Last updated
D301 Developing an E-Learning Solution and Research Methodology (LXD 6054, 3 CUs in the September 2026 WGU catalog) is the second of the three capstone courses in the M.Ed. Education Technology and Instructional Design, seated in term 3 of the two 32-CU specialization tables and term 4 of the 38-CU combined path, with D300 stated as its prerequisite. Per the published description it covers the next two phases of the design-based research process, designing and developing an e-learning solution and designing a research methodology to test how well the solution addressed the instructional problem, with continued Design Thinking ideation, module prototyping, and research designs that ensure the safety of human subjects and the ethical collection, storage, and reporting of data. Coursework Ninja completes D301 done-for-you, fixed quote in writing first. From $99. Independent of WGU.
Next question: how does D302, the 5-CU final capstone, close the series?
Per WGU's published description, D301 is the capstone's middle course: the second of three capstone courses in the program. It focuses on the next two phases of the design-based research process, designing and developing an e-learning solution and designing a research methodology to test how well that solution addressed the instructional problem. Learners continue applying Design Thinking as they ideate potential solutions and begin prototyping a module of instruction, and the course teaches how to design research studies that ensure the safety of human subjects and the ethical collection, storage, and reporting of data. The course Identifying Learner Needs and a Research Problem is a stated prerequisite.
Its seat matches D300 exactly: term 3 of both 32-CU specialization tables beside D299 and D300, and term 4 of the 38-CU both-specializations table beside D300 and D302. The build it asks for inherits the D299 lab's habits, and the methodology half is the piece most designers have never written, which is exactly why the term plan matters. The current catalog carries no certificate variant of D301. Tell us the code and your track, and we fix the quote in writing first.

Coverage
What D301 completion covers
The solution build
The description's first phase here: design and develop an e-learning solution, with Design Thinking ideation and a prototyped module of instruction. The prototype has to trace back to the D300 problem, not restart it.
The research methodology
The second phase: design a research methodology to test how well the solution addressed the instructional problem. The evaluation question drives the method, and the method drives the data plan.
Human subjects safety
The description names it outright: design research studies that ensure the safety of human subjects. Consent, risk, and protection language is graded content, not boilerplate.
Ethical data handling
The ethical collection, storage, and reporting of data closes the description. A methodology that says what will be measured but not how the data is protected is incomplete by the description's own terms.
Full degree plan integration
D301 alone is a single from $99. On a remaining M.Ed. list it folds into the flat $3,500 master's package with the written 6-month finish guarantee covering every course on the plan, this one included.

Bottlenecks
Where D301 stalls capstone builders
D301 is the course where the build and the study design must agree, and it stalls students from both directions. These are the stalls we take over most often.
- A solution prototype that drifts from the D300 problem statement, so the methodology has nothing clean to test.
- Methodology sections that name a survey but never argue why that method tests the instructional problem.
- Human-subjects safety reduced to a sentence, when the description makes it a design requirement.
- Data plans that cover collection and skip storage and reporting, both named in the description.
- Two deliverables managed as one giant document, so neither the build nor the study design gets finished on schedule.

Questions, answered
Per the September 2026 WGU institutional catalog, Developing an E-Learning Solution and Research Methodology (LXD 6054, 3 CUs) is the second of three capstone courses in the program. It covers the next two phases of the design-based research process: designing and developing an e-learning solution, and designing a research methodology to test how well the solution addressed the instructional problem. Learners apply Design Thinking to ideate and begin prototyping a module of instruction, and the course teaches designing studies that ensure the safety of human subjects and the ethical collection, storage, and reporting of data. D300 is a stated prerequisite.
Per the current catalog, all three M.Ed. Education Technology and Instructional Design tables: term 3 of the 32-CU K-12 (MEDETIDK12 202312) and 32-CU Adult Learner (MEDETIDA 202312) specializations beside D299 and D300, and term 4 of the 38-CU both-specializations path (MEDETID 202312) beside D300 and D302. If your degree plan shows LXD 6054, this is the course.
The catalog description states that Identifying Learner Needs and a Research Problem (D300) is a prerequisite for this course. D300 itself gates on the D299 design lab, so the capstone trio runs strictly in order: D300, then D301, then D302.
No. It is the second of three. D302 Implementing and Evaluating E-Learning Solutions (LXD 6055, 5 CUs) follows it and closes the program, and the description of D302 names D301 as its prerequisite. Both have their own completion pages here.
WGU does not publish assessment formats in the catalog. The description centers a prototyped module plus a written research methodology, and we confirm the current format for your exact catalog year at intake. The fixed quote covers whichever assessment the course carries.
One course starts at $99, with the exact figure fixed in writing once we know where you stand. On a longer remaining master's list, the master's package is $3,500 flat with the written 6-month finish guarantee covering every course on the plan, this one included.
No. Coursework Ninja is an independent paid completion service, not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Western Governors University. WGU provides its own instructors, mentors, and evaluators; we are separate, for students who want this course finished on a fixed date.
