Course Description:
This course addresses the development of instruction for e-learning environments. Learners will use a research-based rationale for the selection and utilization of technologies for designing, developing, implementing, and evaluating instruction using an open-source courseware management system. Learners will also explore the potential of 3-D virtual environments for instructional applications. Lec. 3, Cr. 3.

E-Learning Canvas LMS Project:
The Canvas online course, ADDIE 101 - Instructional Design Frameworks, provides educators and instructional designers with a structured, practical training on the foundational principles of instructional design. This module focuses on the ADDIE framework (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) and integrates iterative design processes such as SAM (Successive Approximation Model) to promote flexibility and real-time feedback during course development. Bloom’s Taxonomy is incorporated to ensure learning objectives are clear, measurable, and aligned with different cognitive levels, promoting effective knowledge transfer. Interactive elements, multimedia content, and assessments drive engagement and ensure measurable outcomes, making this course a comprehensive approach to creating learner-centered, goal-driven online environments.
