In this Open Online Course, you’ll find insights, examples and good practices in multimedia learning, multimedia production and online learning. You can go through the course in your own time and at your own pace.
This Module will help you to decide which online learning scenario best suits your pedagogical approach and resources, and then how to structure the content. Structure is particularly important in online courses, as the preparation of the learning content and the interaction with your learners must be carefully planned in line with the needs of your target learners. Intuitive adaptation or spontaneous interaction with your learners are not, or only to a limited extent, possible. Therefore, choosing and designing your online learning scenario carefully based on the analysis of your learners (needs) are the key success factors! This module guides you step by step through this process. It also offers a workbook that you can put straight into practice and develop your online learning scenario, course or class. Also, you can use it as a working document to note your decisions, ideas, answers and thoughts throughout this module.
This module is for anyone looking to explore educational principles of online learning creation. Mainly aimed at those with limited to intermediate experience in creating online learning arrangements.
After this lesson, you
• will know the differences and key characteristics of online learning scenarios
• will be able to distinguish between online and multimedia learning.
