FROM CONTENT TO COURSE
Building Effective Online Learning at UAMS
Creating an online course is a partnership between Subject Matter Experts and the Onboarding and Development Services team.
You bring the expertise.Subject Matter Experts provide the knowledge, context, and real-world experience that makes training meaningful. You know the content better than anyone, and that expertise is the foundation everything else is built on. |
We bring the learning design.The Onboarding & Development Services team transforms your content into an engaging, accessible, and effective online learning experience by handling instructional design, course development, accessibility compliance, and publication from start to finish. |
The Biggest Myth
A PowerPoint is not an online course.
PowerPoint presentations are valuable source materials, but online learning requires instructional design, accessibility review, learner engagement, testing, and stakeholder review.
“In a classroom, the instructor fills in the gaps. In online learning, there can be no gaps.”
