Explore Learning Activities for Online Spaces
This look book offers examples of learning activities that can be used to brainstorm ideas when developing online or hybrid trainings. Taken from various online modules, this look book shares activity templates across instructional design team members. If you have questions or ideas, please contact the WCWPDS instructional design team. To use the look book examples for your next training, click the button below to access the files on Box Drive.
Click on the titles below to explore each activity type.
Drag & Drop
Drag and Drop activities in Storyline allow users the opportunity to make decisions and engage with course content. They can be used for scenarios, image identification, ordering, matching, and sorting.
Hot Spot Activity
This interaction uses hotspots to help learners visualize the four categories of cases.
Videos with Quiz
Videos can be embedded in Storyline and quiz questions can be used to check or enhance learning. The examples below show various types of quiz options that are a useful addition to a module with videos.
Interactive Audio
Two examples of interactive audio. The first models working with a child to create a connection map, which distinct audio for each stage of the conversation.
The second is allow the learner to click on and hear testimonials; from caseworkers who have used permanency tools with youth and families.
Interacting with Content
Storyline allows users more interactivity than they would get when only viewing a video or PowerPoint. The examples below show different ways information can be displayed to enhance interaction with training content.
Scenarios
Scenarios are a valuable way to apply new information to real-life examples. Storyline has many options for displaying and interacting with scenarios. The examples below will give you some great ideas.
Self-Care Interactive Story
This simple branching scenario allows users to explore the benefits of self-care and the consequences for work and life when self-care is not prioritized. This is a simple “happy path” scenario that detects when learners have strayed from the best path and steers them back to the correct path, providing feedback and information to help them make better decisions as the scenario progresses.
Text-Entry
Text-entry allows you to create freeform text-entry questions/fill-in-the-blank assessments. Another use is to have users type a long-form answer. Then, later in the training, the module can show their answer again. Users can then reflect on what they have learned since their original answer. A final use for text-entry is to have users type in their name. The name can then be added to other slides for a more personalized learning experience.
Timelines
Timelines are a great way to present chronological or sequenced information in a single interaction. They are also highly interactive in Storyline.
