Why is Engaging Content a Key Part of eLearning?

The use of specific pictorial components, infographics, and audio-visual clips to accompany texts that illustrate concepts or hypotheses make learning enjoyable and promote various learning types.

FREMONT, CA: Digital learning is quickly becoming an essential part of the learning process. It's no longer a nice-to-have facility but rather a must in the post-COVID-19 setting. A growing number of educational institutions, both public and private, are making the transition to eLearning a priority to ensure continuity of learning, digital learning content, distribution, and efficacy. To create and execute impressive online learning services, curriculum creators and instructors need to recognize the value of engaging content in remote learning.

Key Attributes of Engaging Content

Creating engaging content is a practice-driven craft. Knowing what separates interactive content from verbose text pages is essential for a more attractive learning materials layout. Here are some essential features that are worth mentioning.

Visual Appeal

Even the most convincing material can repel ardent readers if it is not well presented. Visual material must be simple on the eye, enabling learners to click through the lessons without experiencing the pressure of moving to the next page. The use of specific pictorial components, infographics, and audio-visual clips to accompany texts that illustrate concepts or hypotheses make learning enjoyable and promote various learning types.

Concise and Relevant

The crisp material delivered in plain language also catches the interest of the learners. Topic-specific words and jargons are exceptions, of course, but the wording must be following the level of comprehension or subject knowledge of the intended audience. Concise, brief bits of the material become more interesting as they appeal to the learners' average attention span. They also promote improved information assimilation and recall.

Interaction

It is the conversations in a typical classroom that make routine lessons enjoyable and entertaining. Interactivity promotes engagement and participation, holding students engaged in the learning process. Digital material in various forms encourages the involvement of learners by encouraging varying degrees of interactivity:

• Basic navigation through the course.

• Option for exploring new content (listen to podcasts, watch videos, and so on)

• Easy, advanced animated content.

• Gamified learning and simulation
