Principles of E-Learning Instructional Design (2.50 Units)
EDUC X416.18
This course introduces participants to online and Web-based learning including an overview of the current models of e-learning. Students explore current learning theories incorporating principles of online learning such as the traditional ADDIE and more contemporary rapid prototype models. Participants also examine the roles and responsibilities of both online student and instructor. Through group and individual assignments, students design and create online lesson prototypes; write measurable learning objectives that align with assessments; integrate task analyses; and explain how online learning communities promote collaborative learning. The course uses a range of interactive instructional techniques, including synchronous and asynchronous approaches in an effort to provide current or potential online instructors experience of both instructor and student roles.

E-Learning Instructional Design Practicum (2.50 Units)
EDUC X417.4
This capstone course gives students the opportunity to exhibit their knowledge, skills, and creativity related to e-learning instructional design. Students demonstrate their ability to integrate design principles and skills by applying them to a real-world project. Students will be expected to create an entire eLearning module from scripting, applying voiceover, designing, developing, publishing, and uploading to a test LMS. Through development of an actual e-learning lesson, the practicum allows students to experience the practical application of the topics they have learned in the prerequisite courses. Software/Technical Requirements: In the Practicum, you will be required to develop and deliver an actual lesson using an e-learning development tool. Prior to enrolling in the Practicum, students must purchase or otherwise have access to an authoring tool such as Articulate Studio, Storyline, Adobe Captivate, or other. Students must also have working knowledge of a tool prior to enrollment in the Practicum. Students should be proficient navigating the software to develop an e-learning lesson using the tool.
