This document provides an overview of the 7-step Design for Learning program which teaches library workers how to design online instruction. The program is a free self-guided online course consisting of 7 modules that guide participants through needs assessment, learning outcomes, instructional strategies, and assessment. Participants work at their own pace to develop an instructional design plan and content for their own online module, applying principles of universal design for learning.

- 2. Orientation Foundation Diversity Course Management Capstone Content Creation Community 7 Modules on WebJunction.org Students are introduced to the learning management system, to the structure of the series, to other technology they can use throughout the series, and to each other. Dr. Marilyn Arnone takes students through an overview of the instructional design process, with a range of perspectives and terms, including Universal Design for Learning. Then she leads students step-by-step through a 7 step process to draft an instructional design plan for their own Capstone project. • The program is designed to help library workers develop their own unit of online instruction - each module builds toward that final Capstone Project. • Participants can start anytime and work at their own pace • Most modules are structured for 4 weeks (some are 2 or 6 weeks) • Students dedicate about 3-5 hours to the program each week • WebJunction will provide a certificate of completion for each module Dr. Loriene Roy shares key concepts to help students draft their own definition and expand their observance and practice of diversity as online learners and teachers. Arden Kirkland guides students to explore a variety of social media tools for discussion and interaction in order to consider the importance of social presence and a sense of community in increasing student engagement. Lori Bell provides resources for students to develop content with best practices for chunking, storyboarding, layout, scripting, and recording, focusing on screencasts. Samantha Settimio helps students to organize their course materials for an online environment, considering different Learning Management Systems or LMS alternatives and planning for communication, assessment, and feedback. Students continue to build on the work from all the previous models to finish all the content for their own online unit and test it with a small group of pilot students.

- 3. 7. Pay attention to formative assessment and formative evaluation. They can guide you to conduct an “intervention” if the unit isn’t going as planned. Don’t wait until it’s too late to turn things around! 1. Find a buddy or a group. Interaction with other participants means increased confidence: people to reach out to, to ask questions, share ideas, and get feedback. 2. Learn how to teach online from being a student online. This will help you to understand your students’ experience. D4L instructors try to be very transparent about their own process, so participants can see both the student and teacher side. 3. Even in a self-paced course, set a schedule! Learners who go through without at least setting personal deadlines don’t make it very far. Be realistic about your other commitments and work around them. 4. Start at the beginning of the month (for our 4 week modules). Without specific due dates, this will help to keep track of weekly expectations and to be starting in sync with other students. 5. Plan extra time - Life and work get in the way. For your first time through developing online instruction, much of the process will be new to you and will take longer. Don’t worry: with practice, you will streamline your process and get faster 6. Follow Universal Design for Learning – it provides principles that we can apply to all aspects of online learning. Try a variety of tools and environments for interaction. Everyone’s comfort level varies between video chats, typed-in discussion forums, or sharing resources through social media. Top 7 Lessons Learned “Provide as much choice as possible for learners” – Marilyn Arnone “attending Zoom sessions turned D4L into a community for me” – Kathy Smith “If it’s asynchronous, it’s important to block out time on my calendar like with a synchronous class, otherwise I’ll put it off forever.” – Helen Linda “Working online can be a little isolating--use video to show students & colleagues you’re a “real” person.” – Amanda Calabrese This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Grant Project #RE-06-14-0014-14.
