Instructional Design: Course Description
Professor Joanne Bentley teaches a five step instructional technology method, which takes into account the ways individuals communicate and learn. The five steps are (in order): analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation. The course may cover various topics, such as distance education, multimedia, instructional design and literacy, both information and library. Students create a lesson plan, implement it with five or more 'students,' and evaluate its effectiveness.
The course includes lectures in written and video format, prepared forms and many links to helpful resources. To learn more about designing effective educational experiences, look at the Introduction to Instructional Design course page.
