Following the breakout of COVID-19, many colleges had to transition to online learning, but very few had the infrastructure or the know-how of how to set up and operate an online platform let alone design, develop and deliver online learning content to international students. ESLAN has had extensive experience creating online learning content and materials using a host of online learning platforms and online course creating tools to facilitate for Australian education providers to continue their operations online during and after the pandemic. Although the world has largely moved past the pandemic, online learning has become a necessity and an integral part of a well-run college ensuring that students do have the support in and out of the classroom. ESLAN can help you with the use of the following 3 tools:
Moodle (Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment) is a free, open-source learning management system (LMS) used to create and manage online educational courses and training programs. It offers tools for content delivery, assessment, communication, and collaboration, making it widely used in educational institutions, corporate training, and other learning environments. ESLAN can help your college to set up your Moodle platform and align the appearance and design with your branding guidelines so that it looks like an extension of your website. ESLAN can also help you develop modules or units on your Moodle for a myriad of purposes such as orientation, forms, virtual staff room, placement tests, surveys and of course quizzes and assessments.
H5P (HTML5 Package) is an open-source tool that enables the creation, sharing, and reuse of interactive content, such as quizzes, presentations, videos, and games. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with various learning management systems (LMS) like Moodle, Canvas, and Blackboard, enhancing educational experiences by making content more engaging and interactive. In addition to integrating H5P into your Moodle (or other learning platforms if necessary), ESLAN can develop activities and quizzes for your students as formative, summative assessments or simply as homework or supplementary materials for practice. Finally, ESLAN can convert the content of any textbook into a series of online modules that are available for your students anywhere any time.
iSpring Suite is an all-in-one eLearning authoring toolkit that integrates with PowerPoint to help create interactive online courses, quizzes, video tutorials, and simulations. It supports SCORM and other eLearning standards, making it compatible with most Learning Management Systems (LMS). With features like dialogue simulations, screen recording, and a content library, it’s widely used for corporate training, education, and instructional design. Like with H5P, ESLAN can assist in building a neat-looking online learning modules that your staff can post on your college’s website or online platform to enable your students to benefit from supplementary content free of charge aligned with the learning outcomes as outlined in the curriculum and syllabus.
