This week marks the start of postgraduate teaching for me and with it comes the launch of our new e-learning postgraduate endorsements.  It has been a long road of 18 months to bring these qualifications from concept to operation, but we now have a suite of 5 dedicated e-learning papers which can be combined into either a Postgrad Diploma (120 credits, aka 4 papers) or and MEd (which is a PGDip plus 4 more papers).  These programmes represent a bringing together of the Educational Technologies and Distance and Online Education endorsements of the past.  They also represent a significant ‘update’ in terms of programme content and focus, with practical design, development and teaching at the fore in the study of e-learning.

If you are interested in postgrad study in e-learning, you can choose from courses about:

• Instructional/Learning Design
• Foundations of e-learning
• Teaching with technology
• Trends in e-learning
• Advance e-learning practice
• Research into e-learning

Naturally, I’m biased about the quality of the programmes, but you can email me as programme coordinator if you’re interested in studying with us.
