In the BLI project, multimedia files are typically created for each course. These files can theoretically be shared among courses teaching similar topics.
ETS provided instructional design and development expertise in redesigning the Biology 12 course. First, we guided the Biology instructors create higher-level learning objectives for the course. Next, we designed an approach to create the material within the context of contemporary, biology-related issues so that the material was relevant to the students.
We then developed self-paced, e-learning lessons for students to take online. These online lessons contain a custom-mix of videos, interactive exercises and other multimedia elements that carefully guide the students toward successful mastery of the course objectives.
