Ethan Edwards held a webinar this week on 10 Ways to Ruin Your e-Learning—a How-to-Guide in Reverse—highlighting and providing advice and tips to avoid these e-learning design pitfalls:
 
10. Explain every function and nuance of the interface before letting the learner begin.
9. Use the standard “C-Shell” template for screen layout of your lessons.
8. Show a person talking to introduce all textual statements.
7. Score and record every action the user takes.
6. Limit your interactions severely to fit the LMS data standards set by the IT Department.
5. Open the lesson with formal learning objectives.
4. Write e-learning content to be an exhaustive treatment of the field.
3. Dictate learner’s progress and sequence through the lesson.
2. Record verbatim the words that are on the screen.
1. Create e-learning in PowerPoint and import into an authoring tool.
