Course Code: IDL06

Program: Curriculum, Instructional Design & Digital Learning

Course Overview: Delivery models shape how learners access, experience, and participate in learning. Selecting the right combination of online, face-to-face, synchronous, and asynchronous learning can support flexibility, access, engagement, and effectiveness.

This course equips educators to distinguish between delivery models, design online and blended learning experiences, structure synchronous and asynchronous activities, and choose approaches suited to learner needs and context. It also supports evaluation, improvement, and scaling across learning environments.
