eLearning Strategies
Overview
The eLearning Strategies course provides an overview of the strategic imperatives, issues and types of decision required, when implementing eLearning programs.
The course is a two-day, classroom-based program with an online component. It focuses on the practical application of elearning principles in real life situations. The course will be heavily interactive, with an opportunity to work together with peers. Since computers will be available for each attendee, there will also be ample opportunities to see and use sample software applications.
This course is designed for:
- Training managers and leaders
- Instructional designers
- Those wishing to break into the eLearning arena
- Senior leaders and managers considering eLearning
as an option for their organizations
- Those with knowledge in some areas of eLearning and gaps in others
This course is NOT designed for:
- Developers who want technical and development specifics
eLearning Strategies is offered cooperatively by ASTD-Cascadia Chapter
and Portland State University (PSU) School of Extended Studies. Participants may receive 1 hour elective credit from PSU for an additional
fee of $50. Persons taking the workshop for credit must attend the entire
workshop and complete a required
project. The lead instructor for this course will work with any
students who take the course for credit. If you are planning on taking the series for credit, please read the information on credit registration at the end of this
page.
NOTE: Each session is designed to build on the last one. This means that
the entire course is intended to be taken by one person, not split between 2
or more individuals. Full registrations will be accepted for 1 person
only.
