Guidelines for translating text materials into eLearning courses - imparting learning techniques to text with interactive assets

Abstract

This paper analyses what learning techniques can be adapted to translate text materials into interactive eLearning courses. Some translation guidelines are presented to assist course editors, regardless of whether they are the authors of the text materials or not, to accommodate their text tutorials in a dynamic online environment. These translation guidelines are underpinned by existing research outcomes and the development of an eLearning platform which has hosted at least 15 projects for online courses over the last 6 years.
