eLearning Features

Iowa Reading Research Center eLearning modules are written and developed by literacy experts at the IRRC and trusted collaborators. Participants may view the modules as often as they like for a full year (365 days) and can do so from any desktop or laptop connected to the internet. The following eLearning features are intended to help participants get the most out of their time spent completing the modules:

• Engaging animated representations of real-life scenarios.
• Videos showing the featured instructional method being used in real Iowa classrooms. Other videos include discussion from experts in literacy education, developmental pediatrics, and other specialty areas, as well as families.
• Interactive text, visual, and audio content featuring quizzes.
• A posttest to assess for knowledge gained.

Free for Iowa Educators

All eLearning courses are free for all Iowa teachers, other school district personnel, and AEA personnel.

Free For College Instructors to Enroll Their Students

Faculty teaching courses about literacy instruction at colleges and universities in Iowa can register their teacher preparation students for eLearning modules at no cost. Instructors should be aware that eLearning modules (except for “Dyslexia Overview”) are designed for teachers who have earned their college degrees and have teaching experience. It is the instructor’s job to ensure that their students have a sufficient understanding of the material before enrolling them. Students enrolled in an eLearning module through this method will receive a completion certificate when all requirements are met and have access to the module for a year after their enrollment date.

If you would like to enroll your students or have questions, email IRRC@uiowa.edu.
