Description
Dictionary definitions of the word perfect are universally similar: without defect, faultless. Certainly it is foolish to try to quickly define the perfect online course; a course without defect and faultless. However, with the current "rush to go online," many instructional designers, distance educators, and training directors and being asked to design just such a course-an effective, rigorous, yet interesting online course-a "perfect" online course. So, for the sake of the naivete of those asking and the motivation of many distance educators to want to help, let us examine what the best practices literature seems to be indicating about online courses-good, if not perfect ones-and make a recommendation. (Actually, the components of an online course summarized in this column are derived from the recent edition of Teaching and Learning at a Distance: Foundations of Distance Education)
