Creative course design and delivery
Designing a course is a complex process.
First, you have to establish clear learning outcomes that meet the needs of both you and your learners.
Next, you need to design a sequence of engaging learning activities that enable your learners to achieve the outcomes.
And finally, it’s essential to minimise any barriers your learners may face at each stage of your course.
