The most important thing I learned was consistency and length
I use google classroom: I will make sure assignments are in one spot and that I label each so the students can easily find them.
I learned the importance of being consistant and using templetes to save time.
I really like the idea of creating a Learning Database to have a central location for files, graphics, videos and other things of intrest that students (and I) can easily access and organzises the information.
I learned that it's very important to break info up into chuncks to make things easier to find and in the end saves time for future work.
I leart that in creating course-module template, student proir knowledge and their learning needs should be considered, hence the need to have an on-going testsing and review of course content to meet those learning expectations.
For online learning, it is important to maintain consistency between the modules. To save time, the teacher should develop a learning objects database.
Consistency is important for learner ease-of-use of the course, and it should be evaluated continually for areas that can be improved.
Simplicity in module design is key when creating the module set up. When designing the module it is important to consider the ease of use for both students and parents. Appearance also matters. Keep it simple, nothing flashy.
Students need to be able to use the online templates. It is important to stay consistant in each seperate module. These modules must also be user friendly. Keep in mind as they are being developed, this is an online class. It is very different than a class you have taught in person. Small chunks of information need to be used whether it be video, text, or audio. Students need time to process the information given.
Consistency and other factors such as font size, type, and lesson length. The lessons should be about the same length so students know what to expect and if not, chunk the information. After reading this material, it has me thinking about how to deliver material in the classroom, too.
Be consistent throughout the course.
Consistency is very important throughout all your modules. Make sure you understand your students knowledge and learning needs.
Making prerecorded objectives for your database can save you time because you can reuse them
Make sure you have someone test your modules before students use it, so you can make any corrections
Be consistant with the text you use and be consistant with the lengh of each module
Always make sure your objectives are tied with the subject matter
I've learned that if my distict gets a portal learning it is going to be a struggle.
Staying on top of the schedule...accurate record keeping for accountability for both instructor and students is key!
consistency is very important
Consistency is key when maing templates. One must put themselves in the students view.
Scaling down larger lessons into smaller chunks is something that I have been trying to do lately. My initial thought for making video lectures would not consider having small chucks, since a student could pause the video when needed; however, breaking the lecture down into a series would force the student to stop and reflex, and it would force me to consciously create small activities, practice problems, etc. that could be done between each part of the lecture series.
I learned that consistency in design is essential for students to be able to navigate the course materials. Also, I learned that having a place to store documents, clips, course materials can save time because you can use them for different courses or at different times.
Course consistency and chunking will ensure better student engagement. Also, I agree that videos should be no longer than 5-10 minutes.
