Level 5

Digital Learning Designer

In a post-pandemic world, online learning has become ‘the norm’ for those in post-16 education.

While traditional, in-person learning continues to have an important place in the market, more and more consumers and learning providers are taking a digital-by-default approach to learning.

The benefits are numerous and include cost-effectiveness, flexibility and convenience, scalability, reach, ease of customisation and real-time feedback and assessment.

Moreso, employers are investing in their own digital learning products to upskill their teams; using the data and insights to both ensure regulatory compliance and have a sharper lens on employee engagement and productivity.
