I would really like to incorporate a question base discussion board built in to my syllabus to where weekly students must post a question on the topic of the week to a discussion board and other student have to comment on at least to student questions. I think this like Socrates can enhance student learning on the topic.

Online course are a great way for students to learn at home.

Media strategies and ISD work together like this:

ISD sets the overall plan to meet learning goals.
Media strategies choose the best tools and methods to make content engaging and accessible.
For example, in an ISD project, media strategies help decide if interactive videos or text are better for presenting information. ISD ensures the chosen media aligns with the learning goals and assessments.

Combining both approaches makes learning more engaging and effective by using different media in a well-structured way.

There are a lot of great resources out there, at least in the electrical engineering.  In addition we are fortunate to have a very progressive administration that has funded the development of some fairly sophisticated online lab tools.  Having the institutional support in terms of instructional designers, lab managers and so forth is very important, in my opinion.

We use Multisim and Labview (among others).  The key seems to be very well-develop laboratory procedures, video demonstrations, a lab report template, and timely sharing of the solutions by the faculty.

In my field, electrical engineering, there have been a lot of advancements in the area of online labs.  There are a lot of great tools out there.  The challenge is creating awareness so that they can be included in the courses.

Holistic assessments allow for student empowerment and measure outcomes effectively; they should be implemented in courses.

I like the idea of utilizing portfolios since they empower students to choose their own work to build a "strong sense of owndership" with end goals in mind.

Course components are essential elements that make up a well-structured and effective learning experience. Each component plays a specific role in facilitating student learning, engagement, and assessment.
