I'm from Thailand and I'm very interested in the subject of instructional design. My future goal is to start a self-development institute for children in Thailand of various ages. I want to be able to design courses for them or at least able to oversee the design. I actually have been looking for online degree programs that teaches those courses. However, I'm not sure where I should go for. Most of the courses are called Curriculum, Instruction, Assessment or Curriculum and Instruction, which…
I'm from Thailand and I'm very interested in the subject of instructional design. My future goal is to start a self-development institute for children in Thailand of various ages. I want to be able to design courses for them or at least able to oversee the design. I actually have been looking for online degree programs that teaches those courses. However, I'm not sure where I should go for. Most of the courses are called Curriculum, Instruction, Assessment or Curriculum and Instruction, which as I see, are based on too much with the instructional skills, not designing the curriculum as I hope. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks in advance. By the way, I will also look for the books you mentioned. Hope they have them here in Thailand!!!

This is a really good book and resource for leadership and curriculum development in the 21st Century.<br />
Schools for the Twenty-First Century: <u>Leadership Imperatives for Educational Reform</u> (Jossey Bass Education Series) (Hardcover). One of my favorite publications, The Journal also has an excellent article that discusses technology integration in today's 21st Century classrooms. <a href="http://www.thejournal.com/articles/14141">http://www.thejournal.com/articles/14141</a>

I have to agree with The suggestion of Understanding by Design (UbD). In 2005 I received my Mater's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction in 2005 and my entire course work was designed around this work. Since then I have taught a course methods of teaching English Language Learners and we have worked very hard to integrate the ideals of UbD to make instruction better. UbD does require a paradigm shift. It basically asks the teacher to develop big ideas, concepts in which to teach to and then…
I have to agree with The suggestion of Understanding by Design (UbD). In 2005 I received my Mater's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction in 2005 and my entire course work was designed around this work. Since then I have taught a course methods of teaching English Language Learners and we have worked very hard to integrate the ideals of UbD to make instruction better. UbD does require a paradigm shift. It basically asks the teacher to develop big ideas, concepts in which to teach to and then design all instruction around what the desired outcomes are. I have found that many people have a real hard time making the shift to concept based instruction, but when they do…they find that more learning takes place. I love to talk Curriculum design, so please feel free to chat at any time!<br />
<br />
Also, for a more interactive approach, ASCD has a few great online courses about Ubd. I have taken a few and I loved them.<br />

I'm not sure what you mean by curriculum design, but it's probably different than most ed schools imagine. I suspect you are looking at a micro view? I have one link for you, but its actually at the macro view.<br />

Good suggestions about Grant Wiggins and project-based learning. I recently wrote a post about revising a piece of interdisciplinary high school Humanities curriculum and making it more Classroom 2.0. Not sure if that would be of interest to you, but if you would like to take a look, it's entitled <a href="http://blog.trintuition.com/?p=79">"School 2.0 and the Unit on TIme."</a>

I was referring to LITC...great mission.<br />
<br />
I'm a bit biased because I love Moodle, but it supports both synchronous and asynchronous activities quite well (with more ways to do it all the time), and it's much cheaper than desire2learn....cause it's free!<br />
<br />
If you want to try it out before making a decision, I admin several free Moodle sites throughout the US. You're more than welcome to play around with it.
