Building a new online platform

Abstract

This poster will give insights into the Instructional Designer team's journey in evolving its methods for developing online courses. It will cover the transition from academic support to designing MOOCs on external platforms and developing courses for an in-house Learning Management System. A key aspect is the focus on targeting a different kind of learner moving beyond the traditional university student. The poster will look at the challenges, successes, and lessons learned throughout this transformation, underlining the processes, pedagogical approaches, partnerships involved as well as the challenges yet to come.
