Create video, audio and infographics for online learning

Designing learning across multiple formats

This course argues that online learning works better when information is presented as video, audio and infographics rather than text alone. It builds a design process around four principles, purpose, space, time and the instructor's role, and applies it to three content types.

Who it is for

Instructional designers, educators building online courses and content creators who make learning material will find it relevant. The skills list leans toward design and production, so it suits people who want to make the content as well as plan it.

What it covers

• Foundational design theory for learning content
• Making infographics, educational podcasts and instructional video
• Storyboarding and visual design for teaching materials

Its strongest idea is that format should follow the learner, rather than the reverse.
