AISR and Jefferson Medical College's Office of Faculty Affairs are hosting the PBS satellite broadcast of Instructional Technology Survival Skills. The production is designed to be a "How-to Series for Faculty."
Program 3: Improving Multimedia and Online Courses with Instructional Design
February 28, 2002
2:30 - 4:30 p.m. ET
Location: 101 Bluemle Life Sciences Building
Faculty today are looking for ways to teach more effectively, a task made more demanding by new waves of students with busy lives, their need to have options in their academic work, and to see its real-world value. Another challenge is the new technologies and teaching environments: classrooms enriched by multimedia resources, asynchronous courses offered completely online, and myriad variations on those themes. In short, faculty feel an urgent need to master new ways of teaching. Indeed, they need a framework for creating and adapting instruction so it will be effective regardless of the multimedia tools and course delivery systems that continue to emerge. They need a solid grounding in the principles of instructional design, specifically in the ways adults learn best.
A key benefit of this live satellite event is that the information presented in the interactive video program will be enhanced by a special "learning package" of print and Web materials. So viewers will have a "hard copy" of valuable resources to use in future courses.
This informative "how-to" program will examine:
- Basic principles of instructional design
- Examples of instructional design for top-quality multimedia and online courses, which are student-centered and self-directed
