Abstract

Based on Five-stage model, Deeper Learning Cycle (DELC), and other related theories, This study focused on the design of online learning activities. It explored and implemented a framework for designing online learning activities aimed at deep learning. The learning process was divided into four stages: preparation, information exchange, knowledge construction, and knowledge development. The activity design was driven by tasks, problems, or projects, with difficulty progressing in stages. It emphasized feedback and reflection, providing necessary learning support to help students in distance education optimize their learning experience, gain a deep understanding of knowledge, and improve higher-order thinking skills. Ultimately, this could enhance the teaching quality of online courses.
