The Impact of Stagnated Instructional Design: A Chain Reaction of Consequences
As an adjunct college professor myself, I can't stress enough the profound influence instructional design has on student success and satisfaction. When instructional methods become stagnant and fail to evolve with the changing needs of learners, a chain reaction of negative consequences is set in motion. Let’s start with the more commonly thought about consequences, such as dwindling motivation and lackluster academic performance. However, as we venture further, we will also shed light on the often overlooked and interconnected repercussions, including retention challenges, unsettling knowledge gaps, career setbacks, diminished satisfaction with the university, a tarnished academic reputation, weakened program competitiveness, and the heartrending reduction or elimination of cherished academic offerings.
