Course Info

Description 

Learning material is presented using a combination of text and static images over a series of lessons.

Course Use-Cases 

• Courses that are heavy on definitions and background information
• Content that is rapidly evolving and therefore difficult to keep up-to-date with other course types
• Courses in which the audience follows a 'choose your own adventure' path through the content most relevant to their context

Delivery Platform 

• Delivered on the Ed-Fi Academy site via LearnDash 

Course Options and Guidelines

• May include brief activities or quizzes (see the article Workbook & Activity Feature Overview for a current list).
• Lessons should aim for a length of no more than 1,000 words; most lessons will be between about 300 and 700 words.
• Use images or visualizations to illustrate content and visually break up long blocks of text.

Course Production Details 

• These courses are typically scripted by the Academy Team
• Visuals for these courses are typically created by the Academy Team
• The final product is typically produced in-house

Course Templates & Examples 

TB 01. Text-only progression through a topic

This template walks the student through a series of text-based lessons in one or more modules. This format shares similarities with a textbook or blog, with more interactivity than the former and more focus than the latter.

Examples 

• Ed-Fi 141 Data Engineering Lifecycle

TB 02. Text-based with embedded videos

This template uses the text-based structure of TB 01 with the addition of one or more embedded videos that add instruction or demos. Embedded videos follow the templates outlined for Single-Video Courses.

Examples 

• Ed-Fi 144 Creating Your Local Analytics Environment
