Course summary
The CertHE Digital Learning Design programme offers students the opportunity to learn and create engaging and effective online and blended delivery courses for use in schools, further and higher education sectors, within businesses, training organisations and by individual content authors. The programme contains modules of study providing discrete digital and planning skills that, when combined with the course project, allow the creation of a fully formed digital course. Assessment activities focus on producing tangible outputs that can be of significant practical value in real world education and training situations. Who is the course suitable for? This course is suitable for any teaching practitioner/ trainer wishing to create digital learning materials for learners from Further Education level and onwards. Candidates wishing to enrol should have active learners for whom they are able to distribute episodes of digital learning to as this is part of the assessment process. Learners on the course will have access to the Virtual Learning Environment Canvas in which to practice their skills. It is expected, however, that candidates have access to a VLE or LMS in their professional role in which to design and distribute digital learning content to their learners externally.
Modules
Typical Modules Include: Digital Authoring 21st Century learning design principles Principles of online pedagogy Project *Optional modules will run where there are sufficient student numbers, otherwise an alternative option module may be offered.
Assessment method
The assessment methods typically used throughout the programme include: Reports Essays Coursework Project-style tasks Individual and group presentations Case studies Websites This programme has a strong emphasis on practicality and applicability. Students are not merely assessed on their understanding of the key pedagogical and technical principles of digital learning design, but their ability to apply them within their own professional environment. A number of modules will be assessed using portfolios which require the completion of a number of smaller tasks that are spread across the academic semester. This ensures that assessment deadlines are not bunched at the end of a semester and that students receive feedback on a regular basis that contributes to their development and improvement.
