As instructors increasingly deliver courses online, it's important that we find learning technologies that are highly engaging to the student. Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) modules will allow instructors to easily develop interactive course modules that integrate content, narration and evaluation in a mobile-friendly format. This workshop will provide a crash course in EdApp, a free authoring tool that can be used to create SCORM modules that can be delivered to students through myCourselink/D2L.
