Creating a New Online College from Scratch Using Sound Instructional Design Principles

• In Event: D&D - Principles of Program Design and Development

Short Description

This proposal details an innovative use of instructional design during the creation of a new college. Building from the ground up allows us to avoid the challenges of a pre-existing infrastructure, and makes instructional design one of the main considerations in the creation of the college. We will discuss some of the unforeseen difficulties in attempting such an ambitious plan, along with the advantages of starting from scratch.
