L&D and HR professionals, facilitators and teachers who want to deepen their eLearning design skills. It suits people who already have some exposure to eLearning. If you are completely new, start with eLearning: Foundations.

No. Foundations is recommended if you are new to eLearning, but it is not a prerequisite. Planning & Design stands on its own for anyone with a basic understanding of what eLearning is.

How to analyse your audience, task and objectives; the main instructional design models, including ADDIE, SAM, Action Mapping, Gagné’s Nine Events, ASSURE, Thiagi’s Four Door Model and LXD; design considerations such as accessibility, responsive design and design thinking; engagement techniques; UX, UI and visual design; and how to evaluate your design. You finish with a design portfolio and handover brief for a real project.

It runs over five weeks online. There are three live 90-minute collaborative sessions via MS Teams in weeks one, three and five, plus facilitated self-paced content and activities on the OpenLearning platform each week. You earn an AITD certificate and a digital badge on completion. In-house delivery is also available for teams.

eLearning: Production & Delivery is the third course in the series and covers building, testing and launching your eLearning.

It is mapped to the AITD Capability Framework at a foundational to intermediate level, building capability in Learning Experience Design. See the AITD Capability Framework for the full set of L&D capabilities.
