Four Facets of Needs Assessment and Analysis for the Design of Online Learning Systems.

• In Event: Instructional Design with Systems Thinking in Mind

Short Description

As instructional systems designers, we need to consider and take a holistic systems approach when designing our solutions. This review analyzes and synthesizes the literature from four specific online learning contexts: K-12, higher education, career and technical training, and corporate training. The characteristics, social structures, environments, and expectations of each of these cultures are very different. This session will summarize the research related to each context, discuss best practices, and areas for future research.
