“Our specials today are cold baked beans, burnt toasties and delayed jacket potatoes.
Oh, and we have no soup. (We forgot to put it on.)
Anything take your fancy?
Customers expect great hot food at our café - they know it’s made from our own high quality M&S produce. To be a hot food hero, you need to present it, cook it, and serve it perfectly.”

So, what is tone? What does that mean to you?

Our 5 rule framework
Tone matters – no matter what the content. We’ve put together a 5 rule
framework to help you write engaging, exciting and yawn proof content. This is
the Kineo tone.

Our 5 rule framework
1. Keep it light
2. Give it spirit
3. Have a conversation
4. Call for action
5. Be adult
![Page 10: Don't be tone deaf! Creating tone of voice in eLearning.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5555cfced8b42aaf158b4c94/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Rapid E-Learning and Consultancy
1. Keep it light
Short, snappy, to the point
And don’t be afraid to have fun
Less of…“This e-learning module is designed to explain the principles and practical requirements of the 11 step process …”
More of…“Need to get your head around our process? You’re in the right place.” Or…
“Process – boring, right? Wrong. This one will help you, all 11 steps of it. See it to believe it.”
![Page 11: Don't be tone deaf! Creating tone of voice in eLearning.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5555cfced8b42aaf158b4c94/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Any challenges that you can see with trying to keep it light in your organization?

2. Give it spirit!
Energetic, driven, engaging
Less of…“Now that you have covered the basics of customer service, in the next section you will learn how to deal with customer issues.”
More of…“You’re one step away from maximising your skills, but there’s a problem – a customer one in fact. Click next to put your service skills to the test.”
![Page 13: Don't be tone deaf! Creating tone of voice in eLearning.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5555cfced8b42aaf158b4c94/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

3. Have a conversation
Direct, clear, dialogue, questioning
Less of…“Negotiating effectively is an important skill that we all use on a daily basis”
You talking to me? More of…
“When was the last time you negotiated something?
Maybe it was more recently than you think….”
![Page 14: Don't be tone deaf! Creating tone of voice in eLearning.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5555cfced8b42aaf158b4c94/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

4. Call for action
Give direction, focus on actions and tasks – it’s
what happens next that counts
Less of…“You’ve now completed this section on PBX sales. Go back to the menu to make another selection.”
More of…“Now review your own client list. Who could benefit from the PBX product? Plan the time to call them now.”
![Page 15: Don't be tone deaf! Creating tone of voice in eLearning.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5555cfced8b42aaf158b4c94/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

5. Be adult
Less of…
“By now you have learned…”“You must do…”“This will take 90 minutes”
Learners are busy professionals – treat them that
way. Adult to adult - don’t patronise.
More of…“Take 5 minutes to find out how to run effective meetings.”
![Page 16: Don't be tone deaf! Creating tone of voice in eLearning.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5555cfced8b42aaf158b4c94/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Having a conversation
• Can I ask you an interesting question?• Can I tell you a story?• Can I take you on a journey?*
I don’t know – can you?
*metaphorically. Not in a weird way.
