Online learning can be overwhelming, but intentional design can make a difference. This session explores how applying multimedia principles using H5P can reduce learner anxiety while increasing engagement.

During this session, the instructional design team at an Academic Medical Center will describe a Hybrid Faculty Training Plan, designed specifically for level-setting faculty to teach hybrid and online content to graduate students within the D2L Brightspace platform. The 13-week training follows a phased approach, gradually advancing from foundational concepts to complex implementation strategies.
