2. INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN FOR
DISTANCE EDUCATION
 Instructional design is a systematic process for the development of
learning materials
 The systematic process of information planning

3. D I F F E R E N T WAY S T O U N D E R S TA N D
L E A R N E R C H A R AC T E R I S T I C S
 Truly understand the learners in your audience
 Willis has collected multiple questions to help better understand
the learners

4. CONTINUED
 The questions are not east to be answered
 The instructor needs to have the answers to the questions before
the class ever meets

5. DESIGN
 It is important to examine teaching strategies
 Students are able to give insights
 Students can then return the information to the teachers

6. SURVEYS ON INSTRUCTORS
 Students are able to give feedback to the instructors
 Teachers will know their strong and weak points
 This works for online and in class teaching

7. DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS
 When an environment is place-shifted it will influence planning
decisions.
 When an environment is place-shifted it is synchronous but they
are not actually in the same place

8. CONTINUED
 When an environment is time-shifted, it is asynchronous so the
students can all access it at different times
 When the technology becomes transparent, the teacher is able to
reflect on the quality of the lesson and the plans and outcomes for
the lesson

9. ADDITIONAL INFO
 If the distance technology design is effective, the instruction will
then be effective
 There are three different phases in the best practices in course
design for distance education

10. THREE PHASES
 The first phase is correspondence study
 The second phase is the rise of the distance teaching universities
and the use of analog mass media
 The third phase of the best practices is the widespread integration
of distance education elements into most forms of education which I
characterized by the use of digital instructional and communication
technologies.
