E-Learning Certificate: Developing and Implementing E-Learning

Developing and Implementing E-Learning aims to introduce you to the skills required to successfully develop and manage the implementation of e-learning projects and training programs. 

Being a Facilitator of Learning

During this course, you will have an opportunity to become familiar with strategies that will help you create an online course environment that is both engaging and inclusive.

The culminating assignment in week 6 will allow you an opportunity to recap and apply what you learned during the first 5 weeks of the course by designing an effective mini course outline that includes the following design elements:

  • LMS choice
  • How your online learning community will be established/maintained,
  • Course-level Outcomes
  • Module-level Objectives, assessment/rubric
  • How you will adhere to copyright
  • What UDL tools you will use

This course not only covers how to use strategies and tools from the perspective of an instructor, but also encourages you to see yourself as a “facilitator” of learning.

With this knowledge of Adult Education, you will garner the skillset that will encourage your future learners to take responsibility for their own learning.

This course will help you gain the ability to develop quality online courses that feature alignment between critical course components such as outcomes, objectives, activities, & assessments.

In this course, you will learn about:
