Did you ever have that teacher who really knew their stuff but couldn’t get their point across? We help people get their point across. You’ll learn to help experts take complex knowledge and create learning and support materials that are easy to use by a novice. To do this you’ll learn how people learn and you’ll learn important design skills to help you create quality learning materials. You’ll learn instructional design, graphic design, information design, multimedia design and more!
We do plenty of that! You’ll learn how to design and develop websites. You’ll learn how to record, edit, and produce quality video and audio materials. You’ll work with graphic design software, image editing software, learning management systems, multimedia software and more. But the best part is you’ll learn not only how to use technology, but how to use technology to help improve human learning!
