| "The Horton's E-Learning By Design Certificate course met my expectation and then some! Not only did I walk away with the best practices for e-learning design, I was able to immediately apply what I learned. The very next week, I completed an e-learning course from an existing "hands-on-course" in less than a day using the best practices and resources from the Horton's site. My director was amazed at the quality of the course." |

Next Workshops Begin on: March 3, 2008
Live & Online
Each year our programming draws some of the most prestigious learning professionals in the business, and now Training Live and Online extends our programming well beyond the walls of the conference hall. This online certificate program gives you the opportunity to learn from e-learning design experts William and Katherine Horton, all from the comfort of your own desk.
This INTENSIVE two-week online certificate program begins March 3, 2008, with 6 sessions over a period of two weeks. Register now!
IDI 9: E-learning Design
How do you tell good e-learning from bad? What are the hallmarks of successful e-learning design? Are twirling 3D logos good? Is video necessary? Does effective e-learning have to be expensive? And, what different forms of e-learning exist to meet your varying needs? This course will answer these questions and more. Conducted entirely online, this certificate program is all about design – not theories or tool-operation – just the design of effective, economical e-learning.
This is an intensive workshop. We will meet 6 times over a period of 2 weeks. Each meeting will last 4 hours. And, there will be minimal homework.
Learn how to design e-learning that educates a wide range of learners more reliably and in less time and that can be produced with simple tools. Topics include:
- Quickly design instruction. Set clear, achievable objectives and learn to streamline design without sacrificing effectiveness.
- Target e-learning precisely. Set realistic expectations to achieve the potential of e-learning and overcome its limitations.
- Activate learners. Learn how to transform passive reading, listening, and watching into active discovery and creation that connects learning to life and work.
- Assess learning. Learn to write fair, challenging, and legally-defensible test questions. Design tests to match your enterprise and educational goals and learn to give meaningful, encouraging feedback.
- Build topics. Design a learning object that really teach and can prove it. Learn how to combine activities and tests, design for reuse, write metadata that clearly identified the topic, and much more.
- Teach visually. Seduce reluctant readers. Design functional graphics that explain ideas. Avoid graphical blunders. Reach those who cannot or will not read text. Learn techniques you can use to quickly create graphics.
Prerequisite Information:
This certificate program is for:
- Instructional designers who must specify and craft e-learning
- Instructors moving from the physical classroom to the virtual classroom.
- Technical writers moving from online documents to online learning.
- Information technologists and subject-matter experts charged with developing e-learning developing e-learning.
- Managers who must direct the design and development of e-learning.
This certificate program assumes that attendees have basic Web browsing skills and understand how to participate in online meetings and discussion forums. And, it is highly recommended that attendees have been involved in the design, development, or management of at least one e-learning project. At the very least, attendees should have taken one form of e-learning. 
This course is comprised of
six (6) live online sessions. Plus there will be approximately 3 hours of pre-work before our first meeting.
