Throughout, you’ll find vignettes that bring concepts to life as well as checklists and practical eLearning tools for designing and developing your first eLearning course.

In this book you will:

  • dive into the basics of eLearning design and development,
  • explore the eLearning course design and development process—from analysis through evaluation,
  • learn to write and storyboard a course, construct test questions, choose media, put the course together, and establish a thorough review process.

You can also download the tools and checklists from the book in an editable format.
