Students learn the cognitive theory of learning that utilizes the media, and discuss and propose guidelines for effective e-Learning content design. In addition, students specifically design e-Learning contents based on the guidelines.
The aimes of this course are to acquire practical knowledge and skills for effective e-Learning content design.
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) learn a cognitive theory of learning utilizing media to propose specific guidelines for effective e-Learning content production.
2) design a e-Learning content based on the guidelines.
