Good news! My group mate reappeared so I am not flying solo on the case study. I was surprised to see no new info this week. It looks like the instructions are sort of open ended and as an instructional designer I am free to pursue the case study as I see fit. John and I discussed the prelim questions a bit more and we are debating how to handle the final recommendations. We worked on some new work flows and we may offer web site redesign suggestions. Really the case is not too complicated, the web site for the course is horrible and it is no wonder the students are confused.
It is interesting that in the case study the course instructor was very enthusiastic about online leaning and felt that her course would convince other professors that these courses would be viable. Then she proceeded to shoot herself in the foot by not designing the course correctly. In addition to redesigning the course, our recommendations will include suggestions to seek help with the technical side of the course design in the future from somebody with experience.

Yessir! That's the way i read the instructions; open-ended and a chance to explore some instructional design chops.
