Click, Swipe, Learn: Crafting Interactive Content That Works
Most training looks polished yet forgettable; this one shows how to make learning unforgettable by design. This episode breaks down five practical strategies that turn passive content into active skill-building: set laser-clear objectives, transform quizzes into decision practice with rich feedback, build shallow but meaningful branching scenarios, introduce lightweight simulations that let learners try again without fear, and bake accessibility and UDL into every step so engagement is equitable, not exclusive.
