Giunti Labs, a leading global vendor of learning content management solutions (learn eXact LCMS) and digital repository platforms (HarvestRoad Hive), is supporting the Faculty of Education Sciences at the University of Genoa in the provision of its Master’s in E-learning degree programme.

The programme, which is also supported by The European Pedagogical ICT Licence Group (EPICT) and the Italian Artificial Intelligence Association, is now in its fifth year. Running from February to December 2010, the programme offers formal education and a university degree in educational technologies - covering e-learning project design skills, as well as the organisation and management of technology supported learning programmes.

“We’re delighted to be able to support the University of Genoa in helping to set and disseminate best practice where designing, developing and delivering e-learning materials is concerned,” said Fabrizio Cardinali, of Giunti Labs. “It is vital that professionals in the e-learning sector develop their knowledge and skills to the utmost if organisations in all sectors of the economy are to reap the maximum benefit from the use of e-learning and related materials.”

Focusing especially on e-learning process management, the course aims to cover everything required to design, produce and deliver an e-learning course. This year, the main focus will be on e-learning material production and creating online learning communities.

The Master’s programme is principally delivered via distance learning, using a SCORM compliant e-learning platform which is designed for easy access, thus offering the students maximum flexibility to plan their studies. Students will be able to access the material at any time and contact both the tutors and fellow students.

The programme will also include a period of hands-on, practical experience for the students.

To qualify for the Master’s programme students will need to hold at least a Bachelor’s degree.

Registration for the Master’s programme closes on 16th January 2010.
