Distance learning course development and experience, case study
Abstract
Diversification of higher education allows satisfying the needs of the educational sector at that level. To achieve this, some strategies should be implemented such as the gradual implementation of distance-learning courses. The objective of the research was to design and put into practice a Higher Education distance-learning course to contribute to increase the academic offer. The research was qualitative and exploratory; Scrum and ADDIE methodologies were used in the development of the course. The evaluation was carried out through the educational experience with a focus group of 120 students. The results, with an average of 3.4, proved that students agree with the design of the course and with distance learning modality showing that the design of the course promotes self-regulated learning and that virtual environments require guidance and follow-up by the teachers. To sum up, it is shown that instructional design is essential for the follow-up and acquisition of the competencies set in the course. The follow-up by the teacher is essential, therefore one must stress the teacher’s role as a guide for the monitoring of the student academic journey throughout the course. Consequently, it is concluded that a good distance learning course design and the implementation of it in an LMS is a good option to begin with the implementation of new learning environments in institutions with face-to-face modalities.
