From: Marigold the 2nd on 11 Jan 2008 02:41 I'm developing a piece for a law company that entails explaining lots of chunks of legal jargon. Unfortunately, the learners have[i]Text[/i] to learn it. Does anyone have any ideas about how I can make the learning interactive so that it's not just like a glorified Powerpoint presentation?
From: Amy Blankenship-Adobe Community Expert on 11 Jan 2008 09:46 Depending on what the subject is, you could present it as a series of scenarios. Are they learning what they are supposed to do in certain situations as a result of legal principals?

Scenarios is a good idea. An even better way to present those is with video - if their budget allows for it. Present the information with a video demonstrating a specific concept. Then as a quiz, play the video up to the point where the user has to make a decision. After their decision, you could either continue with video that relates to that decision, or just inform them of the likely result of that decision. Or perhaps you ask the user to click a button, person, or object as soon as they see something that runs counter to the information you just presented. However and again, video is expensive. As an alternative, if you have the resources and/or skills, you could present much the same via animated characters instead.
