About this Course
In the “good old days” just a few years ago, the term “teaching” at a college or university implied classroom teaching. Today “teaching” may also imply a classroom environment enriched by multi-media resources, asynchronous courses offered completely online, and myriad variations on those themes. Along with these alternatives to the traditional classroom has come an urgent necessity for many faculty to master new ways of teaching. Indeed, they need a framework for creating and adapting instruction so it will be effective regardless of the multi-media tools and course delivery systems which continue to emerge. In short, they need a solid grounding in the principles of instructional design, specifically in the ways adults learn best. That’s important because the average age of undergraduate students is going up.
