EDUC 763 Instructional Design for E-Learning
Instructor: Susan Manning
Description
Evaluation, discussion, and application of instructional design theories and principles for e-learning. Examination of hybrid, self-paced and facilitated e-learning experiences delivered via learning management systems. Scenario based simulations and case study analysis. Application of accessibility and usability guidelines in web-based course design. We'll help you create online courses that work efficiently. By understanding how people learn and how to design the experience conceptually and aesthetically, you can shape an effective and engaging learning experience. The course also addresses hybrid learning environments, synchronous and asynchronous concern, the use of a variety of media such as video and audio along with accessibility concerns, and effective evaluation of online course design.
Learning Outcomes
- Analyze and evaluate exemplary models of course design (hybrid and fully online) using case studies and actual courses. (ISTE NETS-T I)
- Demonstrate skills as the architect of e-learning experiences and establish strategies for building a design team. (ISTE NETS-T V)
- Understand how online students differ in their approaches to learning and the barriers that impede learning and adapt instruction to meet the diverse needs of students, including those with disabilities and exceptionalities. (ISTE NETS-T VI)
- Apply instructional design theory and research, universal design, usability concepts, and analyze learning styles in the development of e-learning activities. (ISTE NETS-T II, III, VI)
- Integrate multimedia, learning objects, social networking concepts, and synchronous technologies in the design of course content and activities.(ISTE NETS-T II)
- Design an e-learning unit/module based on quality online course design principles using a learning management system.(ISTE NETS-T II, II)
