Common Mistakes to Avoid
1. Overloading Pages with Content
Reason: Too much text and multimedia on a single page overwhelms learners and hinders comprehension. It makes navigation difficult and reduces engagement.
Solution: Break down content into smaller, more digestible modules with clear headings and visuals.
2. Ignoring Interactive Elements
Reason: LiveBinders without interactive elements, such as quizzes, embedded videos, or discussion forums, are static and less engaging. Learners are more passive recipients of information.
Solution: Integrate interactive activities to encourage active participation and knowledge retention.
