Diseño instructivo de una unidad de aprendizaje en un curso virtual de inglés científico

Abstract

Within the framework of internet as a learning tool, pioneering e-learning experiences are taking place nowadays at the university context. We believe that teaching ESP courses through virtual learning platforms can be a great opportunity to promote these subjects. The instructional design of didactic materials is one of the main bases for a successful development of the on-line learning environment, so that it can help students develop their own self-learning processes. In this paper we present the instructional design of a learning object which belongs to a virtual course on Reading Scientific English Texts in order to offer an alternative of how the instructional design of didactic materials can be organized within the e-learning context
