Set clear course expectations |
There are some design decisions you can make that will help all learners use your online course effectively:
|
Make time limits and deadlines flexible |
|
Provide alternative learning materials |
One of the most effective course design decisions you can make to improve engagement is to offer course materials that appeal to more than one sense. For example, the same material can have an audio, video, and text component. This type of redundancy helps engage learners with different learning types, reinforces important concepts, and helps ensure that users with physical disabilities can access content in a suitable format.
