In the ever-changing world of further education, colleges face several challenges. These include increased competition for learners, the need to maintain and elevate teaching quality in accordance with evolving inspection frameworks, and ensuring learners develop the knowledge, skills, and behaviours necessary for their successful progression and achievement.

Course Design for Sticky Learning

Are you designing online courses that keep students fully engaged and wanting to return? The ‘stickiness’ of your online course is not just about how much great content there is. It is also how you use content and the course design to keep students wanting to come back over and over again. This webinar will demonstrate ways to make your courses exciting with real examples, proper takeaways and fab ideas - all to keep your learners coming back, wanting more and to create some powerful learning that will truly ‘stick’
