I have learned developing a course work can assist students un teh learning process. What really happens the student in course work is consistency. Through the course work and audeince analysis can be deteremined which focuses on the students base knowledge and students learning needs.
That all learning modules should have the same format.
I learned that students need to have way to find all the information they need in simple layout. Everything needs to be outline for the students on the expectations of distance learning.
The most important thing I learned is creating templates, and organizing contents appropriately.
That it is important to keep the modules consistent. Stare learning material in the database to provide easy Quik access to material.
I learned that developing a course framework is important for students in the learning process. It should be done with careful planning to ensure thatr the course content supports the course learning objective.
Two things I learned are consistency & preparedness>
I learned that we should keep a file of "learning objects" which can be easily accessed.
Being consistant is key to students success
I believe in consistency also framework. I also have used chunking in a classroom setting and believe it will be a great advantage with online instruction. In my profession 5-10 min. film clips work the best.
Creating and sharing a learning-object Database can make your life a ton easier the next time you teach a course.
Course modules should be consistent and easy to follow. They should also be similar in length. Course materials should be kept in an organized fashion and made readily available for students to access. I plan to take a look at my on-line modules for my course to ensure consistency, length or organization.
The importance of planning and creating a course module template, testing the template, revising, and implementing. Implementation should also be from the student perspective. Modules should be consistent from module to module.
For me the biggest takeaway from this module was the need for consistency. I can see how changing even small components from module to module might confuse students. I definately see myself creating and testing modules before opening them to students.
I Learned how to create differnt type of online techniques that I use with my students.
During this module I learned new vocabulary words. As an instructor, I always tell my students to learn new vocabulary words so he/she can increase their reading skills. Today, I learned the meaning of instructional scaffolding and junking.
It is very intresting on how the sites are required to be set up and the difficulty it can cause if you do not keep the same format through out the entire course.
My biggest take-away was that module consistency is a must. Sections or weekly are both fine but chucking information together into smaller amounts will help the learners.
Consistency in modules is important. I like the objects database.
I learned that it would be a good idea to have someone who has not seen your class site take a look at it to make sure the links make sense and everything is easy to get to/understand. This will help to prevent many issues that students would have had, and to address the consistency/flow of the site before students look at it for the first time. I like this idea and will do this.
