Design and Development of Digital Learning Material for Applied Data Analysis

Digital learning material was developed to help students acquire the necessary skills for the preparation and implementation of a data analysis protocol. The learning material focused on the relation between the main experimental and observational study types in human nutrition research and the appropriate methods of data analysis. This article describes the main guidelines derived from theories on learning and instruction and illustrates how they were used to develop the digital learning material. Evaluation of the learning material in an academic context indicated that students appreciated the learning material and achieved the learning objectives.
