Get Your Students Hired
Consistency is key! The more you can keep the same, the easier it is for you as the author and for your students.
Being consistent with the framework of assignments so that are used to it, rather than relearning new ways or having to follow a new plan and routine. Making sure that all modules are the same length and take the same amount if time.
I learned about framework for the course modules and how it helps sequence information, which helps students build on prior knowledge. Also having a consistent database/ framework is beneficial to the course.
I learned consistancy is what students like, it makes it eaiser for instructional guidance and student navigation through the online course.
I have learned that consistency is important so that our online learners can quickly identify what it is we are looking for from them to be successful.
I learned courses can be designed chronologically or by course material. I also learned that chunking information into ~10 minute segments is beneficial for keeping the attention of the student.
The importance of consistent modules, as far as look and time. Will ensure I am covering all modules at similar lengths.
Ensuring module consistency is crucial for students to easily locate and progress through units of study, as well as to facilitate their access to all course information.
Hello,
From watching the module I've learned that it is best to be as constistent as possible to help my students understand material and expections. Also will assist the students in knowing where to look for information or how is the best to contact myself if they have a question.
Once you have identified learning objectives, you can organize the material into sections or modules, then develop content that reinforces those objectives, and 'chunk' the material into short, meaningful sections they can move through and see their progress as they complete it.
I learned the importance of module consistency. It definitely would enhance the learning experience for students and make it easier to navigate.
Comment on Manuel Tornilla's post: I have tried to always keep my layout simple and easy for the students. Many are first-time online learners and are just beginning to learn how to navigate the system. Consistency is important for all students.
The most important thing I've learn is the possibility of making a wide template and hide unnecessary learning objects
There is a balance between concept and date range when planning the divided material. There is a certian momentum that has to be maintained when delivering bite sized material over time. Some can be devided by time such as dates, while others on content. Knowing the material is key.
I was struck by that by using learning objects in online classes it allows our students to engage in chunking ideas together. Many of my students are not traditional aged students who fill multiple roles including student, parent, and worker. I believe my students need to see items in my online class that allow them to make meaning and put things in context, especially since they often have limited time.
It is important to design an online class so it is consistent from week to week (with the same font, length of videos, etc.)
