Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Determine the scope and research the e-learning resource
   • Clarify the brief and focus for the e-resource with the client
   • Research the likely target audience for the e-resource, their characteristics and learning needs
   • Read, interpret and analyse existing relevant information, to determine the learning content for an e-learning resource
   • Determine the suitability of an e-learning resource for the likely target audience
   • Identify any ethical and legal considerations
   • Document findings of the research
2. Design the e-learning resource
   • Use knowledge and experience in learning theory and instructional design, to create the design for the e-learning resource
   • Plan resources, materials and technical requirements needed for development of the e-learning resource based on the design of the e-learning resource
   • Present and discuss the design with the client, and obtain further feedback of the e-learning resource
   • Incorporate feedback and address any additional issues in the design
   • Confirm with client the design to be developed into the e-learning resource
3. Develop the e-learning resource
   • Identify the relevant people to collaborate with on the development of the e-learning resources
   • Determine the timelines and resource issues for the production of the e-learning resource
   • Consult and use relevant technical guidelines and requirements
   • Address any identified legal or ethical obligations, or issues that arise in the development of the e-learning resource
   • Develop content and technical framework of the e-learning resources, and address any issues as they arise with relevant persons
   • Document the development of the e-learning resource
4. Review, trial and evaluate the e-learning process
   • Review the e-learning resource against the client brief, likely target audience and learning needs
   • Plan for the trial of the e-learning resource with potential users
   • Trial the resource with appropriate recording of outcomes and feedback
   • Analyse outcomes and feedback of the trial
   • Make adjustments to finalise the e-learning resource
   • Discuss and reflect on production of the e-learning resource
