A thoughtful course design shapes the online learning experience. The idea of structural integrity, organizing a course with clear modules, lessons, and topics helps. navigational simplicity and intellectual interaction are important for keeping students engaged and focused so they don’t feel lost or overwhelmed.
I should be reviewing my own course layouts and simplifying how students move through materials. Maybe add more activities that invite discussion and problem-solving rather than passive reading, so students feel more connected to the content and to each other.
