Poor e-Learning Design: Kineo’s Interview with Donald Clark
e-Learning Design can be Better - Donald Clark of Ufi Tells Kineo. ‘There’s no question that what separates the good from the great in e-learning is the quality of design – and there’s not that much great design around. So says Donald Clark, board member of Ufi, in a new podcast interview with Kineo. Kineo, the leading rapid e-learning company, conducts regular podcast interviews with leaders in learning and technology. Donald Clark, an industry veteran and ex-CEO of Epic well known for his direct and uncompromising views, is as insightful and controversial as ever in this week’s podcast interview, available now on the Kineo website. Why is so much of e-learning such a disappointment? That was just one of the questions posed by Stephen Walsh, Kineo partner, to Donald Clark. At the core of his answer: poor quality design. As he put it: “Much e-learning is based on staid and outdated models…it’s a shame that so many e-learning designers have gotten stuck in a rut. Gagné, the man who said you have to have learning objectives at the start of every course? If that’s your view, you don’t deserve to be listened to. We know a lot about how the brain works: attention grabbing, cognitive overload, memory…but hardly any of that is taken seriously…instead the industry slavishly follows 50 year-old models”.’
