Fundamentals for Instructional Design for Online Learning

Catalog description

Behind every good learning environment (such as a website, app, webinar, online course, workshop, or interactive museum exhibit) is the work of an instructional designer. Instructional design is a creative process that uses learning theories and frameworks, project-planning, content expertise, communication, writing, and technology to engineer experiences for today's learners. This course emphasizes a systematic instructional planning process where educators learn how to effectively prepare online teaching for each grade band. Current face-to-face educators who are challenged with the task of transitioning their existing course materials to an online platform with minimal resources as well as those who are new to the instructional design process for online environments will benefit from this learning experience.
