Instructional Design in Online Learning

Instructional Design in Online Learning class The primary assignment was to design an online course. At first, I was worried about how I would create an online course for 4-year-olds who cannot read. I didn't even know where to start, but I was sure that I wanted a fun, simple course that would involve parents to create communication between parents and children.

Designing my course
Designing sounds exciting and fun, but when we start designing, we realize it's not easy. Creating an overview of my instructional design class was a challenge because I didn't know where to start, so I watched many videos and looked for additional information to give me ideas of what to say, how to create. Well, I already did it; I clarified it wasn't perfect. Still, I spent time on it and effort. The video referenced the Fink 3-column table I created in a previous course. Also, I made a Lesson Plan for Five weeks.

Implementation

In this video, you will see the implementation of the online course, where you will be able to learn a little more about the Implementing Blended learning course. You will also know what you will be doing in class and online. This course is 50% virtual and 50% online.

Usability and Reflection

Usability tests are essential to apply to improve this case in blended learning. Thanks to this test, I could reflect on what was right and what I needed to change in the course. I also understood that a course always needs to be changed because technology is changing, and students are different every year and have their ways of learning. So thanks to usability tests, we can improve the online course.
