Computing, artificial intelligence and ITE-Learning DesignCert (PG) 1 year part-time The PGCert in E-Learning Design is a part-time programme aimed at those working in or intending to work in the e-learning industry. Two potential awards are available: a 60 credit and a 90 credit version. The 60-credit PGCert in E-Learning Design is suitable for students with a background in education, multimedia or computing. This programme provides a means of augmenting their skillsets to fit the needs of the e-learning industry. For those already working in the industry, the 90 credit PGCert in E-Learning Design (Professional Practice) offers opportunities to strengthen and expand existing knowledge and skills, and to demonstrate proficiency in a professional setting. The Postgraduate Certificate in E-Learning Design is the result of a SEEDA-funded collaboration between the University of Sussex, University of Brighton and e-Learning companies in Brighton from BeLA (the Brighton E-Learning Alliance). It was driven by a demand for education, training and certification from the e-learning companies, both to support their existing staff and to help fuel further growth when recruiting new staff. Areas covered by the programme include e-learning design, learning technologies, project management, and theories of learning (60 and 90 credit versions). The full 90 credit PGCert in E-Learning Design (Professional Practice) provides an opportunity to develop effective reflective practice in the workplace. Successful graduates from either version may choose to use credits gained in this course towards an MSc in Learning Technologies offered by the University of Brighton. Admission requirementsA good first degree in a relevant field is normally required, eg computing, education, or creative writing. However, applicants with relevant experience may also be considered.
