Transforming your courses from a traditional, classroom-based setting to an online learning environment can be a daunting task. Similarly, designing a course from scratch that may have to be taught across several modalities (i.e. live, online, scheduled, self-paced) can be overwhelming.

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to use instructional design frameworks to help guide the full process of creating or transforming a course into a fully online or blended modality. You’ll also discover some handy prompts to let AI tools assist you in the course design process. Finally, you’ll learn how instructional designers evaluate the impact of learning experiences and practice continuous iteration in the course design process.
