Build eLearning people want to finish
Great eLearning is built, not just planned. This practical, project-based five-week course takes you from authoring tools and learning platforms to a finished course of your own. You will compare authoring tools, set up a course on a real learning platform, create your own content, export learner data and then use AI to design, develop and deliver a complete eLearning module. You leave with a working course, a method you can repeat and a wider professional network.

Evaluating eLearning solutions: evaluation models, project review and your professional journey

How the course works
Three live sessions
90-minute collaborative sessions via MS Teams in weeks one, three and five.
Self-paced learning
Facilitated content, activities and discussion on the OpenLearning platform, in your own time each week.
In-house for your team
Delivered exclusively for your team, with the project work built around your own content.
You get an extended free trial of the OpenLearning platform for the course and a period beyond it, so your project keeps working after you finish. Complete the course to earn an AITD certificate and a digital badge. Want to talk about running it for your team? Find out more about in-house delivery.
This course is the third in AITD’s three-part eLearning series and is mapped to the AITD Capability Framework at a foundational to intermediate level, building capability in Learning Experience Design.
