One-size-fits-all models for online instruction do not meet the needs of diverse learners. This session invites the examination of a responsive instructional design approach that customizes each student’s learning path, addressing individual strengths, needs, and interests. Participants will “walk through” and discuss a template for the development of an online course facilitating personalized learning. The methodology presented in this session applies a constructivist approach to learning that is learner-centered. The template to be presented is an amalgam of a number of online higher education courses taught by the presenter, along with those she participated in as a doctoral candidate at NJCU. In addition, the presenter has served as an Instructional Designer for an online college for the past five years.While the session is designed to present a model of overall personalization of an online college course, participants will also be encouraged to consider the methodology as transferable in part – as a unit within a course, or as enhancements within existing practice. Participants will be given the opportunity to reflect and react on the issues that emerge from implementation of this model, including the those of subject matter, class size, and course requirements. The presenter has designed a course based on the personalized learning template that is scheduled for summer 2017.
