Template Caveat
Templates are a slippery slope. When managers discover how quick and easy it is to use them, they immediately assume that good training can be developed using them. This is not always the case.
While so much learning is procedural and linear, life is rarely so ordered.
My suggestion is to use these tools sparingly, mix them up in individual SCOs, and above all maintain some sort of call to action and interaction on almost every screen.
Now, with mobile learning taking the lead in delivery, we no longer have to worry so much about scrolling. This means that the page is no longer limited to screen size. Now what? What template do you use?
One thing is for sure, it's going to be a bump ride.
Oh, by the way, is there any way to have a peer edit for spelling, grammar, and punctuation before an article is posted? We ought to be helping our colleagues (for whom English is not a primary language) communicate best.
