Since 1996, Royal Roads University (RRU) has
delivered online courses on our own proprietary software in
order to meet our mandate:
“To excel at the provision of
continuous learning for people in the workplace”.
Our
success with courses for our learners led to interest from
the corporate sector in our instructional design skills and
customized learning tools. In response, the university
conceived and developed tools that would complement each
other while delivering specific learning outcomes.
The Centre for Teaching and Educational Technologies (CTET)
coordinates the design and development of all academic
courses at RRU, and collaborates with a variety of
external clients. We recognize that many excellent classroom
instructors have neither extensive experience with effective
on-line learning, nor the substantial computer skills needed
by most course development packages. Our products and
services enable your instructors and training staff to:
- Concentrate their time and knowledge on the course
content;
- Decrease their development learning curve - no
knowledge of HTML or other programming language is
required;
- Dynamically change the course content at any time;
and
- Re-use objects (text, images, videos etc.) from
the shared course object library.
