Types of eLearning
E-Learning varies in complexity. Some projects resemble a glorified PowerPoint presentation, and others rival a Disney Pixar production. To determine the level of interactivity required, consider your subject matter, target audience, technology environment, and budget.

Informative eLearning
E-Learning that is informative takes a linear, passive approach that contains 75%+ text and demands little of the learner:
- Graphics and images
- Simple animations
- Rollovers
- Basic quiz questions

Interactive eLearning
E-Learning that is interactive takes a linear, active approach that contains more complex simulations and scenarios:
- Navigation menus, glossaries, or links to resources
- Clickable animated graphics, audio or video
- Scenario-based case studies and examples
- More elaborate exercises and quizzes

Immersive eLearning
E-Learning that is immersive takes a non-linear, real-time approach that often involves gaming technology:
- 3D simulations
- Custom videos, interactive 3D objects, and digital avatars
- Simulations involving branching or pathing
- Case study-based tests and assessments
