4. Learn How To Use Surveys To Ask Questions And Personalize Content
Tapping into learners’ behaviors and trends is a powerful thing, as we’ve written about before in our previous article on analytics and data. But did you know you can use surveys to dig even deeper into your audiences’ needs, wants and opinions?
Why take this course:
- Learn how to use surveys to ask your audience questions, and then personalize content to meet their needs.
- Find out how other organizations are using surveys to personalize learning content.
5. Quality Assurance: How To Do It And What To Look For
A robust QA process means less work for your reviewers and stakeholders, quicker sign-off and more time to focus on enhancing the experience rather than fixing mistakes.
More importantly, the lack of good QA risks causing your audience to (at best) lose interest or (at worst) cast your content aside in frustration.
Why take this course:
- High standards are important; learn how to check your content before release to eliminate any unexpected errors or bugs.
- Learn how to focus on enhancing course content rather than simply fixing course errors.
- Take a look at some practical examples that show how to correctly QA a project.
