It’s been a few weeks since my last post and at least two weeks since the completion of IPT 525 – E-Learning Principles & Practice. This is my first college course in so many years where I’m working to earn a certificate to add on to my current degree. I’ve always felt that if you don’t walk away learning something, the course probably wasn’t all that good. Quite the contrary for this class. I learned a lot more than I expected and I’m sure it will serve as a solid foundation as I complete the remaining courses for this certificate.
So, what did I learn? It’s difficult to express exactly what I learned, but here’s a listing of the items that caught my attention:
- Reusable Learning Objects (RLO)
- Cisco’s RLO Strategy
- SCORM, AICC
- Metadata
- Functions of Learning Management Systems (LMS) and Learning Content Management Systems (LCMS)
- Accessibility of e-learning to people with disabilities
The bottom line to this course was that learning, delivered by electronic means (e-learning defined), can be flexible, reusable and accessible if a strategy is carefully planned out and applied.
It’s on now to the next course, IPT 523 – Authoring Skills for Instructional Multimedia. It’s a hard-skills course where we’ll be using Adobe Captivate and applying it to e-learning. It should be fun and I’m currently using it for other projects. It’s a powerful tool and capable of doing many things and I’m looking forward to learning more about it and applying it back to the work I’m doing.
