Self-paced e-learning can be deployed in a variety of ways, from full online courses to performance support opportunities to blended learning experiences. Regardless of how you use e-learning, intentional and thoughtful instructional design is essential. Well-designed e-learning courses and modules engage learners and enable them to acquire and apply new knowledge and skills.

Applying Instructional Design Principles to E-Learning Course Creation

This course is a good choice for those new to e-learning. You will learn how to apply instructional design models and principles to asynchronous e-learning experiences.
