Get Your Students Hired
What an interesting module. I loved being able to justify the quality of course elements, including images, videos, and how to improve student engagement and even the connection among students.
Audio, graphics, text, video, etc... are understood during the design and development phase. Feedback from implementation can be useful in order to change and develop new strategies for student learning.
I really appreciated learning a great deal about how all of the elements gather together, even testing. In regards to my own school I am thinking about just how I might be able to bring out the best in my students with standards tied to future and upcoming tests.
The emphasis on creating a structured yet flexible online learning environment is key. Organizing course material in a logical, building-block manner facilitates self-directed learning, making it easier for students to grasp the progression of the course. Additionally, the incorporation of diverse examples caters to different student backgrounds, enhancing understanding. The concept of fostering a learning community, even in an online setting, through peer accountability and collaborative activities like discussion groups and group projects, is particularly effective. It not only enriches the learning experience but also promotes engagement and a sense of belonging among students, crucial elements in successful online education.
Effective media techniques for online course design include incorporating a variety of excellent, easily accessible formats—such as podcasts, interactive simulations, and videos—into the course material in a seamless manner. A strategic plan, content development, implementation, ongoing evaluation of the course's efficacy, and learner requirements analysis are all part of the crucial process known as Instructional Systems Design (ISD). These methods are essential for developing worthwhile educational experiences, particularly in cutting-edge industries like cryptocurrency and blockchain.
Course development is ever evolving and should be constantly reviewed after the initial development to make sure that the resources given continue to work and the course continues to meet both the objectives and the needs of the students.
The use of course content can be an huge part of the instructors ability to grab the students' attention.
The phases of the ISD model can be also used to evaluate a current course and how if it is meeting the objectives and student learning outcomes planned.
The use of this model and the selection of appropiate design and development for an online course can determine its success.
Helping the learner organize their thoughts by using clear defined instructions for each assignment or assessment is key to successful outcomes. Using rubrics is very helpful to help the learner navigate an assignment or assessment in an organized and constructive manner.
Designing interactive coursework that is engaging allows for the ability to evaluate and assess what students know.
From the basic principles of instructional systems designs and having 4 main phases such as analysis, design, development, evaluation, to peer accountability was very informative.
We must follow the phases of the instructional design of the course to be more accurate
Looking at the different strategies for student interaction, I liked the idea of using concept maps in future online program design.
The importance of giving the students a purpose within the course so that they stay motivated and engaged.
Using the different media strategies to engage students. Now I need to learn where to find some of the tools to incorporate these into my courses.
I'm reading about microlectures - could be something there to trial related to video of 2-7 minutes at max.
