Designing an interactive Chinese e-learning course for young heritage learners
Designing an interactive Chinese e-learning course for young heritage learners
Designed a Chinese e-learning course for young heritage learners, including course proposal, syllabus, curriculum design, and a sample module. The project focused on creating a learner-centered, media-rich online experience that combined structured pacing, contextualized language tasks, and interactive practice.
项目背景
The course was designed for children ages 6-9 learning Chinese online in a bisynchronous format, with asynchronous learning supported by regular check-ins for progress and questions.
核心问题
Asynchronous language learning for young beginners needs stronger engagement and pacing, along with more visual, contextualized practice that supports real language use.
设计过程
Started with a course proposal and defined course-level learning outcomes
Designed the syllabus and overall course flow before building module content
Used alignment planning to connect outcomes, activities, and assessments
Developed a sample module on food and drink as a learner-facing prototype
Built an H5P branching scenario for ordering food in a realistic context
Used storyboards to plan interaction logic before developing media and activities
交付内容
Syllabus
Course design document with alignment matrix
Orientation and Week 15 sample module
H5P branching scenario for ordering food
项目成果
Produced a full course prototype that demonstrated how curriculum planning could be translated into an engaging online learning experience for young heritage learners. Instructor feedback was strongly positive, including: “I am thrilled with what you were able to create in just a few short months.”
项目反思
This project reinforced that strong e-learning for young learners depends on more than content delivery. It requires intentional pacing, contextual task design, and interactions that make language use feel meaningful. It also strengthened my ability to move from course-level planning to detailed module and interaction design.
