Distance Learning Course Design: Considering International Learners and Diversity
Abstract
Research has extensively provided insight regarding best practices for designing distance learning courses at U.S. institutions of higher education. However, with the increase in course offerings to students abroad and with the documented challenges that international students enrolled in U.S. courses face, it is important to consider whether current frameworks for course design support the needs of international learners. Unfortunately, little research exists that examines this facet of culturally responsive course design and development. This chapter presents what is currently understood regarding international learners enrolled in U.S. courses, an overview of the most widely utilized frameworks for course design in the U.S. context, what preliminary research suggests regarding support for international learners, and practical implications and areas in need of further exploration.
