The fundamentals of eLearning and Instructional Design
About This Course
This course covers the basic skills of instructional design required to create successful eLearning content. While the focus will be on the type of content commonly developed for online learning, we will also explore how these same concepts can be applied to live in-person course formats.
In the final module, students will be guided through the process of building two mock course modules with two lessons per module. The module content will be based on a list of fictional scenarios.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHOmBV4js_E

Learning Theories
While there are dozens of established learning theories, most instructional designers and eLearning developers focus on the followings:
Adult Learning Theory
Cognitive Load Theory
Experiential Learning
Situated Learning Theory
Understanding these four theories will provide any instructional designer and eLearning developer with a rich source of knowledge to guide the creation of course content.
Learning Models
In this module, you'll learn about the three most commonly used learning models:
Bloom's Taxonomy
Gagne's Nine Levels of Learning
Kirkpatrick's Four Levels of Evaluation
You will also learn how to apply these learning models to your course design and course content.
Instructional Design Models
In this module, you'll learn how to use learning management systems (LMS) and course authoring tools.
Tools of the Trade
In this module, you'll learn what instructional design models are and how to use them for the development of learning content.
The Modalities
Building eLearning Content
For the best learning outcomes, it is very important that the learning content is relevant to the audience. In this module, we will use scenarios to help guide learning content creation.
We will work through scenarios of the various instructional modalities and targeted learners in order to determine how the design and development of the content will look.
