e-Learning Units
The following units are the BTEC accredited assessment components of our e-learning professional development certificate and award. Each unit is worth 40 credits and is measured with a short practical assessment undertaken during the event.
NE01: Design e-Learning
This unit considers strategies and techniques for the design of effective e-learning. It employs a practical, problem-solving approach to designing pedagogically aligned e-learning across diverse levels of learning and teaching. It aims to develop skills in planning and design that will allow subsequent development and implementation processes to be more efficient and more likely to meet their goals.
Key Unit Areas
- Key educational concepts and their impact on e-learning design
- Learning needs analysis, learner profiling and learning styles
- Instructional design for e-learning
- Critical evaluation of e-learning activities
- Blending directed, guided and self-directed e-learning
- Aligning delivery methods to learning outcomes
- Scaffolding higher level e-learning
- Constructing a realistic e-learning design brief

NE02: Develop e-Learning
This unit examines the evaluation of e-learning resources and aligning them with the desired learning levels and outcomes. It aims to develop an understanding of how to discover, select and blend resources to meet learning goals under modern presures to re-use existing content or incorporate content produced externally.
Key Unit Areas
- Optimising learning through complimentary media mix
- Scoping resources for e-learning content
- Developing individual and team skills through e-learning activities
- Scripting scenario based e-learning sessions
- Implementing directed, guided and self directed approaches to e-learning
- Developing learners through high level engagement
- Developing a range of e-learning resources

NE03: Assess e-Learning
This unit covers assessment techniques that can be aligned with your e-learning design to produce authentic, realistic asessments. It considers the differences between the tools provided with e-learning frameworks for assessing learners, and how to use them to get the meaningful results you need.
Key Unit Areas
- Pedagogic fitness of assessment methods and techniques
- Aims analysis and learning objectives in assessment design
- The role of feedback in developing successful learning
- Using assessment blueprints to design online assessment
- Aligning online assessment to the learning situation
- Designing effective online assessment to develop learning
- Providing effective online feedback to aid learning through a range of methods

NE04: Evaluate e-Learning
This unit reveals the evaluation process in detail, showing how to gain the feedback you need to improve your elearning and to demonstrate it's benefits. It will help you understand how to build a well-structured evaluation framework allowing you to monitor the successes and shortcomings of your e-learning projects, adapt to the learner's needs and deliver the best experience.
Key Unit Areas
- Quantitative and qualitative techniques for measuring the success of e-learning
- Evaluation criteria to measure the effectiveness of e-learning
- Implementing an evaluation process for e-learning sessions
- Critical evaluation of participant feedback for a selected e-learning intervention
- Summarising feedback trends and make recommendations to improve e-learning
- Using analysis data to improve e-learning interventions
