1 Know your learners

Before you start designing your e-learning materials, you need to know who your learners are, what their goals and needs are, and what their prior knowledge and skills are. This will help you tailor your e-learning materials to their level of readiness and interest. You can use various methods to assess your learners, such as surveys, quizzes, interviews, or observations. You can also use learner personas or profiles to represent your typical or ideal learners and their characteristics.

2 Define your learning objectives

Once you know your learners, you need to define your learning objectives. What do you want your learners to achieve by the end of your e-learning materials? What knowledge, skills, or attitudes do you want them to acquire or improve? Your learning objectives should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART). They should also align with your learners' goals and needs, and the content and context of your e-learning materials.

3 Choose your content and activities

After you define your learning objectives, you need to choose your content and activities. Your content should be relevant, accurate, and up-to-date. It should also be organized and presented in a clear and logical way. Your activities should be engaging, interactive, and meaningful. They should also match your learning objectives and your learners' level of challenge and difficulty. You can use various types of activities, such as quizzes, games, simulations, scenarios, case studies, or projects.

4 Apply the principles of cognitive load theory

When designing e-learning materials, it’s important to consider the cognitive load of your learners. Cognitive load is the amount of mental effort required to process and learn information. If it’s too high, learners may feel overwhelmed and frustrated; too low, and they may feel bored and disengaged. To balance the cognitive load, you can apply principles of cognitive load theory, such as reducing extraneous load by minimizing irrelevant content and providing clear instructions. You can manage intrinsic load by breaking down complex content into smaller chunks and scaffolding and sequencing activities. To increase germane load, stimulate curiosity and motivation with varied and challenging activities, as well as encourage learners to apply, reflect, and transfer their learning.

5 Adjust your e-learning materials according to feedback and data

Finally, you need to adjust your e-learning materials according to feedback and data. You can collect feedback and data from your learners, your peers, or yourself. You can use various tools and methods to collect feedback and data, such as surveys, interviews, focus groups, analytics, or testing. You can use the feedback and data to evaluate the effectiveness and quality of your e-learning materials, and to identify and address any issues or gaps. You can also use the feedback and data to improve and update your e-learning materials, and to personalize and differentiate them for your learners.

I think deciding the learning objective and knowing your learners are intertwined and go hand-in-hand as processes in designing e-learning materials with appropriate levels of challenge and difficulty. Clear objectives guide content relevance and depth, while knowing learners allows tailoring challenges to their skills, fostering engagement without overwhelming them. This synergy ensures effective, accessible learning experiences that progress efficiently, especially with e-learning materials.
