In this course, participants will examine theory and research in instructional design (ID), evaluate the various ID models, and learn to evaluate and apply effective instructional design to enhance interdisciplinary learning experiences in online and blended educational environments. Instructional design theories and approaches will be discussed and contrasting views and perspectives of instructional design will be presented. A user-centered, iterative approach to design will be examined and applied to online and blended learning environments. Contemporary issues and trends in instructional design and a systems approach to design will be presented. The basic philosophical premise of the course is that there is not one method for design but rather an approach that considers the content, context, audience, and method of delivery in design. Participants will learn to effectively integrate and apply technology into instruction.
