How to design an e-course✦Start from choosing instructional design model (there are plenty of them)
✦We use ADDIE model:✦Analyze: conditions, learning needs, target group,
context✦Design: defining learning objectives, choosing media
and tools, making structure of the course and topics, creating course program
✦Develop: materials, study guide, ready course✦Implement: running the e-course with real students✦Evaluate: evaluation takes place during all steps of the
model, but also important after completing the course to obtain the general feedback

E-tools also should:✦if possible consider students with special needs (disabilities);
✦take into account different cultural background of students when compiling learning materials;
✦enable students to give feedback to the course’ content and requirements;
✦increase interaction of the course and provide better feedback to students on their learning progress;
