Developing Interactive E-Learning Program Overview
Interactivity is one of the keys to engaging learners and maximizing retention. It is even more important in the online environment where it is easier for learners to tune out or even drop out. This program helps you design and develop effective interactive e-learning for both the self-directed and facilitated online environments. Your learners will stay tuned in and keep learning throughout your e-learning programs.
In this expanded program you will participate in six live sessions as well as complete several self-directed online tutorials. During the live sessions and tutorials you will experience how well-designed e-learning keeps learners motivated, engaged, and learning. You will also have opportunities to immediately apply what you are experiencing and learning to developing self-directed and facilitated e-learning using your own content. You will submit your work for individual review and feedback and by the end of this program you will have completed the design of two interactive e-learning lessons.
NOTE: Participation in this program requires the use of VOIP communications. A computer headset is highly recommended for best audio quality. We also recommend a hardwired internet connection rather than wifi.
