Reusing course
components
• Well-developed e-learning courses can be delivered many
times to different learners using the same materials
Benefits
• Individual course components (e.g. units, lessons and
media elements such as graphics and animations) can
be reused in different contexts. For example,
interactive e-lessons developed for a given self-paced
e- learning course can be integrated into facilitated
courses or can become part of another self-paced e-
learning curriculum.
3 main characteristics of activities in an
online program
• Design and development of structured materials
• Be self-contained and able to be used multiple
• The technology needed
Process by which instruction is improved through
the analysis of learning needs and systematic
development of learning experiences.
Define in your own words what is an
instructional design.
Technology is required to produce and deliver e-learning. Different tools can be
used to produce e-learning content, depending on which file formats will be
used and the nature of the desired final product.
Microsoft PowerPoint or even Word can be sufficient to create simple learning
resources like a presentation or a tutorial. However, more sophisticated tools
are required if you want to create interactive content.
Courseware authoring tools are special-purpose tools that create interactive e-
learning content. They add text, graphics and other media, but also provide a
framework to organize pages and lessons for reliable
navigation. While most of these tools are stand-alone packages that
incorporate assessment and quiz capabilities, some integrate those functions
from other programs. To create media components, authoring
tools need auxiliary software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop for bitmap graphics, Adobe
Illustrator for vectoral images or Adobe Flash for animations) and other tools
for video and sound creation and compression.
What is the role of technology in an online
program and which technology tools are
effective to develop it
