DEVELOPING INTERACTIVE ONLINE COURSES Petr Kosina,
Cheryl Reynolds,
and Tunyalee Martin
UC Statewide IPM Program
ONLINE COURSE SYSTEMATIC DESIGN PROCESS
1. What do you want the learner to come away with? For example: Californians will choose integrated pest
management to manage all kinds of pests in urban, agricultural, and natural areas.
2. Break the overall goal into more specific pieces, keeping the audience in mind. Define the information, skills,
and attitudes needed to be taught that will meet the overall goal.
• Develop CHANGES IN BEHAVIOR: Follow IPM principles to solve the pest problem.
• Performance objective: Given a real-world scenario, the learner will choose the appropriate
steps to identify and solve a suspected pest problem.
• Develop SKILLS: Evaluate whether pesticide application is appropriate in the given scenario.
• Performance objective: Given a detailed scenario (crop, pest, abundance), the learner will
consider relevant factors and decide whether the action threshold was reached.
• Develop KNOWLEDGE: List examples of physical or mechanical weed control.
• Performance objective: Given a set of statements, the learner will select those practices
describing physical or mechanical weed control.
3. Translate objectives to questions for review of content or testing.
4. Divide content into modules and decide on your teaching method for each topic to best present the content
and motivate the learner (e.g., demonstration videos, cartoon animation, case scenarios, interaction).
5. Collect and produce the materials: script, media (images, video, audio), and collect examples and case studies.
6. Assemble the final components and produce the prototype.
7. Evaluate with select learners and revise based on feedback.
8. Upload of final modules into learning management system (LMS), test functionality including tracking
learners’ progress through the course, reporting scores from modules, and issuing course certificates.
9. Open course to public
Pros Cons
+ easy to learn – course will be only as good as the recorded presentation
+ quick and cheap – making content changes means re-recording presentation
+ can meet accessibility requirements – limited customization and interactivity options
ONLINE COURSE – ‘QUICK AND DIRTY’
ONLINE COURSE EVALUATION
ADDRESSING ACCESSIBILITY
1
2
3
Chunk, insert quizzes or tests, and branching
interactions using H5P - HTML 5 PACKAGE.
Record presentation with audio narration
as a video file using for example ZOOM.
Add closed captions for the narration, test
accessibility, and upload to your
LMS - LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.
Evaluate the course before it is published with a select group of learners
Collect immediate feedback from learners who finished your online course
Assess the use of knowledge and skills to improve course performance
Collect qualitative information with a sample group of
your target learners. Observe what they do when they
are taking the course, analyze their test results, and
conduct interviews after.
Focus on learners’ understanding of content,
perceptions of course activities, course pace, and their
overall engagement.
Use feedback to improve the course before it is
published. The earlier you evaluate, the easier it is to
incorporate important changes to your course.
Survey your learners and continuously
review the feedback to monitor the
satisfaction of learners, effectiveness
of the instructional approach,
relevancy of your course to the target
audience, usability and any technical
issues that learners may have
encountered due to, for example,
software updates.
I found this course to
be very informative.
Very excited to go
out and check all my
citrus trees! And
everyone else's!
Sometimes the
pages won’t load up
correctly and the
sound will stop
working, plus the
bullet points would
not fit in the screen.
Follow up with your course participants a few
weeks or months after they take the course to
learn about how they are using their new
knowledge and skills acquired through your
course. Ask what was missing or what they would
change in the course. Feedback of this type is
invaluable for the future improvement of current
courses AND the development of new courses.

• Use LARGE TEXT FONTS, PREFERABLY SANS SERIF to
make text readable even on small screens like
smartphones.
• Check COLOR CONTRAST of text and background
combinations on your screens.
• Add ALT TEXT to all photos, diagrams, graphs and other
visuals unless if used only for decorative purposes.
• Provide DESCRIPTION TO ANY VIDEO without narration.
• Add CAPTIONS FOR ALL AUDIO narration in your course
(preferably with ability to turn off and on).
• Check that each button in your course has a clear
DIRECTION OF FUNCTION.
• Ensure that learners can navigate through the course in
the desired order using KEYBOARD-ONLY NAVIGATION.
• Prevent COGNITIVE OVERLOAD—use consistent format,
white space, less text, structured and aligned content,
disable autoplay, and avoid visual or auditive
distractions.
To meet basic accessibility criteria, make sure to
1 in 4 adults
in the United States
have some type of disability.
Accessible design
is helpful for everyone!
Meeting accessibility
standards is required by state
and federal laws.
