Designing Courses for Learning at the Speed of Light

Accelerated courses and programs are becoming more common within higher education institutions. However, compressing the amount of time over which these courses and programs take place can result in less time for students to reflect, which, in turn, can result in poor learning outcomes. This session will present the findings of a research study that investigated the instructional design strategies used to promote deep learning and how instructional designers decide which deep learning strategies to use in accelerated online courses and programs.
