Abstract

This paper examines the content development challenges involved with creating eLearning courses for social justice and anti-bias training and how one institution is addressing that challenge for audiences within the private and public sectors. The program offers a variety of interactive learning strategies that engage users, provide opportunities for interpersonal and professional dialogue, and enables individualized learning experiences. The online programs present pre- and post-extensions to face-to-face events, traditional programs adapted for online use and original courses developed solely for online distribution. The environment for this content utilizes a combination of synchronous and asynchronous events. The goals for this project are to increase access to a successful social justice training program, to do so affordably, and to provide a framework for ongoing learning not previously available.
