realize situations?

Which type of presenter are you? The economics professor from Ferris Bueller or the science professor Richard Feynman?

Theory ? - definitely needed. Translating this to real-life applications? - absolutely possible. How?

There is an old saying that says "people learn the hard way." There is a lot of truth to that in eLearning design.

Learners tend to pay attention to extremes - the absurd, ridiculous, incredulous - some form of exaggeration. The entertainment certainly helps.

In many instances, trainers and elearning designers forget that people are reminded of the right way by seeing the wrong way.

A few months ago, there was a movie, "Jiro Dreams of Sushi". It is a story on how to keep our skills and craft. It is moving and motivational.

What would be your world if you have conversations with Carl Sagan (astrophysicist), Seymour Papert (cognitive scientist), Gordon Moore (founder of Intel) or Steve Jobs?

Do you know that with an iPhone app you can walk to the Apple store, scan the price in iPhone and pay with your iPhone without having to talk with a cashier?

Oftentimes, the stories of non-compliance are right in front of us. Although some may find it unsuitable to their company because of sensitivities and legal constraints, citing court rulings and administrative penalties and judgment demonstrate clearly why compliance elearning is a must for learners.

Small examples of stories in a lesson demonstrate to leaders, decision makers and bosses how stories impact learning.

Parody is a good method to use in content where it is both a reminder and refresher course.
