Abstract—Like most university students worldwide, the
engineering students at the School of Information Sciences (ESI)
have to deal with their school closure and the new paradigm of
distance learning. Despite efforts made by the administration
and the teachers to accompany students, an internal survey
conducted by the end of October 2021 revealed that almost all
students, especially first-year ones, did not accept distance
learning. This paper describes our experience to improve
students’ satisfaction with distance learning by involving them
in their courses’ design process. Four courses were concerned
by the experience and were designed following the ADDIE
method. Last-year students participated in the ADDIE analysis
step, while the first-year students participated in the last step by
evaluating the co-created courses. Courses were co-created with
students as most of them got involved in the ADDIE
development step and enriched courses by realizing extras
activities. Results showed that students were highly satisfied
with courses taught in the context of this study.
Index Terms—COVID-19, ADDIE, Moodle, MS teams,
