Rapid eLearning Development (ReD)

The ReD course is for anyone who wants to learn how to create engaging and effective elearning content or informal media (blogs, podcasts, video, presentations, screencasts and more). It will also help you support others within your organisation who are creating informal media. It assumes no previous knowledge and covers effective instructional design with text, images, audio, video and interactivity. It also includes links to tutorials for Articulate (a popular ‘rapid’ elearning author tool) and Adobe Captivate (an IT system training author tool).

Structure

The Rapid eLearning Development (ReD) course comprises around 40 hours of effort over a four week period. New students (known as Junior Operatives) are enrolled every month so you will work through the course with peers who may be based anywhere in the world.

The course is built with many of the tools you will learn to use, so
the medium is also the message. It includes 3D gaming environments, a social network, collaborative mindmaps, webinars, graded assignments and assessments. In addition, following graduation from the course you get one hour of consultancy time with a senior instructional designer.

Concessionary rate is available for charities and the unemployed who are seeking to learn new skills.
