1. HOW TO PROVIDE EFFECTIVE INSTRUCTION THAT WORKS E-Learning Instructional Design Model

2. What is effective instructional Module for E-Learning 1. Does the program immediately capture attention when it is run? 2. Does the training program explain its relevance to learners? 3. Does it answer the student's question, "What's in it for me?" 4. Are learning objectives presented near the beginning of each lesson? 5. Are learning objectives specific and observable? 6. Is the presentation of content made interesting with a variety of media or through an engaging treatment? 7. Does the program provide a variety of interactive exercises beyond simple multiple-choice questions? 8. Are learners given the opportunity for frequent practice? 9. Is feedback on practice immediate and specific? 10. Does the program include a post-test or other final assessment? (Kevin, 2001)

3. How do you create effective instruction? Does the instruction process include learning the current state of the learner Making sure the learner has the basic knowledge successfully to complete the task. (Kevin, 2001)

4. Relevance to learners An effective E-Learning design should include its relevance to the learner. Model should explain why? And How the Learner would use this E-Module beyond the course and in real life. (Kevin, 2001)

5. "What's in it for me?” Does the E-Learning Model answer the student's question, What’s in it for me? When a student can see the value of the learning Module, they will be more willing to Learn and obtain more knowledge and study harder. (Kevin, 2001)

6. Are learning objectives presented near the beginning of each lesson? Learning objective should be clear to students. Step by step instructions learning out comes of each project should be at the beginning of the course and support learning objectives. Learning objects also gives the student a road map of what to expect from the learning module and what they should expect to gain from the module. (Kevin, 2001)

7. Are learning objectives specific and observable? The reason for objective to be specific are Clear objectives clarify what the learning expectations are. What is expected by the instructor? Instructional task to be completed? Step by step instruction for completion of task. (Kevin, 2001)

8. Use of media to engage Learning Is a variety of media used to help student engage in interactive learning. Are graphics, the internet, presentations, and other media used to enrich the content of the E-Learning course (Kevin, 2001)

9. Interactive exercises beyond simple multiple-choice questions? Simple multiple choice answers will only prove that the learner can remember the answer to a simple question. Interactive and multi-solution problems engages the learner in an inter-active problem solving skill therefore strengthening the learners knowledge in problem solving. (Kevin, 2001)

10. Are learners given the opportunity for frequent practice When learners have the opportunity to frequently practice what they have learn, they will become better learners Learners will retain more and begin to visualize and keep instruction in their long term memory (Kevin, 2001)

11. Is feedback on practice immediate and specific Immediate feedback gives the learner a quick answer to a question the learner may be struggling with. When learners struggle with questions or get confused, they may not be able to focus on the task at hand. Also when confused learners my shut down and the learning process may completely stop., because of frustration. (Kevin, 2001)

12. Does the program include a post-test or other final assessment Post test or a final assessment are a confirms if learning has taken place or not. Depending on the type of assessment, Internal, external, or personal student and faculty can assess if learning has taken place. (Kevin, 2001)
