So: why might this course inspire enmity? Is it that we, sitting out of context, observe that "welcome" and "greet" could mean the same thing? Or is it that the feedback isn't sufficient enough to remind us of the nuances between "welcome" and "greet?" I imagine that the course discussed that nuance either in a long swath of bulleted text, or within some background VO for a video of smiling employees. But at the point in the course, the key element that is missing is the solid feedback reminding the learners of the difference between "welcome" and "greet." We snicker at the infinitesimal difference between "welcome" and "greet," maybe even respond with a well-placed The Office meme. But what's at the heart of this "hatred" of eLearning is that the feedback appears to chastise (we can't discern tone in text), rather than coach and explain the nuance the organization wishes were clear. Feedback is hard to do right in person. We should give it much more attention in our eLearning.

Pictures are worth a thousand words, and even though this picture uses words to communicate, it completely illustrates why I got into instructional design. So much of employee training is "check the box" - questions to ensure that participants paid attention to the footnotes, but not ones that reinforced the key concepts. Training gets a bad rep because questions like the one below (and those "Did you read that parenthetical on slide 847?") are such a waste of time. But it doesn't need to be that way! As instructional designers, we must always approach our work with the learner in mind. Is it meaningful? Is it worth the learner's time? Does it reinforce the things that the learner likely didn't know coming into the training, but will need to know when exiting? Does it allow the learner to practice and assess their knowledge in the way they will use it? Or, is it just like the trainings you went through that you hated?
