Using Active Student‐Centered Learning‐Based Instructional Design to Develop Faculty and Improve Course Design, Delivery, and Evaluation

This paper describes how the Resource‐Enriched Learning Model (RELM), an active student‐centered approach to faculty development and course design, delivery, and evaluation (Lavoie 2001), has been applied to develop an online Master of Science in Accounting Program. With its focus on the processes underlying quality teaching and learning, RELM provides faculty with a skill set learned in the same environment that they ultimately will create for their students. Having experienced active learning firsthand in the online environment, faculty are better prepared to create a similar learning environment for their students.
