Teaching Online: A Student-Centered Approach -->  Authoring

Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.

I plan to practice using the existing formats and templates to become more proficient in accessing them independently, enabling me to assist my students in easily finding learning resources.

I learned that each module should be conistent in appearance and length of time to complete the work and activities. Videos or other visual material should be presented in small chunks of 5-10 minutes, rather than long presentations.

When developing future courses, I am better able to organize them into student-centered courses.

The most important thing I learned in consistency. I see how critical it is to keeping the template/format of my courses consistent week to week to allow for the easiest understanding for my students.

Accessibility, and consistency. Learning is not about surprises but making knowledge accessible and consistency helps develop  organizational skills

By creating a learning-objects database, one can build a library of information that can be utilized throughout the program to ensure that all courses can line up. I can also retrieve needed data to pass on to students in a quick efficient way. 

I learn a lot in this course. I learned that I prefer the date based module template the best. Great course!

Consistemcy and periodic revision of the material are very important.

 l learned about the different formats and templates and how the organization helps students with nonverbal cues.

Consistency is important as lessons and content is created

Creativity from the author will transpire into how the material is presented and received to keep learners engaged.

Consistency in module development is important.

Be consistent, but keep content up to date as well. Make sure you're looking for additional resources that may better help the learning environment.

Course consistency is key.

A central lesson of this module was the importance of consistency in the design of each module. I also liked the idea of building a learning-objects database.

Students are mostly tech knowledgeable, they likely overcome these barriers before me! Showing them navigation with clear expectations (objectives).

I learned how to make the course puzzle be easier and faster to learn. Course Modules can be organized in different ways and always there is a room for improvements. Learning objectives can be implemented by learning from different trusty sources and can gives the instructor the opportunities for development.  

 

A learning-objects database is a great idea. It is also a good idea to make sure that all instructors can contribute to it and access it. There is no need to reinvent the wheel if another instructor has already created something that works well in the course. 

Planning ahead and creating a course in a structured way helps students and teachers.
