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.
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 consistancy is what students like, it makes it eaiser for instructional guidance and student navigation through the online course.
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.
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.
Consistency is key! The more you can keep the same, the easier it is for you as the author and for your students.
Having uniform setup for additional consistency and establish automaticity.
I learned about learning-objects database and plan on utilizing that information.
I have learned that chunking information is the best way to hold a student’s attention. Breaking learning up can help them focus from beginning to end without losing attention and enthusiasm. Being consistent with content delivery sets expectations. I intend to design layouts of checklist for my students for each week so they can follow allow and complete at their pace.
I understand that the students (and professor) need to know exactly where and how to find each module, and understand what is available within that module. I also am fascinated to learn more about learning objects and how to develop my own.
I realize I need to focus on developing a course layout on day 1 showing the structure of each module/week.
So far I am pumped with this learning tool. I have learned to set short learning videos no more then 10 minutes. Students begin to loose interest and information is lost if learning videos are longer. I understand why my Institute has developed their learning plan in such a manner. How I can use this information? I can use these guidelines when developing my power points.
This is an excellent training module and I'm so glad to be here. I like how this module strongly encourages consistency in however we choose to organize the content in our online course. I also really like how this module explains how students rely on nonverbal cues to shape their expectations and it encourages them to complete the assignments. I also really like the chunking method. I have used this technique for many years in my online teaching experience. Chunking is very beneficial for student learning and it is a learning style that fits many type of online learners. Thank you for this helpful information.
I will apply this information in my classroom to by continuing to learn about different learning styles.
What i have learned is that we continue to see what works and what does not. Try to come up with a system that our students can do and yet succeed.
I learned that consistency is key and that it is important for each of the modules in the course to be similar. It is also important to chunk the information. If there is too much information, it needs to be broken down into smaller chunks.
Consider the modality effect.. I’m still trying to understand that.. consider you audience.. i think the modality is the different ways people learn. And to keep the modules the same.. across the board. Similar to avoid confusion
I liked the idea of putting a red box around important information and a blue box around information that will specifically be related to testing. Having that throughout my program will help students tremendously,
This reinforces the purpose for learning management organization to be consistent through the weeks.
