A Designer’s Log Case Studies in Instructional Design- P33:This book deals with the design of distance education at an emerging dual-mode university, that is, a university offering courses both on-campus and via distance education or online in a variety of manners. It was written from the point of view of an instructional designer (ID) working alongside university professors in designing their courses for distance delivery | CASE STUDY 7 Let s Shake to That Case Characteristics This is the first case where the professor M got involved in the process for a personal P reason to leave it to posterity in his own words see Table 12 . As a full professor FP he had substantial time available 4 and he met with me face-to-face at first and then we collaborated asynchronously. Given the relatively high level of collaboration I estimated our meetings at 8 . This was likely because he was on sabbatical leave for a year and the design of his course was a priority for him.

Finally his previous course outline included a fair number of GOs and SOs an excellent jumping-off point for redesigning his course.

He informed me that the project leader had insisted on his being present at the first meeting. I said I would speak to the project leader on the matter. He said that he too would speak to the project leader. The tension was palpable. I did speak with el jefe giving him my reasons for not wanting the IDCs present during initial meetings with professors . their presence tended to distract the professor and impede the natural flow of the design process by focusing on the latter steps in the design process . He said he CASE STUDY 7 .
