A before/after e-learning module in Adobe Captivate that walks teachers-turned-designers from a bad slide to an okay one.
A self-paced module in Serbian, aimed at teachers transitioning into instructional design. The pedagogy is the content: see a common bad slide, then redesign it live against Mayer’s principles.
Instead of explaining each principle abstractly, every principle appears as a redesign of the same slide. The learner watches — and sometimes does — the chunking, the redundancy removal, the signalling. The payoff is cumulative: by the end, the slide looks unrecognizable next to its opening state.
Teachers entering ID almost never struggle with pedagogy. They struggle with visual design and chunking information in self-paced formats. This module targets exactly that gap, with the bad slide as the honest starting point.
