12 Guidelines for designing eLearning
Environments for Gen Y
1. Personalisation: Making the learner feel like a
person not a ‘user’
2. Identity: Real images mean the user identifies
with the message
3. Brand: Reinforce the connection between learner
& organisation
4. Community: Allow learner to communicate, relate &
participate
5. Surprise: Surprises allow the learner to see creativity
& dynamics
6. Innovation: Bring things to life on the internet
7. Zen: Ensure white spaces, avoid unnecessary noise.
8. Search: Provide shortcuts for learners9. Clarity: Use lively & bright colours to facilitate interaction & retention10. Situation: Make sure learners get a map of the learning environment with a snapshot rather than scrolling11. Aesthetics: Ensure a constant, quality look throughout12. Recognition: Use standard icons & symbols that can be easily understood
