Translate real-life experiences into effective e-learning As educators, we know that bringing these voices to life in e-learning will make it more effective, but this also poses challenges: How do we translate real-life experiences into e-learning? How can our e-learning tell powerful stories? Discover a methodology for designing e-learning objects In this free online course, we will explore these questions and introduce a methodology that you can use yourself, to design your own e-learning objects in all sorts of contexts, not just health.

By the end of the five weeks, you will have created your own storyboard and specification for a high quality piece of e-learning, which you can then develop further after the course.

Hearing aid non-usage can result in continued difficulties in communication in everyday situations, which can lead to social isolation and withdrawal, and reduced overall quality of life. As hearing aid follow-up appointments are not routinely offered to everyone in the UK, all the important information often needs to be given at the time of the hearing aid fitting. As such, interactive multimedia videos (or reusable learning objects, RLOs) offer advantages in that they can provide essential and supplementary information, be used at a time that suits the user, used as many times as the user wants and needs, and can be delivered remotely in the home environment.

Intellectual property rights in a digital world

Having an appreciation of the significance of intellectual property law for further and higher education is essential. In an increasingly competitive environment where more and more learning content is digital, institutions need to know how to maximise the value of their own assets as well as how to make the best use of resources they licence.

They need to be able to share and protect their own intellectual outputs while not infringing the rights of others. What you can do Understand the law Intellectual property rights (IPR), very broadly, are rights granted to creators and owners of works that are the result of human intellectual creativity. Copyright is a legally enforceable property right that makes it possible for the holder of that right to profit from a work such as a book, for example. Looking ahead. Session 5 References.

Quality can be applied in both a technical and pedagogical sense – and both are relevant. HELM Open - The University of Nottingham.
