| Abstract | Online learning has become a standard in today's teaching environment whether teaching fully online or using a blended learning approach. Various kinds of emerging technologies such as Virtual Reality are continually evolving or being developed, and educators are required to keep up with this trend. Educators are required to create and teach courses that not only informs and educates, but also motivates the learner to complete the courses. The traditional educator is often asked to develop an online course with perhaps no experience or guide to do so. The main research question this study attempted to answer was if an Online Course Development Framework could be created that can aid educators in developing online courses for emerging technologies. This research study set out to discover if there are any theories, methods and models that can support educators to develop online courses for emerging technologies and then, to develop a framework that can be used to aid educators in developing online courses. To achieve the findings of the main research question, the research conducted a literature review to discover theories models and methods that could be used in the creation of an online course, then conducting semi-structured interviews with expert educators. The semi-structured interviews were then analysed using a thematic analysis process. An Online Course Development Framework was then created based on literature review findings and interview responses. Thereafter, the framework was tested by gathering feedback from experienced educators after presenting the Online Course Development Framework and an Online Virtual Reality Development course outline that was created by using the framework. The research found that by combining a learning theory such as constructivism, the ADDIE Instructional design model, ARCS-V Motivational model, and Bloom's Taxonomy to construct the framework, the Online Course Development Framework could be used to support educators in creating online courses for emerging technologies. When tested, the Online Course Development Framework proved to be relevant to the expert educators that responded to requests for feedback. All the educators thought that it could be used to help support the development of online courses for emerging technologies and provided an all-important motivational design element that is needed in online courses. By providing a useful online course development framework, educators could develop more online courses for emerging technologies. (As Provided). |
