It’s about crafting an environment where media skills and technology form the language of the learning environment.Throughout the program, you’ll discover how to incorporate interactive instructional tools to enrich the learning experience. Some of these methods include the use of tools like Apple’s professional media creation applications and other digital media concepts, and even techniques like storytelling methods and game strategies.You’ll also explore different theories about how people learn, discover how to take advantage of different motivational techniques, and learn how to create compelling and inspirational content for online curricula. This well-rounded education will help you enhance your content creation skills in preparation for entering or advancing through the career fields of corporate training, instructional design, education, and online learning.
