Course Writing (Development) BWR107

£395.00

Learn to write and develop courses for post secondary or adult education. Approaches to education are variable, and development of any course should maintain focus on both aims and delivery method. Some courses are developed to be teacher-centered; others to be student-centered. Delivery methods can also vary (e.g. Classroom, Workplace, Online) and course development requires a different approach in each instance.
