Similar to coaching sports, being consistent in our expectations and goals is the key.
Being the same in and out of the coarse makes it easier for students to complete the class.
Consistentency in developing templates as well as tes the templates.
Keeping courses structured and uniform will contribute to student sucesss. Students will become more confident and less frustrated when accessing course material.
Consistency is key. While not every module has to be exactly the same, they should all be similar in length, font size, words, shapes and colors. Other modalities should be incorporated when possible to enhance the course content and reach all styles of learning. Creating a respository is something I plan to use in the near future with a catalog of file names for easier access.
Using consistent nomenclature, i.e., learing objects, in identifying resources for use and reuse may help students locate and use said objects.
I learned the importance of creating and testing a course module.
It's good to know the uniform presentation of material through text.
Students rely on consistency of templates to guide their learning. It helps them to learn where to find information and identify what is important. Learning objectives should be chunked into 15 minute intervals for ease of learning. Information should be stored in data bases for easy cross referencing.
I have learned that the layout and design of each module should be consistant. Also that it will be very beneficial to me as the instructor to develop a database of my resources so that I can quickly locate and reuse as needed.
The main points of this module is to be consistent with the format and instructions and chunk material. Too long of a video or information can cause students to loose interest.
Consistency and quality are the keys to successful on line class
You must really do some serious thinkng about content, how to deliver it, and how to organize it before starting.
Learning objects are a critical part of any LMS. They can be created by the instructor, or inherited from other sources, and directly enhance learning.
The design and flow of a course, particularly online, can dictate student and teacher success. The correct volume, sequence, and approach to learning material are critical when engaging students, and managing expectations.
It's important to make sure things are customized to your students and that you as the instructor know the material and the format.
Chunking is one thing I need to do in order to make sure students are successful in their learning.
What I have learned the most is to be consistant with the frame work.
Being consistent is important down to the font size. Students need to know that it is the same format throughout the course.
"Chunking" can be a valuable way to present content so that students can successfully reflect on their learning before moving on to new material.
