Synopsis

This course aims to provide learners with knowledge of the principal and commonly adopted theories and processes of designing for flexible contexts, ranging from the more traditional learning environments to those using, for example, social conferencing and mobile technologies. In order to do this, it will explore issues relating to theories and perspectives on learning, learners and their learning contexts; the selection, sequencing and synthesising of content; and the match of learning outcomes with instructional strategies, content, delivery media and assessment procedures. In addition, some detail of plans for evaluating programs is addressed.
