Course Content
Building intercultural skills in the 21st century, where face-to-face workshops are being increasingly replaced by learning technologies, is challenging. The Modern Learner is time-poor, constantly distracted and very selective when it comes to highly-tailored and high-quality content.
Creating a customized, immersive intercultural learning experience that’s mobile, instant and in a micro-format requires innovation, imagination and tools that help to make it happen.
This course will introduce you to innovative blended approaches to modern learning, underpinned by an ADDIE method of instructional design and the latest research from the neuroscience of learning.
You will learn how new learning technologies and a brain-friendly approach to learning can improve intercultural competence, accelerate learning and maximize the transfer of learning to the workplace.
You will explore a unique combination of technological tools and human interaction that creates a collaborative learning environment and delivers a memorable experience. You will also develop a better understanding of how technology and psychology are used to motivate different types of learners and how it supports immediate applications of learning to the workplace.
