Hello @johanateachering !

When designing courses for Open edX, the best instructional design approach largely depends on the type of content, target audience, and learning objectives. However, here are some general recommendations tailored to Open edX:

  1. Active Learning Strategies:
    Use tools like interactive XBlocks (Drag and Drop, Image Explorer, or Problem Builder) to engage learners and foster active participation.

  2. Multimedia Integration:
    Open edX supports multimedia elements like videos, images, and PDFs. Incorporating diverse content types caters to different learning styles and keeps learners engaged.

  3. Assessments and Feedback:
    Leverage built-in tools like quizzes, peer assessments, and discussion forums to provide continuous feedback and measure learner progress.

Every instructional design can be adapted for Open edX. The key is aligning the design to the capabilities of the platform and the specific needs of your learners.
