Interview with Dr. Clark Quinn on engaging the learner emotionally
All too often, e-learning developers focus on presentation of information and data, leaving out the emotional connections needed to get learners recall and apply knowledge. In this podcast, Clark discusses 8 elements that can be included in e-learning to systematically and consistently create engaging and meaningful interactions. He also explores the differences between simulations, scenarios and games and discusses how to improve interactions by writing better questions, by giving learners the freedom to operate within simulated learning environments and by providing feedback that comes directly from the learning world.

What's needed is a richer understanding of all the options available, the "big tent of e-learning", and a systematic approach to selecting the right tool for the job. In this podcast, Dr. Rossett provides an organized view of the "big tent" which comprises:
Learning
Knowledge and performance support
Assessments and guidance
