Overview
This course focuses on the development of an e-learning system that supports a variety of objectives, content areas, users, and learners. The development of an e-learning system includes gaining an understanding of systemic features and systematic processes in order to scale up e-learning from the course level to a program or organizational endeavor.
The course project, e-Learning Plan: Creating a Comprehensive Outline for e-Learning Development, gathers the course concepts into one complete plan for use in developing an e-learning system in an online environment. Students will construct an e-learning plan that is tailored to a particular context (e.g., a current work context, area of interest, etc.) with an overview of the comprehensive e-learning process that encompasses its various dimensions.
