I have learned about keeping consistency which helps students feel less anxious. Also, chunking of the content and course objects is important, along with keeping videos short (less than 5-10 mins). This is important in this digital-social media driven age where students can lose focus real quick.
I am still cogitating on the material with regards to planning how to implement it within my courses. :)
Hello everyone,
Being consistent when creating a module will alleviate any confusion or anxiety from a student.
Importance of being concise and well organized. Have a well planned course designed before starting the development process.
I have learned the importance of being concise, well organized and to have the course well planned before starting the process.
Plan to incorporate a learning-object database to quicker access to files and move more efficiently for all students.
Discussion boards have a valuable component to online learning.
Creating a database with course documents will help to save time. I started doing this on my laptop and on the Canvas platform, and it truly helps me to share files and resources with students easily.
It's a good idea to create a learning objects database. That way, I can recycle items.
I learned that maintaining a Learning Objects database saves time, as the course developer can quickly sort, locate, and upload desired components.
The course framework is the initial communication allowing the student to see the big picture. The course framework should be created using a module template. The module template should be revisited and tested often by a resource other than the developer or by a person without 'expectations' of the course.
Consistency is key! I like to use Heading Styles, bold important information, and a consistent look and feel with each module. Including visuals is helpful as well.
Consistency in developing and following templates is critical. Making sure the students are familiar with the instructional format and knows how to navigate all the components is also essential for effective learning.
Working with students in chunking data is valuable. I also like the consistency of courses.
A Learning-Objects Database is more than just managing resources—it brings collaboration, personalization, and adaptability to our education. With data-driven insights, it helps us make informed decisions, improves accessibility, and saves costs. Investing in this database is a big step towards a better, more collaborative, and inclusive education.

Using the database saves time when developing a course. I currently use this at my institutions. You can quickly sort, locate, and upload desired components to use in multiple courses.
I think the most important thing will be consistency amongst modukes
Planning, expecting non-verbal cues, presentation using scaffolding, and font size are important for students.
