Advanced Tools and E-Learning Trends presents additional varieties of online tools to include in your e-learning activities, in order to build a robust learning ecosystem. You will investigate tools that support online collaboration, videos, screencasts, podcasts, and live streaming, to promote deeper student engagement in your e-learning. You will also build your own framework for both evaluating and implementing tools within your e-learning activities. The methodology for this course is based on constructionism, where you create new learning by “tinkering” and creating learning artifacts with the tools, sharing them with your peers on a digital portfolio website, then discussing and reflecting on what you have learned.

Effective Learning Experience Designers (LXDs) respect and capitalize on the knowledge that each participant brings to the table. They know how to assess learner needs, and then build modules to target those areas. They understand that when learners create and drive their own learning experiences they are more likely to engage in the process, internalize, and apply the concepts presented. Therefore, this course is aimed at preparing LXDs to serve as facilitators of knowledge creation by equipping them with a toolkit of pedagogical and andragogical principles and practices that will invite learners to “play, pull, create, & explore” to satisfy individual’s learning needs.
