e-Learning Design and Development for 21st Century Learning

Intrigued with integrating technology into 21st century teaching and learning? Thought about joining the mindshift? Pondered upon how best to design online learning? Or perhaps you've been itching to know what it all means - tags, podcasts, wikis, blogs, m-learning, RSS and LMS. Well, now you can learn how to learn and design for this connected electronic world.

NorthTec is offering the Certificate in e-Learning Design and Development (CeLDD) qualification for people interested in how new media and digital technologies are changing the way people communicate and learn. It is designed to make you research and apply skills for 21st century teaching, training, marketing and living.

“We recognise there is a real need out there to connect people with the new technologies and with each other. New media is transforming how we design for learning - the online filing cabinet or shopping list is dead. Piping content into students just won't do it anymore. There is a transformational tool for everyone. This course helps you find it," says NorthTec tutor Debra Montgomery.

“The certificate provides a great opportunity for learners to get to grips with why and how we use new technologies in a more meaningful way and for those people who want to learn or catch-up with 21st Century learning methods. It is particularly targeted for people designing teaching or training programmes, but is also suitable for people who want to look at integrating new media into their marketing strategy."

The CeLDD enables learners to explore new media in a meaningful way while gaining confidence in being able to interact with online communities, for learning or within a profession.

“We designed the course so that learners can benefit no matter what level they start from - whether it is a novice, apprentice or a whiz designer. Ultimately the end result is having people who are confident in exploring flexible, online and mobile technologies,” says Debra.
