Online course design

We offer assistance with open and distance learning policy formulation, course specification and planning and turnkey course design services .

Our online course design covers:

  • Learning outcomes
  • Assessment activities and learner feedback
  • Learning activity design
  • Learning and teaching asset production
  • Delivery platform selection
  • Interactive learning application tools selection

While moving to online education can mean simply uploading notes to the VLE and delivering lectures via videoconferencing, good use of learning technologies allows so much more to be done to engage students in active learning through exploration, reflection, debate, collaboration and creation.

We have been offering practical assistance to UoL programme teams and others to develop effective, engaging learning technologies-enhanced courses for almost 20 years.

Distance learning courses that we have contributed to include Accounting (UCL), Business Administration (Royal Holloway), Citizenship and History Education (UoL), Computing (Goldsmiths), Dentistry (Kings), Diplomacy (SOAS), Education (UCL), Energy and Climate Policy (SOAS), Eye Care (LSHTM), Global Public Policy (SOAS), Global Security (SOAS), History (SAS), International Development (SOAS), Law (Queen Mary), Livestock Health and Production (RVC), Molecular Biology (Birkbeck), Public Health (RVC), Veterinary Education (RVC).
