- INSDSG619 Design and Instruction of Online Courses
- Course Description
- This course is for instructors, teachers, trainers, or instructional designers who want to explore the critical success factors in designing and delivering online instruction. Through readings, discussion, and various activities, we will examine the pedagogical implications of technology-mediated learning, the dynamics of the virtual classroom, the elements of effective online course design, as well as the tools and technologies available to create and deliver online instruction design, and to assess student performance. Through group-based and individual project work, we will design and create online lessons. This course will use a range of interactive and collaborative instructional techniques in an effort to provide current or potential online instructors rich firsthand experience of what it is like to be a student learning in an online environment.
