This study focuses on prospective instructional designers‘ perception toward creating online
courses including which elements are essential for developing such platforms. The study is
significant for revealing what the prospective instructional designers focus on while they design
certain learning opportunities. The participants of the study were the ―Computer Education and
Instructional Technology (CEIT)‖ students from a university in Turkey (n=133) ranging from
freshman to senior grades. Since the study aimed to obtain data to determine specific
characteristics of a group, a non-experimental survey research design was employed.
The participants were asked to assess the importance of fifteen online course elements (such as
texts and videos). Afterwards, the participants were provided with seventeen sentences to reveal
their thorough perceptions toward designing online courses. The study identified that the
participants value feedback mechanism (M=4.69) at the most. The participants believed that the
type of web browsers (M=4.50), the course login system (M=4.48), emailing tools (M=4.42), texts
(M=4.32) and pictures (M=4.22) are fundamental elements of any online course. The study
revealed that prospective instructional designers for online platforms were furnished themselves
with the essence of offering online instructional activities. In this study as an example of gender
related study, the significant differences on study items were found between males and females
participants in terms of their perceptions on online courses. The results showed that voice
mechanism was more important for female participants than male and female participants were
logically-oriented and visual learners‘ during the entire online session.
