6. Journal –Course Objectives
Examine e-learning projects utilizing
specific evaluation tools and standards.
Identify the steps necessary to conducting a
formative evaluation plan of e-learning.
Evaluate course content and assessment
for alignment with course outcomes.
Utilize evaluation results to improve course
content, delivery and student learning.
7. Journal – Course Reflection
Are there any topics in this course that are still unclear to you? If so, what specifically do you find unclear?
A high-quality, thorough evaluation typically involves more than just pointing out flaws. The evaluator ought to also provide
suggestions for improvement, based on the identified flaws. After having reviewed the various principles of quality instructional
design, how confident do you feel about making suggestions for improvement in an instructional design setting?
What is the importance of “alignment” in instructional design? What elements must be considered when looking for alignment?
We know that quality instructional design can be subjective, in that one principle will probably not apply to all situations. Since
there are no concrete “rules” to quality instructional design, what can we take into account when evaluating instructional design?
What fundamental learning theories can help us make the most informed instructional design decisions?
What are some instructional principles and tools that can be used when examining the instructional design of e-learning projects?

9. 7 Principles in Depth
As you examine websites which violate these
7 principles of Instructional Design, remember
that one site can act as your example for one
or more principles.
Evaluating goes beyond critiquing – include
your suggestions for improvement to the
design to address this principle.
10. CAST UDL Youtube Channel
UDL at a
Glance
This week we look at the principle of Universal Design for Learning.
While this concept is often introduced and explored in an Inclusion
Setting, UDL goes far beyond the Inclusive Classroom. UDL is
focused on changing the focus of education from the needs of the
teacher to the needs of the student. How can we make this content
more accessible to more students with a broader array of strengths?
In our guidance this week I share a link to the presentation UDL At a
Glance by CAST. In addition, here is a link to their Youtube
Channel. There is a wide array of videos posted already, and you
have the option to subscribe to their channel for future updates.

Where do you see student centered learning taking us in the next
10 years? Is this a good thing? How does it affect your
instructional design?
Have a great week!
