Overview:

In this hands-on course you will learn to create an instructional 
design plan for a Web-based instruction project of your choice (with 
instructor guidance and approval).

The intellectual focus will be on using good instructional design and 
Web page design principles. Students will be introduced to Web-based 
Teaching techniques and materials using standard Web pages and free 
or low-cost communications tools.

We will overview of the state-of-the-art of web-based instructional 
technology and its applications.  We will review the use of teaching 
materials created with multi-media plug-ins and classroom 
communications tools.

This workshop requires a significant  amount of Web-based activity, 
project work, and readings. 

It is a three-part course.  Each part includes lecture, discussion 
and hands-on activities that will step participants through creating 
or an instructional design plan for a unit of Web-based instruction:

    1. The instructional design process and Web design
    2. Reviewing and choosing Web-based instruction graphics, media, 
and communications tools, as well as support and management options.
    3. Creating a Web-based instructional design plan

Learning Objectives

    1. Participants will be able to use clear instructional design 
process to design distance education/Web-based instructional units.
    2. Participants will be able to evaluate distance 
education/Web-based tutorials, workshops, or courses in terms of 
their design and relevance.
    3. Participants will be able to identify, evaluate, and choose 
appropriate distance education/Web-based teaching technologies within 
the context of a good instructional design plan (e.g., media, 
graphics, communications, and management tools).
    4. Participants will end the session with a completed 
instructional design plan for a single unit of Web-based instruction 
of their choice (with instructor guidance and approval).

Audience

Librarians and other information specialists who are interested in 
learning instructional design and reviewing distance 
education/Web-based  teaching tools and options.

Some experience with Web-based instruction is assumed.  (e.g., have 
taken a course online, completed a Web-based tutorial as a learner). 
No Web-based instruction experience is expected, but Web-based 
teachers will find the course a good review and reinforcement 
experience. Participants should know how to use e-mail and a current 
standard Web Browser, e.g.,Mozilla/Firebird, Netscape 7.0 or IE 5.5 
or higher is preferred. Some HTML or HTML editor experience will be 
useful.  Level of instruction is intermediate-advanced.

*You do not have to be a member of MLA to take the course nor to 
receive CE credits for it.
