Create dynamic online study materials that offer students unique learning opportunities

Online learning is increasingly available in the education marketplace, as prospective students, many of whom are working professionals, seek the flexibility that online study offers. However, online learning is more than just a recreation of traditional in-person study. It requires a deliberate and strategic design for learning to provide students with engaging and supportive learning experiences in the online environment.

The Graduate Certificate in Education (Innovative Learning Design) explores the emerging field of digital education theory and practice, underpinned by the core principles of adult teaching and learning in a dynamic digital workspace. The industry is expanding to meet demand, and learning design jobs are projected to grow by 21.7% worldwide in the next five years, and by 12.6% in Australia.

By studying for a Graduate Certificate in Education (Innovative Learning Design), you will gain a deep understanding of the core principles of learning and instructional design within a dynamic digital space. You will also be well-equipped to prepare innovative learning experiences that are inclusive of diverse learners and responsive to advances in technology.

Studying through QUT Online, you have access to all that QUT has to offer, but you’re able to engage in self-paced study, with lots of support.” ~ Professor Susan Irvine, Head of School, Faculty of Creative Industries, Education & Social Justice, School of Early Childhood & Inclusive Education
