Learning Design Coffee Chat:

On June 16, we invited you all to discuss Learning Design as instructors! 

This coffee chat was so engaged that we only had time to ask the group one question until we ran out of time! 

For those who did not attend, check out the question discussed below!

Question 1: How do you approach designing your online courses?

1. Market research and understanding the target audience: They utilize tools like market insights and competitor analysis to identify popular topics, assess demand, and determine the demographics and psychographics of their target audience. They gather feedback from students and potential learners to shape their course content.

2. Focus on outcomes and purpose: They define the purpose of their course and the desired outcomes they want their students to achieve. This helps guide the course development process and ensures that the content is aligned with the intended goals.

3. Structuring and organization: They emphasize the importance of structuring their course content effectively. This involves creating an outline or mind map to plan the flow of topics and concepts. They may start with the core content and leave the introduction and conclusion for later stages to ensure they accurately reflect the course's overall structure. Scripting is also utilized to provide a clear and structured delivery of the course material.
