When designing online instruction, CAIT considers the audience needs, content being delivered, and specified performance expectations. Prior to designing instruction:

• The need has been identified.
• The desired content to address the need has been identified.
• The instructional objectives have been identified.

Once the need, content and objectives have been determined, CAIT outlines the appropriate sequence of content and the instructional strategies needed to meet the identified needs of the audience.

Below are select instructional strategies/lessons developed for a variety of audiences to highlight how CAIT has:

• Presented new concepts in interesting ways
• Provided the learner the opportunity to interact with content when learning new concepts
• Provided practice so students can check what they have learned and receive immediate feedback
