A beginner handout for becoming familiar with what ADDIE is and how each step falls in the process of Instructional Design. Learners can use as a visual/verbal reminder.

The NSCC Edition is a revised version of the BC Campus Accessibility Toolkit - 2nd Edition. The goal of this book is to provide resources for each content creator, instructional designer, educational technologist, librarian, administrator, and teaching assistant to create a truly open textbook—one that is free and accessible for all students.

This Pressbook contains video training modules for creating accessible content within digital environments and using content authoring programs, such as the Microsoft Office 365 suite and Pressbooks platform. Each section has an optional self-assessment checkpoint for viewers who wish to check their learning progress. Videos have been migrated to permit open-access.

Classic elements of instructional design remain relevant at the same time that newer concepts of learning experience are growing in importance. However, problematic issues new and old still have to be addressed. This handbook explores many of these topics for new and experienced designers alike, whether creating traditional online courses, open learning experiences, or anything in between.

What are Learning Theories?

So what are educational learning theories and how can we use them in our teaching practice? There are so many out there, how do we know which are still relevant and which will work for our classes?

There are 3 main schema’s of learning theories; Behaviourism, Cognitivism and Constructivism. In this article you will find a breakdown of each one and an explanation of the 15 most influential learning theories; from Vygotsky to Piaget and Bloom to Maslow and Bruner.

Helping students to understand how to approach/read/interact with course materials can get them started down the road to success. For instructors, it is an efficient use of your time as it reaches multiple students, and still provides a level of engagement that students will appreciate.

This resource describes the evolution of Bloom's taxonomy and the contributions by other researchers and educators to adapt it to changing education scenarios. 

Engagement in online courses is key for student success, teacher evaluation and the overall course experience. A great way to promote student engagement in your online course is to work on feedback. Students that receive regular feedback tend to perform better and as a result have good opinions of their time in the course.
