User-Focused Instructional Design

Abstract

This project focused on re-developing an online undergraduate course, INF303D, Academic Success in the Digital University, which will be piloted during the Summer 2018 semester for an audience of incoming freshmen students. In order to develop a better online class, we analyzed and gathered data from a survey administered to over 150 students in iSchool undergraduate courses to inform our decision-making and identify student pain-points. We researched best practices for course development and instructional design, and applied techniques and tools including a graphic syllabus, screencasts and interactive presentations of lecture material, backwards design methodology, Team Based Learning, and threshold concepts.
