Online course design is often focused on the organization and dissemination of content while the user experience is easy to overlook. This session explores and demonstrates the practical use of narrative in designing and running an online course. While there are a variety of approaches to online course design, the narrative approach is particularly useful in providing students with a framework and structure that makes intuitive sense, thereby reducing anxiety. Emphasis is placed on creating a flow and maintaining a sense of structure even when the student is faced with multiple options. This session will discuss narrative structure in online design, and will also demonstrate practical solutions and best practices using various Web 2.0 tools within a narrative context. Presented by Donald Jordan, and hosted by the Faculty Center for Teaching and learning.
