• Examples of Great Interactivity

    The following links are a collection of examples of how to best leverage the principle of interactivity in e-learning design. If you have any others you'd like to see added to this list, please contact bryan@chapmanalliance.com
    • Interactive Fry Cook
      Interactivity that illustrates how learning can reflect on-the-job skills; this course was a winner of the Interactivity Shootout at Training 2011, created by Allen Interactions
    • Interactive Body (BBC)
      click and drag and discovery exercises that help learners explore the human body
    • Interactivity Sampler (Raptivity)
      Launch the "Interactivity Sampler" to examples of games, scenario-based simulations, discovery exercises, click and label, etc.
    • Media-rich Articulate Lesson
      This course uses media well and shows what a course created in Articulate looks like
    • Frog Dissection - Interactive Content in Articulate
      This example shows how you do more than just page turning in Articulate. Notice how the learner is focused directly on the action instead of being a passive observer
    • Negotation Simulation from Zap Dramatic
      Select the Course Demo "The Print Shop" icon is on the right.
    • Potential energy vs. kinetic energy simulation
      Great example of a learning object. Sets up the question. Uses a simulation to answer the question. Then teaches the fact on the final display.
    • Virtual Knee Surgery
      Great example of linear, procedural simulation, yet the learner is actively involved
    • Crash Scene Investigation
      Procedural simulation, collecting evidence from a car crash. Good mix of information and interaction.
    • Virtual Driving Lessons
      Interactive freeplay - parallel parking, left turns, four-way stops, etc. Cause and effect.
    • Puzzlemaker
      Create paper-based, word puzzles for use in a classroom setting
    • Selling a Home Theater Simulation
      Great example of role play by NexLearn
    • Writing and Understanding Japanese Characters
      Created by Singapore Polytechic; this course helps learners practice brush strokes and improve pronunciation of KATAKANA chacters sets.
    • 3-D Exercises for Travelers Insurance Co.
      Great combination use of very rich 3-D, yet still making exercises interactive to teach the skills in the best possible way.
    • Identifying SAP Transaction Codes
      Good use of a classification exercise with built in motivation (game like). Classification exercises are underutlized in most courses. Could be used for many types of learning.
    • Software Simulation Example
      This software simulation won our 2005 software simulation shootout, where the competitiors had to create a simulation in under 20 minutes. Produce by Adobe. Notice Bryan Chapman is refrenced in the simulation (part of their task).
    • Personalised Care Plans
      Good example of linear flow of simple interactions that will keep learners involved; conversational tone, dialog, good pacing, focusing activities, discovery and interactions. Created by Sponge.
    • The Wealthiest Americans Ever
      This is an excellent example of a discovery exercise. It appears to be one graphic, but it contains a "wealth" (pun intended) of information within a single interaction.
    • Mouse Party
      Interactive exercise for discovering the effects of alcohol and drugs on the brain.
    • Exploring Mars
      Free form gaming experience from the National Geographic
    • Blood Typing
      Quickly test and identify blood type for 3 different patients
