Developing instructional content
Instructional content developed by teachers help students to achieve stated learning outcomes. When designing instructional materials for the module and topic, we suggest teachers consider the following:
- Explain clearly the purpose of each piece of instructional material and how the materials are to be used for learning activities;
- Appropriately cite the instructional materials used;
- Provide current instructional materials in order to represent up-to-date thinking and practice in the discipline;
- Present a variety of relevant instructional materials that may include e-textbooks, short video clips, publications, instructor-created resources, websites and other forms of online resources; and,
- Explain the distinction between required and optional instructional materials.
