I do like the idea of a linear course, of being guided between key elements in a predictable path, of getting assurance that I’m progressing well and understanding the essential concepts. I do like the idea of this, but I fully fail to engage with the programme!
Design a beautiful VLE, full of useful functionality and interactive elements, make the module structure easy to follow and offer ample opportunities to collaborate with the instructor and my peers. Or don’t. Throw together some hellhole of a website with links that go nowhere, looking like it had a design by-pass in the late 90s. Either way, I’m going to do three things. I’ll go straight to the assignments section to see what you’re going to mark me on, then I’ll find a way to gather all the reading materials and print them (I know, how Twentieth Century!), finally I’ll head to the calendar to schedule webinars, meetups and find out what reading we’ll be discussing and when.

The higher education landscape is shifting and institutions are facing a decline in overall enrollment. Rather than opting for a traditional classroom experience, students today have come to expect greater flexibility in deciding when, where and how to learn. In fact, it is predicted that by 2019 at least 50 percent of all classes will be delivered online and that percentage will only continue to increase. To adjust to student expectations and keep enrollment up, higher education institutions must offer online courses or blended classrooms to compete with other colleges that already have those options.

Like many of you, I’m no graphic designer. I do have enough skill to get what I need or know enough to modify existing templates. The good thing is that today, it’s not that big of a deal because you get media assets like Articulate’s Content Library. So you have plenty of quality templates and stock images to help guide your design.

"eLearning comprises of two kinds of designs – instructional design and graphic design. When we as commoners think about design, all we think of is superficial things. But design is more than just aesthetics. It involves emotional connect. It involves creating solutions that help in improving the lives of people."

User experience design theory (sometimes abbreviated as XD, UX, UXD or UED) focuses on the user experience of a platform. This might include accessibility, usability, enjoyment, and the overall flow of the experience. UX design focuses on both on how we use digital tools and on how we inhabit digital spaces. It focuses on systems in a way that is deeply human. What does it feel like for people? What does it look like for them? What are their processes?
