Abstract
More and more educators today are joining online teaching
with little or no instructional design training. Challenges have been
reported in in many regions around the world. In addition, time
constraints present another challenge because of the many
responsibilities that educators assume as regular faculty members. They
need practical guidelines that can help them in designing their online
courses, beginning with the module–the meaningful, self-contained,
basic building block of the online course. This theoretical paper
provides some practical guidelines for this purpose by applying the
common 5-WH approach in designing a module for any online course.
This approach helps the online educator to address the questions related
to who, what, why, where, when, and how, expected from any complete
online course module from a Christian perspective.
