Without structure, an online class will not be successful as students need to know what to accomplish in order to do well in the class. It should be the online class should be easy to navigate so that students can learn and complete all the requirements.
I was shocked by the percentage of schools that had all of their content online. I expected it to be higher than 6% given the increase in online learning platforms.
Quality education means an interactive and engaging approach that uses multiple methods to foster active learning between the instructor and the student.
Quality and online teaching including AI need organization and structure. Communication and easy navigation are key for distance learning and keeping students involved in the learning and interacting with each other
Definitivamente el aprendizaje de los alumnos se da en la interaccion que tiene con su tutor , el tutor orienta al desarrollo del pensamiento, motiva a prender y con su interaccion logra que el estudiante aprenda.
At this point in the course, I have the history of distance learning to be pretty interesting - similar to how long the ideas for wireless networking, cloud computing, etc. have been around. I long for the day when distance/online learning is seen as the standard rather than the alternative.
I did not realize that the first distance learning schools were founded way back in the 1700s. I really thought they were more around the 1900s.
I learned how much percent of public school offer online course , it seem to little just 6 percent
Aprendí que un curso en línea no es simplemente la digitalización de contenidos, sino que es el resultado de un diseño pedagógico intencional basado en cuatro pilares: integridad estructural, simplicidad de navegación, aprendizaje activo centrado en el estudiante e interacción. Lo aplicaré desarrollando un curso que se sustente en esos pilares y que mantenga motivados a los estudiantes.
Wow never new how long ago corresponding courses started
Quality online courses are clear, easy to navigate, and built in a way that keeps students engaged without overwhelming them.
On line learning has been more prelevant over the years and I did not know that students used to perform studies via the mail system with an instructor
Using activities and various content delivery types to engage the learner and increase their involvement.
This module was very interesting. The most surprising fact to me was learning that distance education has existed since the 1700s. I found this mind-blowing because I had always thought of distance learning as a modern concept. It is exciting to see how far the technology has evolved and how it now allows us to deliver richer, more accessible learning experiences to students.
Distance education has been around for years. Gradually developing new ways to teach information to our students
One take-a-way is to ensure there are various levels and types of interaction opportunities for students.
I found the statistics of schools offering online education to be interesting. The module also summarized components of learner-centered course design and intellectual interaction.
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
The learning method pyramid was helpful. It lets me know the best method to introduce, reinforce, and practice new concepts.
