Course Design
Knowing about, and adopting effective principles of online course design pays many dividends to CSI instructors, including:
- Clarity of Learning Objectives and Outcomes: students will know what they will be able to do following instruction, and what they need to accomplish to do so. This will empower them to focus their efforts and understand the why of their learning journey.
- Alignment: You can help your students to not only identify course outcomes, but also to demonstrate their mastery of them.
- Better Student Engagement and Motivation - not to mention satisfaction! Course organization helps students to understand the logical progression of information for better comprehension.
- Improved Accessibility and Inclusivity: we can help you to ensure all students can access your course materials.
- Community and Collaboration: best practices in online course design promote a sense of community, interaction, and knowledge sharing through projects and discussions.
