Description

The 2008 eLearning Seminar is an instructional development training that will elevate eLearning courses from being two-dimensional, primarily text-based webspaces to interactive, multi-dimensional environments.

Instructors will be provided with the necessary equipment to develop multimedia learning elements. One resource will be covered per day and each media element produced will be integrated into the instructor’s online course. The skills gained at the eLearning Seminar will benefit students by encouraging active learning and addressing the needs of learners with multiple learning styles.
