Certificate in E-Learning

This unique e-learning certificate prepares educators, instructional designers and corporate training professionals to design, develop, implement, evaluate, and manage e-learning training programs and curricula. It offers a hands-on opportunity to build relevant, pedagogically sound educational materials and courses for the Internet, explores the latest developments in online educational technology, and provides a sound grounding in e-learning planning, implementation and program management. The program covers all aspects of the e-learning process, including knowledge management, and gives e-learning authors, instructors, and tutors the opportunity to develop their own interactive learning strategies and put in place a set of industry-recognized professional standards.
