Hello Nancy,
I, too, have had that same complaint from several of my students. It seems that students gravitate more to the Asynchronous aspect for learning these days. I believe that they like the convenience of being able to participate at any given time within the timeframe of the course due dates.
Using a variety of content in online learning helps keep students interested and considers students who may learn differently.
I will incorporate all into my courses: text, audio, animation, graphics, video, artwork and photographs
Whether online or in person, when the student can apply the course material to real world settings- it increases the value of the content.
I will incorporate assignments that have students interacting with the real world and using their material as a guide.
It is important to create content that also allows the students to complete things at their own pace (asynchronous), as well as synchronous activities that keep the students on track and actively engaged.
I will keep this in mind as I try to create a variety of different assignments
Quality online course are characterized by:
Structural integrity Navigational Simplicity Active Learner-Centered Learning Intellectual Interaction
I plan to incorporate this by making sure my online lectures and platform design follow this checklist
By integrating ISD with media strategies, I have learned to develop online content that is both clear and engaging.
It was nice to learn the benefits of each component.
Copyright law can apply to various things.
Asking a series of open-ended questions, just as Socrates did, seemed to be a great way to promote class participation and learning. A live asynchronous Zoom meeting could be beneficial by giving students more time to ask questions between assignments, thereby gaining a better understanding of the subject being taught.
The learning method pyramid was helpful. It lets me know the best method to introduce, reinforce, and practice new concepts.
