Effective Transfer of Meaningful Design of Active Instructional Tasks to Online Synchronous Format. Potential for Transitional and Post-Pandemic Instruction

• In Event: D&D- Next Generation Instructional Designer Preparation (v)

Short Description

An introductory pharmaceutics course was redesigned before the pandemic to integrate deep-learning active tasks. The primary objective of this research proposal was to analyze the design transfer for an online synchronous context and monitor its impact on students' performance, perceptions, and beliefs. We found that highly integrated active learning tasks effectively transferred to the online format. Student performance, perceptions and beliefs were similar or slightly better when compared with the live format of the course.
