This five-week online course demystifies eLearning. You will learn the language, the tools and the design principles behind quality online learning, and where it fits in your organisation’s learning strategy. Each week you apply what you learn to your own workplace, and you finish with a learning design proposal you can take straight back to your team. Along the way you build an eLearning network with the other learners on the course.
You are an L&D or HR professional who has been asked to build, buy or manage eLearning and wants a solid grounding first.
You are a facilitator, trainer or teacher planning to move face-to-face programs into an online environment.
You brief designers, developers or vendors and want to speak their language and judge quality with confidence.
Already comfortable with the basics? eLearning: Planning & Design is the next course in the series.
Weekly activities include evaluating an online learning experience, running a learning needs analysis in your workplace, comparing authoring tools and testing pages against accessibility standards, before you develop your final design proposal.
90-minute collaborative sessions via MS Teams in weeks one, three and five.
Facilitated content, activities and discussion on the OpenLearning platform, in your own time each week.
Delivered exclusively for your team, with the scenario and examples tailored to your context.
