The Designing Online Learning Course (DOLC) is a 2-day face-to-face course where you will develop the skills required to design engaging, effective and compelling moodle-based learning on the Defence Learning Environment (DLE).
DOLC training is mandated for all DLE course designers and those developing online learning within the DLE. Completion of DLE Role Functionality Training (DLERFT) to Intermediate Level (DLEINT) is a pre-requisite, and must be completed before applying for the DOLC.
DLERFT gives you the technical skills to create learning on the DLE. The DOLC must be completed within 18 months of completion of DLEINT.
There are 8 modules which make up the DOLC online course. They are split into two categories:
*syndicate activities
*guidance modules
Each session will consist of two 45-minute modules and will be delivered every Tuesday and Thursday.
The sessions are as follows:
*syndicate activities
*DLE quality rubric and course planning
*engaging course content and accessibility guidance modules
*look and feel and learning pathways
*DLE assessments and feedback
To book onto any of the modules, please use the 'Register your interest' button.
To gain the full DOLC competency, you will be required to complete all 8 modules as well as the post course activity. The post course activity requires you to create a DLE course using content from the 8 modules.
You will learn/develop the following, including but not limited to:
*how to design and create engaging, effective and compelling moodle-based learning on the DLE
*about the elements, key to planning good or better online learning
*how to assure and improve quality of DLE courses
*accessibility in online learning
This course will provide you with the skills necessary to create good or better online learning within the DLE.
DLERFT must be completed before role permissions can be allocated on the DLE. A certificate will be issued upon successful completion of the course
