Enable virtual learners by providing usable and accessible technology, and by teaching virtual learners how to use the educational technology.
How do you design collaborative exercises for virtual learners? This critical environmental factor is a stumbling block for instructional designers.
As with any other good design principles, there are human characteristics deeply involved here.
Richard Buchanan, a professor of Design, Management and Information Systems, said it best: “a good design can be defined not only to be creative, stylish with extraordinary visual look, but it must consider human engagement in its activities.”
Below are 5 golden rules to help you achieve a high-quality instructional design:

Make sure your application training is more than a demonstration. Design collaborative exercises that exploit this feature in your virtual classroom.

A common misconception is that eLearning materials can be simply transferred into mLearning courses. However, during the transfer, it is necessary to rethink the entire instructional design: mobile learning requires minimalism, it focuses on granular design, and it must be instructionally solid to provide a satisfying user experience graphically, navigationally, and cognitively.
“Critics say there is no evidence that identifying an individual student's learning style produces better outcomes.” But why then, do so many e-Learning designers cite the importance of addressing learning styles in designs, and why do the collective ‘rest of us’ seem to buy into it?
It's so easy to assume that information is all that matters. The truth is, how such information was presented or formatted affects its effectiveness. The design of the screen, for instance, influences how students interact with information. Is the interface cluttered? Or is it designed to properly guide learners toward clear goals?
When you first start creating an eLearning course, you aren't sure what to expect. You're jumping in blind and hoping for the best. Soon you’ll start facing different challenges every day, and in many ways these do not differ too much from the challenges any teacher faces when contemplating how best to hold the learner's interest in the classroom.
So, identify your mistakes and do something about them. Here are five things you shouldn't be doing with your eLearning content:
