The Universities of Sussex and Brighton Announces New E-Learning Design Course

Date posted: 18 August 2006

BeLA members, including Brightwave, behind development of brand new e-learning certificate

The Universities of Sussex and Brighton recently announced the newly validated Post Graduate Certificate in E-Learning Design, which is being jointly delivered by the two universities.

The course was developed with the aid of a grant accessed by the Regional Development Office, at the University of Sussex, through Brighton & Hove City Council. This enabled comprehensive training needs analyses to be undertaken by Wired Sussex, who mange the Brighton e-Learning Alliance (BeLA). The course is acting as an industry benchmark, leading to an academic qualification recognised by leading local e-learning companies.

The course is designed to appeal to current practising e-learning designers looking for accreditation for their skills and also to individuals who want to gain a comprehensive range of new skills and become qualified in e-learning design.

"As one of the founding members of BeLA we are delighted that the course is now available," said Lars Hyland, Director of Learning Services for Brightwave. "This will help with up-skilling the e-learning workforce to be better prepared for working in our fast moving industry. The certification will also help to reinforce Brighton & Hove as the European centre of e-learning excellence."
