Chunking is defined as creating smaller units of information that are also coordinated with larger units, modules, 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. Good to know.
Ensuring that the course is structured consistently and ordered correctly will help keep the student's attention.
I learned to be consistent on deveoping the module which even includes the text size.
I learned my course should be easy to navigate for the students, and the modules should be consistent.
Consistency in the format makes for happy students when locating information.
Great idea to keep all learning objects in one space.
Once a module is developed you can use it and see what you can revise so it can be used again. It keeps you consistent with how you dispense information.
Consistency is key! In design, wording, and how we chunk different materials to help our students learn most effectively!
After studying this lesson, I think my course organization can use some improvement. I really like the idea of creating a database of course materials. I currently use various folders to store information and learning objects I've used in past courses. However, I think I can improve my own efficiency by putting all of these items in a central location. It will also help me avoid losing content or "forgetting" about something I used in one section of a course but not another.
In order to sucessfully teach your class, the teacher must keep in mind their audience. Then, teach accordingly with various methods to capture all learner's attention.
A very important takeawary inludes the objectives that need to be met when developing a course framework:
1. How will the content be delivered. 2. How will the student receive the content. 3. How will the student be assessed in their knowledge but most importantly - Analyze your audience.
I feel having a collections of learning objectives and using them in different subject is a great strategy to yourselves work
smarter.
I agree with Elizabeth short chunks keep the learners focused on the subject matter.
I plan to research my text books and work on formatting some of learning. they are excellent in comprehensions learning materials.
Being consist is a important part of the online learning process.
What I take from this course is objective should be clearly stated and detailed. There also could be more than one type of discussion
group. It is a great idea to post FAQ.
Reply to Larry Hill's post:Additionally, I will be couplling any video content with a Discussion Group to include visual learners and to gather different interpretations and opinions as well.
While most of my templates and course outlines are already ptovided through a LMS, I have learned that consistency is key when developing course modules. Reviewing existing outlines and modules through the LMS is vital prior to seetingup the course to ensure not only this consistency, but to determine a good flow of information, and to support all the established learning objectives.
I plan to stop reinventing the wheel. That I can take templates and learning objectives and tweak them to fit my student’s needs. However, in doing this I need to use a consistent format.
