    Learning outcomes

    • Develop instructional strategies for verbal information, intellectual skills, psychomotor skills, and attitudes.
    • Sequence learning outcomes to best facilitate learning.
    • Motivate learners in online courses.
    • Design lessons that include all of the instructional events.
    • Develop and select instructional materials.

    An instructional strategy describes the instructional materials and procedures that enable students to achieve the learning outcomes.

    This chapter first introduces instructional strategies for verbal information, intellectual skills, psychomotor skills, and attitudes. It then describes how to sequence learning outcomes and motivate learners in online courses. It then presents instructional events, the foundation for course design. The chapter closes with comments on developing and selecting instructional materials.
