Instructional Design For Online Learning Assignment

1. How can good instructional design ensure that the course meets student needs?

The students who take the online class usually he takes it because of the asynchronous learning environment. They may be have work and they can attend a traditional class on particular days and times because of that the online class should allow asynchronous learning. That mean the class should not required the students to be online at the same day every week. The class should be flexible and the important synchronous discussion only is in sometimes meeting. Students should have 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to finish their assignment. Also the good instructional design can ensure that the course meets student needs in many ways first, the good instructor always needs his student’s feedback about the learning experience in courses. When the feedback is negative the instructors should be flexible and fax any raising problems wail keeping the project on track. Second,the good instructor always want make sure his students understand his lecture by give them question in blackboard or by email. third, the good instructor try to make every student active in his blogs by ask him to add every post weekly, and also make comment in other student blogs.

If you have already selected a tool to create and administer test, do not moan, groan, or whine.” (p.284) In this chapter, there are many good points that can help the instructional design ensure course quality and he focus on the test.
Also, the instructor should test his course tools in deference computer to make sure every thing is clear and work. The good instruction design should focus in many things to make ensure about course quality, first, the course should have Interaction between the students with each other and between the student and the teacher also the course should be easy to use by students.
second, the good instructor asks his students to give hem feedback about the learning experience in the course. third, the Instructional design can ensure course quality by student answer for the their homework or the student comments with each other in our blogs he should make sure that all students are on the same track.
