You will be presented with the concept that, just as in the real world we have certain rights, responsibilities, and standards of behavior as citizens, this is true in the digital world as well. This will be supported by looking at the similarities between the two worlds. Your understanding of what digital citizenship entails will be increased by examining its three principles, each of which is comprised of three elements. You will be counselled on how to practice good citizenship using each of the elements. The course finishes up with giving you exercises designed to reinforce the principles.

This course will ensure that training personnel have the skills to develop eLearning courses. It starts by outlining the common elements of common instructional design models and summarizing the common elements of eLearning development. Then each element is explored and practiced to gain practical skills in eLearning development.
