Leveraging Digital Platforms to Support Research Impact
Find out the many ways researchers can leverage digital platforms and strategies to meet their goal for knowledge exchange and dissemination.
Interactive Learning Modules
An interactive learning module is a short, self-directed, and on-demand structured learning sequence, such as a lesson or tutorial, that contains interactive content, including quizzes, embedded videos, and text fields that researchers can use to mobilize and disseminate their research.
Online Guides and Learning Resources
Unlike interactive learning modules, online guides and sharable learning resources are static documents and pages used to present content, such as a textbook, webpage, or a pdf document.
Online Courses and Community Outreach
Online courses and outreach projects may be self-paced or synchronous on-demand learning opportunities comprised of—but not limited to—interactive learning modules, guides, and other shareable resources. These are typically administered through a course delivery platform and involve a longer period of time (e.g., several weeks) for participants to complete a course of learning.
