01
CEPD Module 1 tied slide types to practice. This module maps Innovito Studio’s content layouts to jobs: look up criteria (table), show peer ideas of equal weight (carousel), walk a strict sequence (process strip), locate parts (labeled graphic), show a cited magnitude (chart), define terms (glossary), and point to evidence (resources). A carousel is not a procedure. If the steps must happen in order, shuffling them teaches that order does not matter. Wrong layout is extraneous load without practice.
02
Layout | Best when | Weak when
Table | Side-by-side criteria or specs | Story with emotional arc
Labeled graphic | Parts of a real interface or machine | Abstract values with no spatial model
Chart | Cited magnitudes you will discuss | Decoration with no decision
03
A carousel holds peer cards: four tips, four principles, four examples with the same weight. Learners can usually read them in any order. A six-step lockout, a live form, or a safety sequence that must happen in order is a process strip. Mayer’s segmenting principle means you split a long procedure into manageable pieces — you do not shuffle those pieces. If you put lockout steps in a carousel, you teach that the order is optional.
04
Layout that fails the job: Six lockout steps as carousel cards the learner can open in any order. · A glossary of “tagout” with no sequence. · A recall quiz: “What is lockout?”
Layout that rehearses it: Process strip in the job order, one step per card. · Drag-to-order on a second machine, not a clone of the first. · Resources slide after practice, with the site procedure.
