Create video, audio and infographics for online learning
Multimodal content — video, audio, and infographics — makes online learning more effective. Learners retain more when information is presented across multiple formats, and this course shows you how to create it.
You'll work through a systematic design process grounded in four key principles: purpose, space, time, and the instructor's role. Starting with foundational design theory, you'll move through hands-on creation of three content types: infographics, educational podcasts, and instructional videos. Tools like Canva, Venngage, and Visme are introduced to support your infographic work, and you'll hear directly from experienced practitioners through expert podcast interviews in every module.
By the end of the course, you'll have created real learning resources and refined them through feedback using a structured critical friend protocol.
After completing the course, you'll be able to independently design, create, and evaluate multimodal learning content using a systematic process. Rather than guessing which format to use, you'll make informed, evidence-based decisions aligned to your learners' needs — and you'll have a completed resource package to demonstrate those skills.
This course is relevant to instructional designers, e-learning developers, teachers, corporate trainers, learning experience designers, and higher education faculty. The skills you build — design thinking, content creation, and iterative feedback — apply across education sectors and industries wherever online or blended learning is used.
No prior design or software experience is required.

I learned more in one lesson of this class than a 7 week university class of a similar nature. Thanks.

With the way the course is set up, there is a lectures that go over some pretty general themes on the topic. Then there are links to outside sources and links that go into more detail. Some of these links are good, but there's a lot to go through and some hoops to jump through to access them. Then there's some discussion amongst educators on the subject. There's some good content, but I would have liked to have seen more stuff in the lessons themselves that can help me improve my own lessons. I wanted to first hand content to have more depth and not to have to search through third party sources and links to get specific stuff. The lectures and discussions were too general.

They offer a big amount of resources and the right amount of theory and guidance to star developing materials that will improve your online classes. Although I´m sure this will be handy when preparing my classes in a synchronous and presencial mode.

The content of the course is very interesting. The structure of the course is also good, however the podcast of week 5 did not mix well into the rest of the course. I think the absence of someone that will give you feedback on the practice exercises makes people (at least me) less keen of undertaking them. Overall good but large room for improvement.

El curso estuvo bueno y muy informativo. Sin embargo, buscaba un enfoque distinto. En realidad creí que era un curso para enseñarnos a transformar infografías en videos. Pero de igual manera, lo disfrute.
