E-Learning Design
This ultimate road map covers the entire e-learning landscape.
Why do we even need e-learning? What is an LMS? How do I write a storyboard? If you’re delving into e-learning and are coming up with more questions than answers, this guide is the high-level overview you’ve been looking for. In this book, e-learning development experts and educators Diane Elkins and Desirée Pinder deliver a comprehensive examination of the e-learning process from the ground up.
E-Learning Fundamentals provides the base of knowledge necessary to tackle everything from early concepts of e-learning down to its execution. Throughout, you’ll find vignettes that bring concepts to life as well as checklists and practical tools for designing and developing your first e-learning course.
In this book you will:
- dive into the basics of e-learning design and development
- explore the e-learning course design and development process—from analysis through evaluation
- learn to write and storyboard a course, construct test questions, choose media, put the course together, and establish a thorough review process.
