Discussion : Context Analysis
Instructional analysis is useful for identifying features of the online class environment that may influence learning and the design and delivery of online instruction.
As covered in Week 2, online learning can be delivered in different formats, including Web-facilitated or -enhanced, blended or hybrid, asynchronous or synchronous.
The format of a course will influence the classroom features that are available to instructors and students.
Context analysis provides instructors with a means for understanding how various formats and their respective features may influence students' learning experience and their approach to the design and delivery of instruction.
For this Discussion, consider an undergraduate or graduate online psychology course that you might teach in the future.
Write in one pagea one-sentence description of an undergraduate or graduate online psychology course you might teach in the future.
Then, describe three features of the course environment that you would want to know before designing and teaching this course.
Finally, explain why these features might be important considerations for online course development. Be specific and provide support from the Learning Resources and scholarly literature.
