Looking for inspiration on how to structure your module? Look no further.
It can be challenging to know how much content you should have in each slide, whether to use a picture or a GIF and when to involve an interaction. To make your life easier, we have therefore concluded all of our best tips on how to structure your module in this article 😇
Step 1 - The Introduction
Introduce the module to the user by shortly explaining what the module is about, why they are taking this learning as well as for how long it will take. For this you should use the "Estimated completion time" in the settings.
Step 2 - The Topic
Start diving into the topic - But! Be aware not to overwhelm your users. Limit yourself to 50-60 words per slide to make the information easier to comprehend.
A good guideline is to also limit yourself to 1-2 core messages you want to get across to your users from each slide.
Step 3 - Interaction
Make sure you don't just present information. Include different interactions with instant feedback ever 5-6 slides to make sure your users are understanding the information and taking in the knowledge.
Step 4 - Summary
End the module by summarising what they have learned in the previous slides. A good idea would be to do this by using an interaction! Try to limit yourself to summarise with 3-5 key takeaways from the entire module.
Step 5 - The outro
Thank the learners for taking their time, and if you have another module following, make a nice bridge to the next learning - Lead learners by the hand.
