The Role of Instructional Design in Health Science Course Development

UNE Online instructional designers will lead participants through their goals and the process of developing online courses for a non-matriculating program, and look at promising developments in technology that have allowed for new innovations in that process. Attendees will leave having learned how non-matriculated courses are developed and what new tools are being used to make them more engaging for our students. Topics discussed will include alignment and backwards design, instructional strategies to encourage self-directed learning and active learning, the value of an Educational Technologist role, innovative and research-based tools, and examples of engaging learning activities from Pathophysiology and Medical Physiology courses. Presenters: - Chris Malmberg - David Bass-Clark, MSEd - Olga LaPlante This presentation was part of UNE Online's 2nd Annual Online Learning Symposium, which took place on the University of New England's Portland campus in November 8th and 9th, 2018.
