In this two-year Ontario Graduate Certificate program, students will learn how to work closely with the subject matter and industry experts to create online training and educational modules that will meet the diverse needs of varying audiences.



Students will learn how to work with the following technological tools to support the design and development of eLearning and training materials: Articulate 360, Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, Web Conferencing and Authoring Tools, and Learning Management Systems.



Upon completion of this program, graduates will be able to assess learning and training needs, in a Canadian setting, and create an effective eLearning and training online learning experience that meets the needs of various target groups and audiences. Graduates will be employable in any industry that values and supports lifelong learning, training, upskilling, and development.



This program incorporates a Canadian context to eLearning theory and educational development and is supported by a capstone project in the second semester, which will draw together all the technical skills developed in the year of study.



In Semester Four, students will apply the knowledge and skills they gained throughout the program, in a work placement. Students will participate in either a paid work placement (co-op), or an unpaid work placement (field placement). Both options have 280 hours of participation.
