Our card set supports you in developing digital learning opportunities that work.

Learners today expect flexible, motivating digital learning environments. However, many trainers, teachers and lecturers report that it is not so easy to develop digital learning opportunities that really work: That are clearly structured, engaging, motivating and generate sustainable learning outcomes.

With eLeDia's eLearning Tactics, we have developed a complete, application-oriented set of cards to help you develop professional digital learning programs: 20 cards full of methods, models and strategies. 

Digital self-learning formats follow different rules than live training. Many trainers transfer their face-to-face logic 1:1 online - and then the classic problems happen:

Problem

Why digital learning sometimes fails.

  • Content instead of learning processes: Many self-study courses are mere collections of knowledge.
    Result: Learners understand the material, but they don't really learn anything.

  • Overload instead of structure: Too much text, no clear orientation, no learning paths.
    Result: Learners drop out or feel lost.

  • No activation - learners remain passive: There is no structure in self-learning phases without live support from trainers. Result: Hardly any interaction, no consolidation, no transfer.

  • Motivation collapses after minutes: Online learning is lonely, exhausting and full of distractions. Result: Low completion rates, frustration, dropouts.

  • No didactic system behind the content: Trainers are experts in their field, but digital didactics requires new tools.
    Result: The course remains piecemeal instead of a learning journey.

Present content

Cut the Clutter

Clear structures and reduced content create focus: the essentials stand out, cognitive load is reduced and complex information becomes easier to grasp.

Support motivation

Autonomy First

Choice, realistic feedback, exchange options and meaningful learning steps strengthen autonomy, a sense of competence and a self-determined learning attitude.

Stimulate cooperation

Voices that Learn

Dialogic impulses, diverse opinions and perspective-rich questions promote exchange, encourage further thought and support a reflective discussion.

Stimulate cooperation

Learning Shifts

Realistic problems, reflection impulses and a change of perspective stimulate critical thinking and enable an in-depth examination of the subject matter.

Activate prior knowledge

Expand the Core

A clear general overview provides orientation; subsequent in-depth levels and increasingly complex examples lead step by step into greater depth.

Present content

Less is Learn

Reduced content creates focus: clarity, overview and targeted impulses help learners to grasp the essentials more quickly and retain them better.

Promote application

Quiz to Remember

Short tests consolidate content, activate the memory and help learners to store and recall knowledge in the long term.

Support motivation

Play to Learn

Game-based elements encourage curiosity, lower learning barriers and transform dry content into motivating, explorative learning experiences.

Arouse interest

Tell One Story

A clear narrative structure guides learners along a comprehensible learning path, provides orientation and makes complex content more accessible.

Present content

Automate the Routine

Automate recurring learning tasks, save mental energy and create space for deep learning through clearly structured, stress-relieving learning processes.

Present content

Guide the Focus

Targeted instructions, a clear structure and visual orientation can guide learners, reduce excessive demands and focus attention.

Promote application

Small Steps, Big Change

Small, continuous learning steps can strengthen motivation, make progress visible and enable sustainable development.

Present content

Learn by teaching

Teaching others promotes deep understanding: learners actively explain content, restructure knowledge and deepen their understanding sustainably.

Support motivation

Hook & Hold

Targeted motivation keeps learners in the process: surprising introductions, personal relevance and a tangible sense of achievement ensure sustained attention and commitment.

Present content

Build on What's There

Building on previous knowledge facilitates new learning: learners activate existing schemata, link new content to them and feel more competent in dealing with complex topics.

Promote application

Cognitive Apprenticeship

Making thinking visible deepens competence: learners adopt expert strategies, practise with guidance and develop independent problem-solving skills step by step.

Promote application

Learning Cycle

Kolb's learning cycle shows: Knowledge is created through experience, reflection, understanding and application - a dynamic process of experiential learning.

Space to remember

Distributed repetition strengthens the memory: regular, staggered recall consolidates knowledge in the long term and makes learning progress tangible.

Step by step

Complexity in portions makes learning accessible: small, logically sequenced units facilitate understanding and reduce cognitive overload.

Flow to Grow

Challenges in balance generate learning flow: clear goals, direct feedback and suitable tasks lead to deep concentration and self-sustaining motivation.
