How can we demonstrate that we have successfully attained a skill in a continuously changing online course landscape?

    Multimedia for eLearning Developers (CSSL 96)

    There is abundant research demonstrating that not all students learn the same way and therefore it is important to cater to a variety of modalities when designing online educational materials.

Students will also learn copyright law as it pertains to educational use of materials.
