?? A pandemic-sized challenge: How do we help students catch up? Recent studies show that many students are still half a grade level behind due to learning disruptions from COVID-19. But some school districts, like Spring Branch ISD, are proving that targeted interventions can work. ? Intensive tutoring programs ? Data-driven instruction ? Personalized learning strategies At CourseArc, we believe high-quality, accessible digital learning can be part of the solution. What strategies have you seen work in your school or institution? Let’s discuss! #LearningRecovery #EdTech #K12Education #HigherEd #OnlineLearning #EducationInnovation #DesignBuildEducate #CourseArc #TheFutureofEducation

?? Accessibility isn’t an afterthought—it’s a necessity. Imagine a classroom where every student, regardless of ability, can fully engage with the content. That’s the goal of digital accessibility, but too often, it’s treated as an extra step rather than a core part of course design. The truth? Making content accessible benefits all learners. Whether it’s captions on a video, screen-reader-friendly materials, or clear navigation, these adjustments improve comprehension and retention for everyone. At CourseArc, we’re passionate about helping educators create truly inclusive learning experiences—and we’ve designed a course to help you do just that. ?? Join our upcoming Digital Accessibility Essentials course to learn practical strategies to ensure your content is accessible to all learners. ??

Great course design starts with great planning. Instructional designers know that crafting effective learning experiences isn’t about throwing content together—it’s about strategy, structure, and science. That’s where the ADDIE model (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, Evaluate) comes in. This framework helps educators create courses that are well-organized, engaging, and—most importantly—effective. ?? When combined with brain science research, ADDIE becomes even more powerful. Understanding how learners absorb and retain information can help shape course design that sticks. ?? Want to apply these best practices to your course creation? We break it down in our latest blog post: ?? https://lnkd.in/e6MbjSm7 #InstructionalDesign #eLearning #BrainScience #LearningDesign #ADDIE #CourseArc #DesignBuildEducate
