High-Impact Design for Online Courses introduces higher education professionals to an eight-step course design model that leverages the unique considerations of online and hybrid modalities at each stage in the process. Though relevant to and informed by instructional designers and educational technologists, this book is specifically geared toward faculty who lack the administrative and technical supports they need to thrive in the new normal. Each chapter includes step-by-step guidance on learner analysis, course structure, appropriate activities and assessments, continuous improvement, and other key elements of a successful digital course. Teachers across disciplines and levels of experience will come away newly inspired and motivated with fresh insights into planning and drafting, practical tips for pedagogy and design, opportunities for self-reflection and course revision, and implications for learner-centered delivery.
