E-learning is growing so popular all through the globe that almost every day we see many new projects initiated by the prominent educational institutions. The success of e-learning programmes is chiefly due to the lucid and simple design of curriculum and enormous flexibility one can enjoy around his course curriculum. All-round simplicity marks the huge popularity of e-learning in every sphere of learning.

Another factor playing vital behind the wide acceptance of e-learning is its lucid course content. People expect their e-learning courses to be very easily fit around their lives. So, the course content of e-learning programs must be kept as simple and user-friendly as possible. Equally important is the mobility and compatibility of online technologies that are employed in delivering course content. They should be always easy to handle and easy to access.

Let’s focus on some of the tools that can be best used to design e-learning courses:

Choose the perfect LCMS

Your wrong selection of learning content management system can take you to a trouble zone. You will have problem in integrating instructors, content tools, student comprehension and many more things. So, be absolutely careful choosing your LCMS.

Ensure your LCMS’ compatibility with MOODLE and other LMS

If you want a smooth and undisturbed process of online learning you must ensure the compatible integration between your LCMS and other LMS products.

Take careful measure in text properties

Your text content must be easily legible to the audience, so take special care of typographical characters and font sizes. You should give perfect format to your text content as well, so that everyone feels attracted to go through them.

Keep your content design attractive

Attractiveness is a vital issue in grabbing the attention of your audience, so you must design your course well-designed and well-composed.

Understand your target audience

Understanding the taste and need of your audience is essentially important to make your course successful. You need to have deep insight about the requirement of your audiences to see your course successfully going.

 Inspire participation

Every technical as well as pedagogical measure may turn fruitless if you cannot inspire your audience to actively participate in the learning process. Offer chance to external participation from different area of knowledge, as well, to enrich your curriculum.

Remain up-to-date with content authoring tools

Although it is pretty tough to make extensive use of all your tools at once, initiatives must be there to keep tabs on tools at newsletters, popular blogs, magazines and other prominent websites. You will get many good resources of potential audiences through these measures.   

    

Offer a free trial

Free trial ensures trust from the audience’s part. Once they become sure of the quality of the course content they will spontaneously jump for it. So, do not hesitate to offer free trials. It actually shows honesty from a course provider’s side.

Get more expert faculty

Expert faculty are the life of any course content, so be always enthusiastic to get more expert faculty for your e-learning course, who can deliver the best possible knowledge to your e-learners.
