If you’re like me, you’ve seen plenty of elearning orientations that are mostly page-turners or text-laden. Here’s an awesome example of an orientation that puts the viewer “inside of the experience.” Forget about telling “the how-to” or “this is what you learn” to someone. What about placing the participant  INTO the story. Why tell them what they will experience…let them experience it? Note how this drips of empathy and connection without the use of text/slogans. The experience drives learner motivation to continue. With some simple scripting, hand-held video camera, video files become the modules participants can visit.  Navigation is obvious and intuitive.  Have you seen a similar example of this approach?

        MariAn….I’m *incredibly* late on the comment here but wanted to thank you for such a positive review of the virtual orientation project my firm (ResIM) developed. It was a very rewarding experience.
