Are you concerned about pesky imperfections lingering in your eLearning courses? Hasty development, subject matter expert (SME) neglect, and prolonged learning management system (LMS) exposure are just a few of the reasons designers put their courses under the knife.

The good news is that you have a number of less-invasive options available that don’t require full-course reconstruction. Cosmetic changes such as graphic peels, slide reshaping, text reduction, and test augmentation are just a few ways to revitalize your slides and boost your course esteem. Using a simple yet powerful process, participants in this session will learn a proven method for visually copyediting your slides to improve the format, style, and accuracy of your slide designs.

In this session, you will learn:

To identify the five design elements in every slide
How to apply the Five-point Makeover Process to any slide—PowerPoint or eLearning
How to create a visual style guide for your own eLearning slides and presentations

Note: As a bonus, participants are invited to send David your course by October 31, 2013, and he will rework your slides using the Five-point Makeover Process. Email David for details.
