  1. RLT Template Training October 2, 2012

  2. Agenda • Review of the 11 Existing Templates (including your questions) 1:00-2:45 • Suggestions/Feedback on Templates 2:45-3:00

  3. Definitions/Term Clarification • Slide: The template which can be composed of one or more panels • Panel: Sub-unit of the slides • Component: linked SWF on a slide/panel • Widget: elements such as the transcript, calculator, and notepad • The term panel should be used whenever more than one piece of related information is going to be linked to a slide, otherwise, just use the word slide (examples to clarify will follow)

  4. Elements Common to Multiple Templates • Templates 1-4 don’t have a splash page, and this is sometimes forgotten • Templates have space for titles, subtitle, and usually a 2nd subtitle at the top of each slide • All templates can have underlined, bold, or italicized text • Can pick text color • All templates have 1 main image/SWF, and can also have unlimited secondary images/SWFs • Customizable spreadsheet is built in to all the templates, but is rarely used

  5. Template 1 • Bottom Buttons-maximum 5 buttons • Using only one button at the bottom of the screen can be confusing for customers • Best used when you’re going to have multiple panels dealing with one topic • Bottom button terms should be short, if this isn’t possible, the terms need to be linked PNGs in order to show all the words without improper word-breaks • Best when buttons contain images rather than text

  6. Template 2 • Top Buttons-maximum 5 buttons • Functionally identical to template 1 • Same common issues as with template 1 • This template is good for displaying text within the buttons

  7. Template 3 • Tabs Layout • Fairly straightforward template with no common problems • Unlimited number of tabs • Tabs are best for longer text phrases (compared to buttons) and are less obviously repetitive • Good template for holding a lot of text/information • Easy template for the individual constructing the course

  8. Template 4 • Numbered List-maximum 11 single-line buttons, fewer if buttons have more than 1 line of text • Last of the button/tab style templates that doesn’t have a splash page • Please note that when you insert a large image that the text will need to scroll, and only a small amount of text is visible at a time • Good for displaying large amounts of text

  9. Template 5 • Bulleted List-maximum 11 single-line buttons, fewer if each bullet is more than 1 line • One of the most commonly used templates • Easy to forget about repetitive look of titles/headers • Best when making a list with only a few items • Panels can hold a large amount of text

  10. Template 6 • Comparison Check-unlimited questions • One of the least commonly used slides • Best for when you want an interactive component for customers • Could be interesting way to incorporate even multiple choice questions • Text/audio should indicate how the user should navigate the template using the “enter answer” & “check answer” tabs

  11. Template 7 • Review Questions • Can have up to 6 possible answers, suggest using 5 or less • If answers are lengthy, this reduces the number of answers the screen can hold • Could be good for inserting charts, interactive SWFs • Information in the answers can be interactive, helping the customer select the correct answer

  12. Template 8 • Vertical/Horizontal/Full Screen • This template should be used most frequently, but is often overlooked • This template is the basis for all the other templates • Basic, foundational information template • Has the largest space for text/images • Has the largest amount of whitespace • Easiest template to customize

  13. Template 9 • Dual Caption Display • Template is mainly an image/SWF loader • Only template with space for captions beneath each image • Doesn’t support text outside of linked images/SWFs • Good for comparisons • Since it doesn’t support text, audio should clearly explain what the customer should be looking for and getting out of this slide

  14. Template 10 • Drag & Drop • One of the least commonly used templates • Can’t be placed back-to-back • Unlimited columns and rows, but this will shrink each button down, so best to have fewer items • Each column has space for a heading • Each button has the ability to contain rollover text • Buttons can load icons or text, and color can be customized • Audio should clearly explain how to use the interactive elements

  15. Template 11 • Interactive Selection • One of the least commonly used templates • Great for an interactive element • Great for images or text • Could be used for questions or just to provide a fun learning activity within a course • Audio should clearly explain what to do and how to navigate the slide

  16. Questions, comments, concerns? Feedback, adjustments, and ideas for the templates?
