However, you have some capabilities not available in print
media such as animation, sound, and zoom effects
Animation is another feature that can be used to present
processes that involve equipment or other elements that
can be graphically illustrated in multimedia
Allow the learner to control the rate of presentation of
information by using a series of static displays or, if using
animation, allow learners to control presentation rate
between state changes. In addition, use audio to describe
stages, especially in complex visual displays such as animations
Simulations can also be used to illustrate processes. In a
simulation the learner interacts with a program that
emulates the real process and learns about it in an
interactive way
9. Practice Methods for Processes
Practice should be designed to match the learning objective
at the application rather than the remember level
The key to the design of process exercises for employees
involved in problem solving is to collect realistic case
studies of common malfunctions, customer questions, and
so forth that can be converted into practice exercises
10. Evaluating Learning of Process Knowledge
First, consider your instructional objective. If the major
objective is to perform a task and the process information is
provided as background information, you need not write a
learning objective or provide practice or evaluate learning
However, if the process knowledge is critical to task
performance or is the major intended outcome of the lesson,
evaluation is needed
Use formats similar to the practice exercises you have designed
