"Following instructional design principles for online courses ensures the focus is on student learning and not on the technology or platform."
Debbie Morrison
This site drew me in with its title “Why Online Courses [Really] Need an Instructional Design Strategy”. The blog is written in a very accessible and convincing way. It defines what instructional design is, the principles of it (Analyze, Develop/Select, and Implement), and the quote above is used in the closing, and I think it really shows the relevance as I work towards creating online courses for our volunteers. |
