Class 103

This address the basics of instructional design. Some of it is not in our control, yet it's good to know about it. Do you think that there is one section of this study that is more important than the others?

Keith,

You are right. Communication, communication, communication. . .can we say it enough? ;-p Thanks!

Online courses are good! Communication is very key to get help.

Tammy,

Effective design can assist with effective teaching and learning. We don't want our students (or instructors) to become frustrated. Thanks!

I do agree the instructional design is the key in the online learning environment. This is especially critical during the first week of new student. When the student is confused and not able to navigate around the system, they become frustrated and feel incompetent. This will lead to low retention.

Richard,

Instructional design is key in the online learning environment. Navigation is one component of the learning environment. Thanks for your input.

The instructional design of a course is one of the most crucial aspect of a module. It is through the design of the course that allows for easy navigation for students understanding. If a course is poorly designed, the learner could become frustrated and decide to quit. This is not the desired response. We want to create a learning environment that promotes easy learning and develops critical thinking.
