Good points in this section. I think discussions are the key to engaging online classes.
This helped to understand how to organize and set up the course.
Really, i think that assesment is so important and be offective is the key.
I have learned that peer feedback helps those evaluated to better retain the knowledge gained from the instructional material. The students learn how to evaluate as well as receive evaluations from their peers.
Written assignments can be in the form of short essays,on line discussions,discussion boards(Asynchronous),Concept maps,Presentations and taking Quizzez and exams.
ELearning requieres, design, developement, content and knoeledge
Great explanation of ISD cycle
Instructors need to connect the course materials and activities with meaningful, desired course outcomes. Everything needs to have a purpose.
Learning online requires the development of creative materials. In addition using tools in the discussion board, assignment, etc. can create an interactive and innovative environment.
Plan to use techology for a better outcome in the learning environment. It also keeps the student engaged in the assignments
Very helpful and a good reminder that using media, u tube video's and encouraging peer to peer interaction will improve the outcome for the students in the on line environment. Setting up successful strategies for learning will keep the students more engaged
Self assessment as well as community discussions among group of students with discussion posts are important for students to gauge their level of understanding, and compare their thought process to others in order to get help and assist others.
Instructors need to accurately communicate to students, using detailed rubrics outlining how they will be evaluated, so students will have a clear understanding of what the expectations are for their performance.
I learned how important it is to use a design that will actively engage students.
This helped to frame a process for creating an e-learning course. I am working on cleaning up a course that was hastily put online but will likely have e-learning aspects in the future.
Graphics reinforce the saying that “a picture is worth a thousand words.” Graphics can become visual mnemonics, increasing the retention of content while increasing student focus on what is being taught.
This session was helpful for understanding ISD and the steps for implementation. The discussion of media strategies was useful and I will directly apply them in my course presentations.
ISD model: analysis, design, development, evaluation is a perfect guide how to create an online class.
Instructional System Design (ISD) is designed to produce effective courses for learners. Applying the steps of Analysis, Design, Development, and Evaluation result in a well-thought-out plan of instruction. Media Strategies, Student Participation, evaluation all create a positive learning environment,
Instructional design and components is what makes online learning successful.
