3. Design and develop courses and
learning resources
• I focus on using a vast array of strategies to keep leaners engaged
and help them achieve better learning outcomes:
– Define learning objectives that are actions, not information
– Design relevant activities that allow learners to apply what they learned and
achieve learning goals
– Use a variety of activities (Absorb, Do, Connect)
– Apply the multimedia principle, stimulating more than one sense (graphics,
videos, narration)
– Explore social media tools to enhance collaborative learning
– Use Web Writing Techniques
– Apply the Inverted Pyramid Method, structuring the information according to its
importance
