Tip
A solid instructional design based a methodic course content is a priority. For example, students progress through the course by accessing a series of seminars. Each seminar is clearly identified on the website (Seminar 1,2, 3 etc.) Instructional resources, links to websites and podcasts which reflect the content of each chapter/ readings has been uploaded. A separate Discussion Board is in available to students for thematic on-line postings. Each seminar requires two postings, one initial response to the readings and a second response made in relation to a peer’s posting. In this manner, students are engaged and connected to the course content, their peers and the instructor.
