Specialist Diploma programme - e-Learning Instructional Designers

Singapore’s economy depends on a well-trained workforce. The Government has called upon industries and businesses to provide training for the workforce in order to remain competitive in the world market. Training of new staff and the re-training of existing staff in various industries will be important to companies to maintain competitiveness and to increase productivity.
For effective training, it is imperative that trainers be able to design and develop good training methodologies and materials, and to use multimedia technology to enhance the effectiveness of training. e-Learning is seen as an important vehicle to deliver many kinds of workplace training solutions, as well as to contribute to worker re-training efforts and lifelong-learning.
Additionally, e-learning by itself is an industry which has grown tremendously in the past couple years, and is forecast to further expand in the near future, both in Singapore and around the world. But with this industry expansion has come a sudden and increased demand for professionals who are capable of designing, developing, and managing e-learning systems focusing on adult learners.

To help meet this demand, NIE has created a Specialist Diploma programme to prepare professional e-Learning Instructional Designers.
