Applying the concepts in the course as the bare minimum to course design should provide a basically acceptable level of instruction.

Famous director Mike Nichols realized only in his 80s that the focus indirecting should be on "the string more than the pearls" He meant that the structure must have integrity in order for any inspired moments to occur. This lesson is reinforced for me as I reflect on how well detailed and considered ISD is and so how well worth adhering to it will be. 

This class has given me a lot to consider, however there doesn't seem to be any software yet available to support my program (cosmetology). I will continue to research for VR, AR, and MR tools that I can use to enhance my instruction. 

This course was excellent learning experience!

Throughout the course, I was consistently reminded of the importance of Learning Activities, Course Components, and Media Strategies.  Each item contributes to desired course outcomes.  As I continually evaluate course curricula, I will reflect on these learning activities and apply them. I will, definitely, work to bring multimedia into the online classroom.

I plan to apply the knowledge gained in this course in acquiring additional computer skills to improve the instructional integrity of the courses I will be managing. Also, the reinforcement of the challenge that learners who are less computer savvy may have in an online environment is making me rethink deadlines for online assessments. 

Very interesting data.  I hope to incorporate this into my classrooms soon.

good learning tool

This course was a basic course in understanding the online classroom and should be essential in the hiring phase for online instructors.  It is very helpful if you haven't been involved in creating an online classroom!

I found that by incorporating social networking techniques and using Blogs are a helpful tool to use with students. They allow for student engagement in the course material, as well as promoting a deeper discussion of ideas and problems.

I love the idea of incorporating virtual reality simulations in online classrooms. It involves a lot of activities simultaneously and provides for continuous assessments. I would need more help in incorporating this in the classroom.

After reviewing the quest content, I will be looking at in viewing the impact of discussion questions. I will be adding depth and information to the classes that I teach. Additionally, I will be looking for Interactive reinforcement material to present via announcement or weekly discussion. I will be providing additional materials based on what I see as the needs of the group as we develop the outcomes for a class. I will attempt to see what arrangements for a synchronous meeting for a classroom. These will be my initial steps before review and reassessment. 

While the level of course that I normally teach does not include quizzes although this used to be part of something called Toolwire., I find that asking questions and getting participation in the discussion area serves a similar function. For English 240 I do not have required testing. But there is always feedback and the stressing and discussion questions that this is leading to expectations and goals of a paper that we do.

This module was scary and very enlightening. I did not realize that both the school and instructors can be sued regarding copyright material.

There is so much involved when it comes to copyrights.

Everyone involved in education should take this class.

I allow the students to debate a topic. I assign half the class the pro aspect and half the class the con aspect of whatever topic I choose. Though they do not agree with the aspect they are assigned, the discussion is very lively and allows the students to see another perspective.

My action plan is to use the information I learned to apply in my online classroom.  It is important to incorporate the use of technology in the online environemnt.

This course helps tremendously for barriers that may arise in online learning and teaching.

I feel this course had a lot of relevant information for online communication.  It is very helpful in reminding me to read everything I write before I post or send it.  It also helps when one is looking to implement a policy at their institution.

I try to think of new and innovative ways to motivate my online students. Giving extra credit, having some additional course work, optional vs mandatory. My dilemma is that some students may feel it is unfair and subjective. Any hints on how to show consistency and fairness when granting additional points?

Hello,

I normally do not incorporate hyperlinks in my course content. After completing this learning activity it seems like it would be a very good option form my students to retrieve their supplementary reading materials instead of uploading them in the Doc Sharing blog.  I also love the fact that I can have a guest lecturer in the course by circulating a print-based version of what the lecturer would have said. The best part is that I can have the student email their questions to the guest. I love that idea.
