Focusing on instructional design and engaged teaching, this interactive and hands-on session demonstrates how to integrate framing language and the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) with an online Learning Management System. Attendees will have the opportunity to apply framing language and universal design techniques to craft course assignments and build a syllabus.
With the increase in the number of online programs in higher education, opportunities emerge for programs to develop online courses to maintain enrollments and revenues, to remain competitive, and to adjust to the shifting challenges of the coronavirus. During this time of transition and change in instructional design and faculty teaching, there is a need for new and effective teaching in an engaged online learning environment.
This hands on and interactive session begins with a description of framing language and the principles of Universal Design for Learning. Examples of how to combine these two frameworks with an online Learning Management System will be presented. To illustrate the context of the changes in instructional design, an online course with assignments, rubrics, and syllabus matrix, are presented. Working together in small groups, the session participants will have the opportunity to apply framing language and the principles of Universal Design for Learning to craft course assignments and create a syllabus.
As a result of participating in this session, the attendees will learn techniques of instructional design and how to integrate the use of framing language and the principles of Universal Design for Learning in crafting online courses. This session may serve as a resource or a primer for educators and administrators considering introducing or improving online courses and instruction.
