Instructional Design
A successful eLearning course is best achieved as a team. Computer skills and software applications are essential, however there is so much more involved to bringing content to the learner. A strong instructional design process starts with a skilled educator to guide and collaborate with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs). Consideration should be given for the audience, their learning styles, disability compliance, and data privacy. Objectives should be written to ensure measurable learning outcomes. Engaging content that goes beyond the basics to encourage active learning that can be applied to practical scenarios.

As teachers scrambled to learn how to finish the year virtually, many were flying blind and student data privacy was an afterthought. This is a section of the course discussing student data privacy and appropriate. Please note that some of the data privacy issues have been address with software version updates and are no longer relevant.
