L2 DESIGN! Developing Resources That Support Learning (ESSENTIAL)

[Blended Learning Course]

Study guides, slides, videos, case scenarios – are you looking at a range of learning resources and wondering which will best support your educational activities? Or are you searching in vain for resources to meet your learners’ needs and considering developing your own customised learning resources?

In this hands-on workshop, you will learn design guidelines based on key principles of the cognitive load theory. You will be given time to improve an existing learning resource or create a new one using the guidelines and receive feedback on it.

Please note that this is a Blended Learning Course. For participants who prefer face-to-face learning, click here for the Face-to-Face Workshop.
