Abstract

In building an online course or transforming a traditional course for online delivery, the most critical element is not the selection of appropriate media but the selection of the most effective teaching strategies. This paper presents a case scenario where an undergraduate course was designed based on the instructional theory model of collaborative problem solving (CPS). It demonstrates the rational for choosing the theory and the design of the course following the guidelines suggested by the model. Student feedback and suggestions on improvement are also presented in the paper.
