14. PEDAGOGICAL Who are your learners? How do you gather learner demographics? Do you assess prior learning? Does the course provide clear expectations of what the student is required to do? Is there alignment between outcomes, activities and assessments? Is the instructor’s role facilitative or didactic? Does the course provide a sense of continuity? (e.g., each unit of the lesson builds on the previous unit, etc.) Instructional Design Strategies

15. PEDAGOGICAL TECHNOLOGICAL Do you have personnel who can assist the techno- challenged? Are the hardware requirements for the course clearly stated? Does the course use multi-platform versions of technology components? How are you maximizing technology for what it can do? Are course goals and outcomes driving technological decisions, or visa versa? What are you doing with emergent technologies? Instructional Design Strategies

16. PEDAGOGICAL TECHNOLOGICAL INTERFACE DESIGN Instructional Design Strategies Does the course design have internal continuity? Does the course provide structural aids or a roadmap to guide learner’s navigation? How quickly can users find answers to the most frequently asked questions? Are supplemental materials educationally beneficial and worth the learner’s time / expense? How is the “look and feel” of the course maintaining a consistent presentation? Is effort made to make the instructional format motivational to the learner?

18. PEDAGOGICAL TECHNOLOGICAL INTERFACE DESIGN E V A L U A T I O N Are there formal and informal (self) assessments? Do assessment methods measure the stated goals and objectives? How do you evaluate your courses/programs? What do you do to evaluate student’s experiences? Online or paper evaluations? Is there a variety of ways to assess students? Do you pilot or field test courses or programs before offering them? Instructional Design Strategies

19. PEDAGOGICAL TECHNOLOGICAL INTERFACE DESIGN EVALUATION R E S O U R C E S U P P O R T Instructional Design Strategies How do you handle troubleshooting technical problems? Is there assistance or a help line? Does the course provide student samples? How are you assisting student through self- service? Are things like grades, syllabi, and updates accessible online? Are bibliographies and other resources are included to encourage further learning? Can students access help on basic study skills?

20. PEDAGOGICAL TECHNOLOGICAL INTERFACE DESIGN EVALUATION RESOURCE SUPPORT Is the academic quality similar to traditional counterparts? Do your students feel adequately orientated for learning at a distance? How do you make up for the digital divide? Is the course designed to have patience for learners who adapt to individualized distributed learning environments slower than others? What do you do to improve cross-cultural verbal communication and avoid misunderstandings? Instructional Design Strategies INSTITUTIONALETHICAL
