Successful Virtual Classroom Course Design: Self-Study Course

Move beyond dry, presentation-style, listen-only-mode webinars.

Three popular modules from our in-house learning impact and instructional design programme in self-study format

 

What You Will Cover

The Successful Virtual Classroom Course Design course covers these three popular modules from our learning impact and instructional design programme and leads to an ITOL accredited Certificate in Virtual Classroom Course Design.

VC02: Virtual Classroom Fundamentals

A virtual classroom shares many similarities with a physical one. But successful virtual classroom sessions are rarely about just shifting a classroom course lock, stock and barrel into a virtual environment. This module covers some fundamental design principles and helps you understand how to

  • incorporate 4 key ingredients for virtual classroom success in your overall design
  • avoid death by bullet points - use a smart combination of visuals and text in any visuals or PowerPoint slides, and
  • successfully include a meaningful focus on skills practice in your virtual classroom sessions.

VC03: Keeping It Interactive

If you've ever attended a webinar, you'll know how easy it is to lose concentration or just get bored with what's going on. Attention spans are generally shorter in the virtual classroom. This is why meaningful collaboration and interactivity are critical to your virtual session's success. This module covers:

  • the key types of interaction and practice you should consider for your virtual classroom sessions
  • how to successfully align these types with your learning goals, and
  • the best approaches to building meaningful interactions and collaborative activities.

VC04: Designing a Virtual Classroom Session

Successful session design for the virtual classroom is highly dependent on having a robust, practical development framework to follow. This module covers how to:

  • clearly analyse the purpose of your content and its likely complexity
  • determine an overall flow for your session, and
  • design appropriate activities that sit within that overall flow.
 

How You Benefit

This course will show you how to:

  • Avoid dry, presentation-style webinars with minimal interactivity.
  • Apply a learner-centric, success-driven framework to your virtual classroom design.
  • Improve attention, engagement and effectiveness of learning during your virtual classroom sessions.
 

Who Is It For?

This course is ideal for:

  • anyone new to virtual classroom design.
  • experienced instructional designers, developing for the virtual classroom for the first time.
  • existing webinar and virtual classroom designers, ready to think differently about the purpose of their virtual classroom sessions and how they go about designing them.
