Creating a "Learning Objectives Database" will help save time when authoring modules, especially sonce we'll have to stay flexible and continue to tweak templates as we go.
It's very important to keep your modules consistent, using a 10 to 14 point text size, an easy to read font style, and use bold and italics to emphasis important information. It's also important to create a Learning-Objects Database (a repository to store files, graphics, audio, video, or any necessary course components that may be used more than once) and maintain it. By maintaining your Learning-Objects Database, it will save you time. You'll be able to find, sort, locate, and upload desired components to use in multiple courses.
I like to provide detailed images and tables that give a framework to the students about when assignments I due. I find that having a very clear schedule helps to keep them on track. I learned that this kind of framework provides positive reinforcement.
I have always used grouping, but I have not developed or used templates. I think implimenting them will decrease my prep time.
I have learner a new aooroach to online teaching
Matching the length of modules and applying consistent guidelines are probably more important than I originally thought. Anything that keeps student's attention and encourages course completion is always a big plus.
Consistency is extremely important, keeping the modules looking similar.
Develope my courses with consistency to deliver the content to my students with diligence.
Storing the files, audio, video, excel spreadsheets are great way to build the Learning object database that we can use more than once in variety of course.
Course consistancy is important. It is also important to make sure that each module takes approximately the same amounto of time time complete.
After doing online course the following statement holds true:
The course-module template is a cyclical and ongoing process. It must occur more than once to identify areas in which students may have difficulty or to ensure content, graphics, etc. are properly placed to enhance student learning.
Maintaining a consistent framework for each course makes it easier for the students to navigate the course, as well as stay on task.
There are times when the instructor can allow studentss to share their work experience with the class to give support to the others.
I discovered that module consistency is of vital importance.
Allowing students to participate and sharing their reflection allows mmatter.e to see how much they understood from the subject matter.
Student's learning isimperative. Therefore the instructor should ensure that students participate in the discussion.
I have learnnt that the couirse module templates is a cyclical and ongoing process which should b e repeated. Repition enable students to do better with their comprehension.
We are using this template now, but just needs to be used consistanlty by all the instructors using it.
Make sure you plans have a rhyme to the reason. Your district or someone else may have valuable options to bolster you online teaching. Don’t feel you have to do everything yourself.
