I have learned at this early stage of the course that some elements I use in class are validated as critically instrumental to improve the quality of instruction. For example, the quality of materials (design) being visually appealing and the materials being engaging and intellectually stimulating for students. It's very reassuring! I dedicate a lot of time to both tasks, and I love that it's so important in online instruction.
A well-structured and easy-to-follow course is crucial to a successful online course. Modules are an easy way to organize your content
Online learning has both similarities and differences to traditional, in-person classes. The interaction between teacher and students needs to be the same high quality but different.
Online students should not struggle to find information in their courses. This frustration can be avoided by creating courses that are easy to navigate.
I appreciated the listing of the navigational link types: overview, notes, calendar, assignments, discussion, location.
Intellectual interaction to promote learning.
I plan on creating more intellectual interaction within my courses to not only increase the engagement and retention of information for my students, but also to encourage a more complete understanding of the material and the ability to contribute to the class.
I learned how many colleges and programs are taught online.
I think the most important think is a student centered course and all activities that we create for them.
I think the content of this first part of the course is very interesting. The structure proposed to present online courses is appropriate.
Hello! It is interesting to analyze the progress of online education, increasingly important for the training of professionals and experts in different disciplines. I keep the idea that the form (structure) of the course has a special relationship with the contents. A pleasure to greet you from Cordoba, Argentina.
In the "Characteristics of Quality Online Courses" module, I learned about the importance of structural integrity, navigational simplicity, and learner-centered focus in online courses. These aspects can help address diverse learners and stimulate intellectual interaction based on their experiences. I plan to apply these concepts to enhance engagement, increase work completion, and improve student achievement in my future online courses.
The design of the course is very useful for the beginners and a refresh for the seniors.
The level of interaction is crucial to supplement the quality of media in an online course to see growth in learning happen.
Structural integrity, navigational simplicity, active learner-centered learning, and intellectual interaction are key. I am going to focus on incorporating more high quality media into my courses.
I've learned about the evolution of distant learning
That courses need to be well designed, with good navigate, an appropriate structure, and opportunities for intellectual interaction.
