As organizations continue to look to technology and online education to enhance and expand learning opportunities, the demand for professionals skilled in instructional design continues to increase. The Learning Experience Design Certificate Program consists of a series of five courses that guides participants through the course design and development process.
This program focuses on instructional design theories, frameworks, tools, and practical applications to develop effective and high quality learning experiences on digital platforms. This program is designed for new and experienced instructional designers, faculty, multimedia specialists, and those who support online course design and development in their organizations (K–12 education, higher education, corporate training, or related organizations).
This certificate program includes 5 courses that can be purchased separately or bundled together for a discount. Courses are open to all participants, not just those pursuing a certificate program.
Requirements
These online courses require access to a computer with Internet access, email, an Internet browser (Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox recommended), MS PowerPoint, and Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Format
Online format with six months to complete the entire program. Each individual course must be completed in four weeks.
What You Will Earn
After successfully completing all courses in the certificate program, you will be able to download an official LSU certificate. We recommend you print out this certificate and showcase it with pride!
Completers will also receive a digital badge that showcases your new skill set and provides employers with a reliable way to assess your capabilities. These badges serve as a visual representation of your accomplishments and can be shared on social media, personal websites, or professional networking sites.
