The benefits of online learning content
There are a number of benefits in creating online learning content as part of an EDU project for both you and the learners. Your learning content can be easily uploaded to the university’s virtual learning environment (VLE) and reused as and when required.
For learners, the online learning content can be accessed on a range of mobile devices and can be reviewed as often as they wish, to support their individual learning needs. This can be particularly important where learners may feel remote from their peers and tutors.
Benefits for the classroom
By focusing on core learning content outside of the classroom, the focus of the classroom and tutorial sessions can be on clarifying, developing and deepening understanding of learning content.
All efforts have been made to ensure materials created by the EDU comply with current accessibility guidelines (JISC: Support for learners with disabilities).
If further assistance is required with accessibility matters please contact the student support section in your academic partner UHI: Accessing learner support.
