Course Info
Self-paced e-learning can be deployed in a variety of ways—from full courses to performance support opportunities to blended learning experiences. Regardless of how you use e-learning, intentional and thoughtful instructional design is an essential element. Well-designed e-learning courses and modules engage learners and enable them to acquire and apply new knowledge and skills.
