Elements of Instructional Design
Effective teaching begins with effective planning. Instructional
design represents the foundation on which to build the most
effective learning environment for students. Good design principles
consider the goals and learning objectives of the course,
the needs of each student, the course materials and resources,
and the technology available to deliver the course.
Identify the design elements that make the most sense for
your course and incorporate them into your development process.
Developing Online Courses
Chances are when you decide to put your course online, your
instructional materials are stored in several formats. You
might have books, paper handouts, pictures, and movies that
have been used as supporting material to lectures in your
face-to-face classroom. Or, you might already have some electronic
resources, such as word processing documents and lists of
web sites that relate to your course. So, where do you start?
The following resource guide will help you plan, organize,
and create your online course.

Designing for Active Learning
Teaching online involves making a transition from the traditional
classroom to a virtual course environment. How do you translate
the unique benefits of face-to-face interaction into effective
online activities? Motivating students to take an active role
in their learning is key, and designing activities that promote
student interactions helps to build a sense of community among
course participants.
