Course aims
This course aims at introducing pedagogical and technological methods of developing multimedia-based courses, providing an integrated approach to theory and practice of instructional design, and formation of skills needed for learning design. The course prepares participants for contributing to real-life course design projects and serves as an input for the following course IFI7237.DT Educational Technology and Learning Sciences. To develop a systematic understanding about main issues and developments related to digital learning resources, and in-depth knowledge and skills for searching, creating, using and evaluating digital learning resources.
Brief description of the course
Participants will be engaged in practical assignments in the context of a group project which takes them through four phases of learning design: needs analysis, selection and sequencing of the learning content, design of learning environment, and formative evaluation of the course. Main concepts related to digital learning resources. History of digital learning resources, learning objects, learning object repositories. Learning object metadata, EstCORE. Current topics and development trends related to digital learning resources. Lifecycle of digital learning resources. Quality assurance and evaluation models for digital learning resources. Authoring
tools for digital learning resources, H5P. Interactive content types, branching scenarios and learning analytics. Learning technology standardization: metadata, IMS QTI, xAPI, IMS LTI. Tools for creating questions and tests. Learning resources and copyright, open content licenses, open educational resources. Other formats of digital learning resources: e-textbooks, apps.

Learning outcomes in the course
Upon completing the course the student:
- describes the main instructional design models (ADDIE, Dick&Carey model, Reigeluth's ISD model, Merrienboer's 4C/ID, Merrill's Pebble-in-the-Pond) and explain the differences between them;
- analyses the needs of their target group and define learning objectives for a course;
- applies concept mapping and task analysis techniques for domain analysis;
- prepares a formative evaluation plan for a course prototype;
- describes the advantages and disadvantages of learning objects approach;
- chooses an appropriate tool for creating digital learning resources;
- creates a simple interactive learning resource, educational video and test, describe learning resources with metadata;
- follows copyright principles for creating and using digital learning resources;
- evaluates the quality of learning resources using an evaluation framework;
- analyzes the current issues, research studies and trends related to digital learning resources.
