Though you aren't as far as some others, you are clear about who your audience is, the kind of learning environment you want to create ("My goal is to create instructional design that is interactive and meaningful which creates an engaging learning environment."), and you have a good start on your course objectives (your outcomes will guide you in writing these). Please work on your needs assessment as soon as possible. There are lots of ways of doing this. Our texts gave us several approaches. One way that can help you focus your thinking is to consider each of these.
