Course details

More about this course
  • As e-learning becomes ever-more widespread, online educators are being required to design learning experiences that engage and meet the needs of very diverse learners.
  • This course, developed by The Open University's Institute of Educational Technology, explores four myths: that learning design is about technology and content; that innovation and accessibility are incompatible; that researching online learning is an ethics-free zone, and that educators online identities are irrelevant.
  • Studying the course will help you enhance your practice through videos, quizzes and discussion with peers.
