Instructional Strategies for Online Courses

This webpage from University of Illinois describes instructional strategies that can be used in online classes. Like Palloff and Pratt, this webpage reminds instructors to start by setting goals and then choosing instructional strategies that will best help students meet those goals. Then the webpage describes how 10 different instructional strategies can be adapted to an online setting. Although some of the technological references seem a little outdated, the page clearly explains how instructional strategies can and must be adapted in an online setting. The page would be a good introduction for a teacher/professor setting out to teach an online course for the first time.

  1. The Univ. of IL does offer a wealth of resources for online learning through their Illinois Online Network (http://www.ion.uillinois.edu). I'm a bit biased perhaps, as I also teach for their program :) I'm currently developing a course on "social networking for distance learning" that will launch next month! ! Dr. J
