Design & Development of
Technology-Based Learning Systems

Course Description & Objectives

Theories, frameworks, and strategies for designing educational products and technology-based learning systems. Development, assessment, and implementation of proposals and specifications for technology-based learning and performance improvement.

Upon completing this course, you'll be able to:

1. Analyze a fuzzily-defined educational problem and identify attainable learning goals and objectives.
2. Match e-learning strategies to specific goals and objectives.
3. Develop and document learning objects in a variety of formats.
4. Orchestrate learning objects into larger systems to create systems at the lesson, unit and course level.
5. Apply scholarly and practitioner-developed knowledge to a wide range of problems.

More broadly, you will emerge from this course as a more effective and creative problem solver with a rich pool of technology-based solutions at your disposal. You'll be able to critique educational technology systems and justify your own efforts with evidence from the literature. You'll acquire a range of tools for conveying your ideas in detail to programmers, graphic artists and implementers.
