State of the Art - News on Instructional Design, Technologies and Delivery Options Web Based Training: Keep it interactive A good trainer continuously evaluates students' understanding of key points. He elicits feedback. He engages students in role play or small group projects. Students take an active role, and are not passive receptors. Likewise, a good e-learning program mobilizes students in an interactive forum. "It's probably one of the most difficult things about creating an e-learning or Web-based training program," Thomas Toth, a California-based instructional designer and Web developer, said. Toth's rule of thumb is simple: Ask learners to answer a question or perform an activity after each learning point. Make the completion of these activities the only way learners can advance through the program. Without such interactivity, according to Toth, the program becomes a "page turner," i.e. learners read a page, click to the next page, read that page, click to the next page, and so on. For
