You must continuosly test your modules for consitency make sure the students understand the information you're trying to display.
The instructor should establish several mathonds of learning the matereial and providing feedback so all different typs of learners can engage and feel comfortable. Additionally consistancey throughout each module would help students learn.
Be consistient in course content and learn how to modify it to make it easier to navigator for the user. It will make for a better student (learner) environment.
I believe consistency is important for student learning, but it is also important for the teachers organization as well.
I agree with several posts: Consistency is a key factor. Also, keeping content tight and relevant - not overly wordy or packed. This section spoke about breaking large topics apart through chunking giving learners time to 'chew' information.
Consistency with modules is a given. One needs to be able to keep themselves organized.
Object database is pretty useful if you follow a standardized naming-conventions for your files.
This is a great idea, and will help me a lot.
This module showed us that when we are creating our learning objects database, it is important to be consistent with the learning modues and templates with how/where they are posted, how the inormation will be chunked, the types of learning activities and the types of assessments offered. Testing & revising will be key within the learning modules.
Consistency is the key to gaining the learner's trust and to make them feel accommodated. Its also helps in giving the learner a sesne of structure.
The most important thing I learned is the chuncking of information and maintaining a consistent template and data base for storage and reuse of information.
Staying consistant across all courses is important for the sudents to become more famiiar with the style of receiving information as well as the movement of the coursework. Creating a database too make for a great reference source for any future questions or even back tracking to finalize a thought of a previously misunderstood concept.
I have learned that consistency is important when creating modules.
I've learned that it will take careful planning of course content to assist my students in their learning process. I would like to put into action a test module and have another teacher be able to give feedback on the simplicity of opening, following directions of the activity and do an assessment.
I have learned to break the information into chunks vs. giving the students too much information all at once. This can be done in various ways such as short videos, handouts, PP.
Create a course framework (what should the student know and do), Learning objects database, make a template for your modules and test it (on going test), consistency is the key to success,scaffolding instruction, must support the learning objectives, and have a discussion board, and feedback from your students.
The main concept I am taking away from this section is consistency. Having someone other than the designers "test" the course for consistency and functionality that benefits learning. Without consistency more time is spent navigating or figuring out what is needed versus what should be learned.
I see how important it is to construct a platform that is consistent and with information that is relevant to the course.
I found it interesting that the fonts should be consistent throughtout all modules, and "chunking" as a way to maintain temporal consistency.
Consistency is important when creating a course and modules. Consistency helps students navigate through the course with ease.
The concept of learning objects in interesting. Much like object-oriented programming, discreet modules can be created and then recombined to enhance related courses. For instance, I use a values excercise that can be used within my Design Analysis + Synthesis class as well as my Innovation Narratives. They module addresses a foundational element.
Students know what to expect when courses or learning modules are consistent. I use this method during in person class and the students are able to manage the homework with their schedule.
