Designing and Conducting an E-Learning Course

Abstract

At a time when society is evolving at a dizzying pace on all levels, all the actors of the educational world found themselves faced with a situation where innovation, originality, and digital were essential notions to develop more abilities in education. A large majority of teachers who started putting their courses online didn't have the reflex to design or develop a course with specific activities planned for the online courses. A distance learning course must be structured around predefined activities and tasks in which the resources provided are invested, including the objectives, the methods of evaluation, the content to be assimilated, and the structuring activities. All these elements require a very demanding preparation and anticipation on the part of teachers, who are not necessarily trained or familiar with this type of training. Faced with this challenge, the authors asked themselves about the design and animation of online training (distance learning). To do this, they decided to study the theoretical references and the practical uses for the best engineering of the online course.
