Involving Students in the Instructional Design Process to Improve Their Satisfaction with Their Learning in the COVID-19 Era

Abstract

Like most university students worldwide, the engineering students at the School of Information Sciences (ESI) have to deal with their school closure and the new paradigm of distance learning. Despite efforts made by the administration and the teachers to accompany students, an internal survey conducted by the end of October 2021 revealed that almost all students, especially first-year ones, did not accept distance learning. This paper describes our experience to improve students’ satisfaction with distance learning by involving them in their courses’ design process. Four courses were concerned by the experience and were designed following the ADDIE method. Last-year students participated in the ADDIE analysis step, while the first-year students participated in the last step by evaluating the co-created courses. Courses were co-created with students as most of them got involved in the ADDIE development step and enriched courses by realizing extras activities. Results showed that students were highly satisfied with courses taught in the context of this study.

Study of Project-Based Learning to Improve the Instructional Design Process of Pre-service Early Childhood Teachers

Instructional design refers to a series of systematic processes that translate principles of learning and teaching into practical plans for the development of instructional materials, activities, information sources, and assessment [16].…”
