 Topic
A3: Instructional Design
Introduction
“Why, exactly,
am I doing or teaching this in my class?” It’s
a question that many instructors admit they’ve rarely asked themselves.
Although experts in their subjects, they say they rarely think systematically
about the teaching and learning process, or how to incorporate what
is known about this process into the design of their courses. In a
traditional classroom, because of its familiar environment, this approach
may work. But, the online environment is new, uncharted, frequently
confusing, and it requires new ways of thinking about how to present
content and interact with students.
