About This Course

WGU Catalog 2026-03
Developing an E-Learning Solution and Research Methodology is the second of three capstone courses in the program. This course focuses on the next two phases of the design-based research process: designing and developing an e-learning solution and designing a research methodology to test how well the solution addressed the instructional problem. This course also requires that learners continue applying Design Thinking as they ideate potential solutions to the instructional problem and begin prototyping a module of instruction. Finally, this course teaches learners how to design research studies that ensure the safety of human subjects and the ethical collection, storage, and reporting of data. The course Identifying Learner Needs and a Research Problem is a prerequisite for this course.
