celticcare Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 Good early morning to you all, coming to you live at 1140 hrs, the sun is finally shining and its not too bitterly cold here..... but I digress I am curious and asking for help from anyone that writes course materials. Predominantly writing pre-course reading and also class work books. The content I have no issue with, its the following... 1) how do you start - whilst trying to convey the topics without sounding patronising? 2) How much is too much with information and words? 3) How do you lay out your materials? Do you have words and pictures or pictures after each topics etc? I am working on a project with my dad for his training company and am writing the pre course material, the powerpoints and class material and assessment/work books. But my brain has hit a brain fart stage in terms of how to format and write the books. I know what I want to say, but how do I do it or say it in a way to get students engaged in learning but not patronise them at the same time? Thank you for your advice and help Scotty
