Course Name: Designing learner-centric e-learning in STEM disciplines

Course abstract

Instructional designers today have tremendous access to a variety of technology tools while designing e-learning. An important role for instructional designers is to integrate effective pedagogical strategies to promote students’ engagement and learning. This course focuses on learner-centric principles and practices in the design of e-learning in STEM disciplines. Effective strategies and processes based on research from the learning sciences and educational technology will be discussed. Course participants will explore the application of e-learning design in various STEM topics in K-12 and higher education. The course will expose participants to some examples of basic and advanced technologies involved in designing e-learning.

Final Score Calculation Logic

  • Assignment Score = Average of best 3 out of 4 assignments.
  • Final Score(Score on Certificate)= 75% of Exam Score + 25% of Assignment Score Note: Assignment Logic- A1=(0.7*KQ1+0.1*RQ1+0.2*(Best of AQ1) A2=(0.7*KQ2+0.1*RQ2+0.2*(Best of AQ2) A3=(0.7*KQ3+0.1*RQ3+0.2*(Best of AQ3) A4=(0.7*KQ4+0.1*RQ4+0.2*(Best of AQ4)
