Short Description

Course design is critical to online student engagement and retention. The Online Courses Design Elements (OCDE) instrument was administered to instructors and instructional designers to examine their frequency of use of design elements in five categories: overview, content presentation, interaction and communication, assessment and evaluation, and learner support. This study has implications for instructors and instructional designers who design online courses and individuals who provide training and support structures for faculty and staff.
