Most courses on the web fall into one of the following three classifications:
Class 1: Annotated PowerPoint
PowerPoint is not eLearning. It is a presentation online (yes, it is still just a presentation online even if you add audio and make it an automatic Flash presentation).
- Does not adhere to best of breed web characteristics.
- What would you think if you went to a web site that was made out of PowerPoint?
- Class 2: Daisy chained web or graphic pages
- Does not adhere to best of breed web characteristics.
- Is just a fancier version of PowerPoint.
- Class 3: Expensive, highly produced web training
- If done right is great, but can be very expensive.
