Creating interactive digital lessons is essential in modern education, be it formal education, corporate learning or vocational training. However, many authors fall into common pitfalls that can greatly reduce the impact of online courses.

The LIVRESQWe've worked with thousands of educational content authors - teachers, trainers, instructional designers or L&D specialists - and we know exactly what mistakes are most commonly made in e-learning. Below, we show you the top 10 mistakes to avoid and how the LIVRESQ platform helps you create modern, clear and effective lessons without the hassle.

1. Too much information at once

One of the most common mistakes is loading the course with too much text or data. This tires the learner and reduces comprehension.

LIVRESQ simplifies the process

2. Lack of real interactivity

Interactivity is not just "Next" and "Previous". The learner must be active, not passive.

The LIVRESQ solution to this problem

There are many types of interactive activities - from quizzes and fill-ins to drag & drop multimedia - all available without writing a line of code.

3. Unattractive visual design

Poor visuals discourage participation. Color, fonts and layout are essential.

What makes LIVRESQ different

Access modern, responsive, professionally designed templates. You can customize everything without graphic design skills.

4. Content without clear structure

If the user doesn't know where they are in the lesson or what's next, they will easily abandon the course.

How LIVRESQ fixes this bug

Each lesson you create can have a menu, progress bar and intuitive navigation - all designed to guide the learner to success.

5. Neglected target audience

A course for everyone, in fact, it's not for anyone.

6. Slides loaded with text

The text should be short, clear and visually complete.

7. Unnecessary or distracting multimedia

Visual elements should have a pedagogical purpose, not just an aesthetic one.

Benefits of using LIVRESQ

8. Lack of useful feedback

The learner needs to understand where they went wrong and how to improve.

9. No mid-term evaluation

Without intermediate checks, the learner doesn't know if he or she has understood correctly.

10. Lack of learning objectives

A good course starts with clear goals.
