I feel that we have to design online courses with the students in center of our teaching goals, using different and moderns techniques of education.

Creating a new way of teachinga and understanding that time changes the expectation, the way and the logic of teaching is important.

Comment on DENEEN STOKES's post: I agree that the ease of navigating the course is important. Critical thinking and applying what students have learned is also helpful, especially if it can relate to real-world applications. 

Making the site easy to navigate reduces frustration for the student and instructor. Also creating case studies for student and instructor interaction and discussions validate the reading and comprehension of the material.

I learned that navigational simplicity of course content, intellectual interaction with teachers and students, and keeping students engaged are all important.

Multiple ways to engage the student. One cautionary note: we have moved to reduce the noise in our online courses. Students are weary of information bombardment.

This module was informative regarding the four major qualities that must be included in an online course. The qualities are structural integrity, navigational simplicity, active learner-centered learning, and intellectual interaction. If one of these qualities is missing then the course will lack integrity and student learning will be compromised.

I never thought of correspondence courses as being the forefather of online courses, but it makes sense.  I would never have received my Master's if it were not for an online program. I worked full-time, had young children and lived rurally. One drawback is you really have to set high standards for yourself because the professors really did not seem to expect much as far as academic integrity and practice.

The way the online program is presented to the online learner is critical.  Easy navogation and clear directions and septations need to be provided.

I've learned that it's important for students to be able to interact with their instructor and their peers.  We need to reach each type of learner in the area they best learn.

Hello everyone!

From this module, I’ve learned that quality online courses are built on four key pillars: structural integrity, ease of navigation, student-centered learning, and intellectual interaction.

These elements ensure that learning is engaging, accessible, and effective. I plan to apply this by designing online learning experiences that are clearly organized, interactive, and responsive to diverse learning styles.

Wishing you lots of success in the upcoming modules.

In order to engage the student instructors should have develop a structured  and prepare a classroom setting. In the classroom the module buttons are easily accessible and give access to the students to various categories of training from A toZ. Modules to each and everyone of the assignments are easily accessed notes to take place, calendrical organization assignments due dates discussion to be had as well as location buttons can be added to the interphase  through the front page buttons.

Providing multimedia components to the online platform that engages the learner utilizing several different modalities is essential.  Online learning is student centered, and it requires student engagement.

Its very important that know how to access all information thats needed for continual learning.

In this course,  I discovered that distance learning has undergone significant transformations over time. Effective online courses share key characteristics: they are well-structured, engaging, and prioritize both content delivery and student-centered learning. Regular feedback and assessments play a crucial role in evaluating knowledge retention, enabling instructors to refine their teaching strategies and support student success.

Online learning is successful because it offers a convenience for a learner with limited time and options, to pursue further education. However, in order to make it effective method of learning it has to offer multitudes of ways for it to be engaging for the learner and not be entirely based on the power point lecture format. it has to offer multimedia for the user to understand the course work based on an individual's capacity.

Online courses offer a wealth of learning opportunities and possibilities. The advantages of technological resources have facilitated the teaching-learnign process with instruments that encourage autonomy, responsability, the multiplicity of sources and means for learning, and the development fo a sense fo critical analysis, as well the joint generation of knowledge. In order to make the best use of theses resources, as a teacher I must design a course that contains an integral structure that helps the student to advance with an illation of topics and ideas; that the information is clear and has all the resources that best help him; that he develops learning capabilities in interaction with the resources and with his classmates, and that he assumes the responsability he has in his process.

In order to have a good successful online experience there are a few things that have to be done. Navigational simplicity, easily able to move throughout the course, interactive content, and active learner centered learning. 

Online courses are very effective for those who have to work at a 8 - 5 job.
