This course extends your digital planning skills from Level 1 into more intentional, experiment-focused practice. You’ll explore how to choose and adapt applications, games and online resources to match learning goals, audience needs and accessibility requirements. You’ll unpack what makes a resource genuinely interactive and gamified (beyond just adding points), and learn how to work with standards such as SCORM, xAPI and HTML5 so your content plays nicely with your LMS.
You’ll also examine copyright, Creative Commons and terms of use in more depth, including practical strategies for sourcing and licensing media safely. Finally, you’ll look at how digital communities of practice and communication channels (from Teams and Slack to emojis and forums) can support collaboration with colleagues and learners, and how to choose the right channel and tone for different purposes.
Quality training and assessment depends on trainers who can plan digital learning experiences that are valid, accessible and legally compliant. This course supports requirements around training and assessment practice, learner support and use of technology by helping you select appropriate tools, understand file types and standards, manage IP and copyright risk, and use digital communities to improve practice. It also strengthens your ability to design engaging, gamified activities that still align with units, assessment requirements and organisational policies.
