Instructional design Community of Practice now open
31/08/2010
Instructional design and online environments is the focus of an online Community of Practice (CoP) now open for collaboration until Wednesday 15 September 2010.
Good instructional design can maximise the effectiveness, efficiency and appeal of teaching and training.
Broadly, instructional design is about designing effective learning experiences. And while some theories of instructional design incorporate the online environment, many were designed with other mediums in mind.
The Australian Flexible Learning Framework’s (Framework) Benchmarking and Research Project Officer, Melanie Worrall, will facilitate the CoP exploring:
- instructional design approaches
- how they can be applied in an online environment
- what tools are available
- how to appropriate theories for your learners.
Practitioners, both familiar with or new to instructional design, are encouraged to share information, tips and personal experiences around instructional design.
You will need to register in order to participate in the Instructional design and online environments CoP. Registration is free and only takes a few minutes.
For further instructions on how to join, visit the hub’s Frequently asked questions.
