According to Gagne’s nine events of instruction, “Gain Attention” is the first key step taken into consideration when designing a training program/course. The basic idea is to grab the learner’s attention. I am a great fan of this “Gain attention” strategy. The first few seconds/minutes of a training program plays a crucial role in deciding its fate. The learner may just leave the training in the middle or click “Next” continuously to complete it. If the first impression is not positive, the great Instructional Design strategies may just fall on deaf ears.
"Gain Attention" strategies play an effective role in eLearning. It has the power to increase the motivational level of your learner.
