The molst important thing I have learned thus far is how important it is to be consistent in uploading templates and organizing the modules. Being thrown into the remote world like I was this past semester I will organize things a little bit more for my students so that it is simplier for them and will make the learning environment easier for them to learn in.
I found two key learnings for myself. First, Consistency for the format when developing online learning. Second, think about different learning types when sharing content with students, text e is not the best for everyone.
Making sure that the courses flow the same that makes it consistent and easy to follow.
On line courses should be consistant for the student to stay engaged.
Being consistent with developing, which I have been doing, however, making it section short and consistent while embedding formative assessments along the way to ensure students are on track are the biggest thing. We do it in a classroom why wouldn't we do in on our online platform as well.
Be consistent with the creation and appearance of Course Modules;break content up into manageable chunks of 5-10 minutes, so that students will stay engaged.
Being able to take an existing face2face class and "chunk" it has proven timeconsuming but ultimately much more rewarding for my students.
What I learned was our framework and module plans are within our syllabus. Prety much along the lines of this first lecture. It is laid out per day or week and helps the student keep on track with their goals and keeping up with class. I agree with the length of time to show a video clip. So I always have that longer resource available in our class Google drive for their reference.
I've learned to be consistent with module creation so that students know what to expect. I will also begin to build a learning database for my courses and make sure to keep any instructional video supplementary material to under 5 minutes, if possible.
Chunking is defined as creating smaller units of information that are also coordinated with larger units, module, or courses. This is beneficial for student learning as the learner typically loses focus while watching a video that is longer than 5-10 minutes.
Consistency between modules and proper database management.
I have learned in this module about the importance of developing a course framework through modules that are organized in digestible chunks, are consistent in font size, structure, length, and predictability as the student goes through each module. Students need a consistent framework that scaffolds and reinforces their learning. Learning objects should be stored in a data base to help locate and organize and re-use in other modules. Course modules must be tested and retested by independent individuals to determine if the modules need changing, correcting, of modifying to make them work better.
What I learn from this module is to know your audience prior to the design your course, and is necessary to revise the course throughout the process to enhance student learning process. Module consistency template enhances the learning process and reduces student anxiety as students navigate through the course.
Consistency in module development will make the learning process familiar and approachable throughout the process.
Creating a data base holding system will greatly ease my time management system. Placing my class resources into the data base will enhance my skills library.
1: it's all about the student.
2: Make it easy for the student. Easy to find things because the layouts are consistent, easy to predict brain-drain because the lengths are consistent, easy to understand because one "chunk" of knowledge via "learning objects" because each leads to another, and easy to feel at home because the voice is consistent.
3: Make it relevant. Every lesson contributes to the goal of the course as stated in the learning objectives.
It is important to keep formatting easy to use, easy to understand, and consistent.
Making sure the course modules are all the same for students to navigate through courses easily. Students will gain a better understanding this way. Another important aspect I learned is ensuring the content being used has meaning and purpose.
I learned that it is important to be consistent in the deliverance of your content.
When authoring, make sure to use consistent fonts, colors, and limit bolding.
