Interactive Multimedia Courseware Design

This course provides students with the opportunity to explore and utilize a variety of creative E-Learning authoring tools to plan, design, develop, and deploy highly interactive courseware and multimedia learning resources. Students will apply instructional design best practices to the design and integration of both static learning materials, such as data-driven infographics, slide presentations, and icons; and dynamic content, such as video, audio podcasts, animations, interactive lessons, and simulations. Students will evaluate and compare the capabilities of a number of rapid E-learning authoring tools, and harness them to create high-quality online learning resources. The course will also emphasize the development of universally accessible multimedia.
