3. Understanding the learning needs of women within their local context

Allow about 35 minutes for this session overall

Having studied what makes an online course attractive to learners, we now turn to the learner. The challenge for those who design and produce online courses is to understand who their learners are, their learning needs and how to link these to the learning outcomes, content and assessment of the course. Focusing on women in marginalised communities, this session provides three inter-linked activities for addressing this challenge.
