ASTD E-Learning Instructional Design Certificate

The program helps you develop individualized, asynchronous e-learning experiences that motivate learners to change their behavior. Invigorate your traditional instructional design with fresh e-learning techniques based on examples from organizations who have implemented successful asynchronous virtual training programs. Particular attention is paid to how to create instructional design solutions from scratch. This is not a tools or webinar training class and does not address issues of designing and delivering live, virtual instructor-led webinars.

By the end of the program, participants are able to:

• Apply the components of effective e-learning instructional design and learner motivation.
• Describe how interactivity affects learning.
• Examine how e-learning tools and trends can disguise the true learning challenge.
• Orient their e-learning towards behavioral-based outcomes instead of online information.
• Use e-learning success prerequisites to improve programs.
• Apply the steps of successive approximation for e-learning projects.
• Apply the principles of effective e-learning navigation.
• Evaluate their e-learning programs and make recommendations for improvements.

The focus of this program is on skillfully meeting instructional design challenges in any industry, and on applying principles of effective e-learning to individualized asynchronous tutorials, games, simulations, and other e-learning models.
