Overview

Overview

Gain in-demand skills in digital-learning design and development with the Graduate Certificate in Digital Learning and Teaching at Victoria University.

Our career-focused course will teach you to create effective online learning activities and content. You'll learn the production processes of digital instruction design and development, graduating ready to work in this ever-expanding field.

Engage with AI tools, processes, and knowledge so that you can take advantage of rapidly changing technology. For example, there is the opportunity to create a conversation agent for an education outcome.

In class we appraise new tools and practices. With the goal of future-proofing your study, we continue to examine new and emerging areas in our field.

This course was written by members of VU’s Learning Design & Innovation team who teach into the course. We draw on our alumni network to gain further insights into changes in the field.

You'll work on industry and community projects and develop an interview-ready portfolio by the end of the course. Graduating with up-to-date knowledge of technical tools and digital systems, you will understand how learning analytics can inform your work and how courses can apply digital tools to improve the learning experience.

The course is designed for a range of professionals (both technically proficient and those less so).

Classes are held online outside of business hours (no campus attendance required).

As this is a relatively new field, a wide range of previous undergraduate degrees meet the selection criteria. Please contact Dr. Natasha Dwyer at [email protected]  for more information.
