Multimodal content — video, audio, and infographics — makes online learning more effective. Learners retain more when information is presented across multiple formats, and this course shows you how to create it.

You'll work through a systematic design process grounded in four key principles: purpose, space, time, and the instructor's role. Starting with foundational design theory, you'll move through hands-on creation of three content types: infographics, educational podcasts, and instructional videos. Tools like Canva, Venngage, and Visme are introduced to support your infographic work, and you'll hear directly from experienced practitioners through expert podcast interviews in every module. By the end of the course, you'll have created real learning resources and refined them through feedback using a structured critical friend protocol. After completing the course, you'll be able to independently design, create, and evaluate multimodal learning content using a systematic process. Rather than guessing which format to use, you'll make informed, evidence-based decisions aligned to your learners' needs — and you'll have a completed resource package to demonstrate those skills. This course is relevant to instructional designers, e-learning developers, teachers, corporate trainers, learning experience designers, and higher education faculty. The skills you build — design thinking, content creation, and iterative feedback — apply across education sectors and industries wherever online or blended learning is used. No prior design or software experience is required.

In this module, we explore four key principles for your learning sequence: time, space, purpose, and the online instructor's role. We also cover the 'rapid-design process', providing tools and techniques for upcoming multimodal content creation. Prepare to design and create your own multimodal texts!
