Abstract

Designing digital learning materials for the most experienced online learners higher education (HE) has yet to encounter requires more than embedding videos and quizzes into virtual learning environments (VLEs). It is more important than ever to create content in an engaging and fully interactive way, cover key concepts but make sure that each section is not too long and use clear and concise language. Breaking up text using photographs that show a range of ethnicities, ages, genders and abilities is vital but not easily achieved. Academic and critical thinking skills need to be embedded and scaffolded throughout.
