Mentored Courses

All of the courses at Online-Learning are related to the emerging field of Information Design. We provide training in skills such as writing, graphic design, human factors design and technology languages (e.g. XML, XSL-FO, XSLT) related to single source publishing.

• Our writing and design courses provide students with a systematic approach to planning, writing and designing business documents and correspondence, technical documents, online help systems, and web-based training courses.
• Our graphic design course provides students with additional training in the preparation of graphics for any of these information products.
• Our human factors design courses provide students with a systematic user-centered design approach to the design of online information and practical experience in user interface analysis, user interface design and usability testing.
• Our technology language courses provide students with practical training in using XML technologies such as XML, DTD, XSLT, and XSL-FO. XML has become the industry-standard for creating single source documentation and e-commerce applications.

Each course includes:

• Course readings and interactive quizzes.
• Assignments that provide students with an opportunity to practice the new skills they are learning. Each assignment is marked and students receive feedback to help them to develop their skills.
• Instructor mentoring via discussion groups, chat and e-mail.
• The opportunity to receive a certificate from universities in the United States and Canada.
