Sustainable eLearning Design

Online learning and eLearning are ubiquitous across all levels of education and training. This has driven a program and course design process that involves producing courseware that is housed on a server for learners to access at any time. Teams consisting of faculty, instructional designers, and subject matter experts design the courses. It is an expensive endeavor creating the general expectation that once courses are designed, they will last for multiple years. The problem is that in today’s mercurial educational atmosphere, the course content can become quickly outdated. The challenge for eLearning professionals is to design courses that can sustain the test of time in a rapidly changing academic climate. In this Discussion, you will evaluate the design of a course you are familiar with and explore strategies for a more sustainable course design.
To prepare:
Read Chapters 3, 6, and 8 in Design Alchemy: Transforming the Way We Think About Learning and Teaching, where instructional design is proposed as a combination of science, art, and alchemy. Also read “Sustainable e-Learning: Toward a Coherent Body of Knowledge,” where the authors investigate possible approaches towards sustainable teaching and learning in the higher education sector. Finally, view the media piece,Anatomy of eLearning: Conceptual Framework, in this module’s Learning Resources with a focus on the “Sustainability” section.
Then, reflect on a course that you have recently taken and completed or a course that you have recently taught, and consider the sustainability of its design.
Post the following by Day 7 of Week 9:
Deconstruct the design and delivery of the course you selected. Then, analyze the level of sustainability of the course. Finally, explain whether the course is sustainable or not—providing reasons to support your position. In your explanation, be sure to describe the sustainable elements in the course or describe specific strategies you would use to make course elements more sustainable. Adopt and defend a firm position on the need for sustainability in eLearning.
Support your analysis using the three pillars of sustainability, personal experience, and at least one research study (PhD and EdS students).

• How could you counter the attitudes that counter your exigency and/or solution?

• What does your audience think or feel when they see or hear your exigency?
• What does your audience think or feel when they see or hear your solution?

• What counter-arguments might prevent your audience from accepting your exigency arguments?
• What could be your counter to their counter-arguments?
• What counter-arguments might prevent your audience from accepting your solution arguments?
• What could be your counter to their counter-arguments?

You need to define the theories to demonstrate that you understand the theories, and then discuss how you would apply the theory to help you in your campaign.
The paper should be 1200 words* ** and must include a reference list and in-text citations following a proper citation format; this means you should be citing course materials, and only course materials, to discuss theories.
NOTE: Theories are not proper nouns and thus should not be capitalized as such.
Please only use the PowerPoints that are attached that are attached

1. (i) What are the conditions needed for technological innovation? What is the environment

described in the UK Technology Strategy?

1. (ii) What is the optimal environment presupposed in a creative hub?

Assessment 1 is a formal essay, which combines the theory and conceptual ideas relating to innovation, relational economies, and social capital discussed in class and gained through the module’s reading, with the observations and critical thinking of Leicester as a creative case study. An essay that attempts to describe a creative ecosystem or describes the theories discussed in class or Leicester’s cultural/economic policies, but fails to apply this to the question, or to formulate an argument will not pass the assignment. The emphasis is on your ability to critique theories, apply these to real life case studies, and to build arguments. As such, assignment 1 tests your learning against the following learning outcomes:
