Using Visual Feedback To Simplify eLearning Content Development

eLearning content development is a collaborative process, and involves multiple stakeholders, including Instructional Designers, web developers, graphics designers, and content writers. In addition to this, the eLearning content development team must also work together with Subject Matter Experts and customers. All of these stakeholders must work together to create the course, while moving from one stage to another, and reviewing it multiple times throughout the development process.

eLearning course production involves a lot of visual feedback on each slide of the course. The stakeholders need to make sure that everything, from content to colors, to fonts, to buttons, and more, is consistent and functioning correctly.

“Iteration is great. Lengthy email exchanges, not so much.”

Now, this can be tedious and exasperating at times. Every time you find an issue that needs to be fixed, you must take a screenshot of the slide, add your comments to it, and send it over through email or enter it in a bug-tracking system for it be fixed. It’s obvious how inefficient that is. Nobody likes lengthy email exchanges, and entering each issue manually in a bug-tracking system can become very tedious.

This is a daunting game, and you gotta have a team to play it. So what can you do to ensure efficient teamwork and win the game?
