As instructional designers, we can’t help that we want to inform, be helpful, and be instructive!?What we often fail to realize is how boring that style of writing comes across as in a course and how disengaging it can be for a learner.?Instead, we need to learn to separate our instructional efforts (in the design of the course) from our narrative writing (creating the experience of the course).
In this pre-recorded webinar by the?eLearning Brothers , you can learn through real examples of common course elements that get “borified” by our instructional instincts and how to rewrite them in a way that creates an experience for the learner that is more engaging, immersive, and learner-focused .?

Articulate has curated a fantastic list of?things to consider when creating online training .?Bonus:?most sections/topics include multiple resources to support you!
