Abstract

All academic courses are different and definitively all instructors/subject matter experts (SMEs) are different as well.  Each program has it’s own set of requirements, instructors have their own teaching philosophy and different levels of comfort with technology.  Our intention with developing  the Elastic Course Design Methodology is to streamline the course design process by creating a soft-transition workflow that benefits both the instructional designers(IDs) and the SMEs, where teaching face-to-face (F2F), and designing a course for online delivery at the same time is possible.  The resulting course is expected to be equivalent to it’s counterpart and also “elastic” so that it can be easily adapted to be taught in a 5, 10, or 15 week modality, as well its content re-purposed for workforce development.
