I learned the principles of a course framework and module templates, and how they support consistency and help to guide learning objectives. I plan to implement these by structuring my course with weekly modules that contain chunked, multimodal content.
I have learned about the importance of creating a database and how this database can save time.
The concept of a repository of materials is a great idea and would save time. I have a small Google Drive based group of materials but most of these items come from the course reference materials.

I learned that having a well-organized syllabus with modules of equal length greatly helps students navigate an online course more easily and successfully. When the course is structured consistently, students can manage their time effectively, anticipate workload, and focus on learning rather than trying to figure out the organization of the material. This clarity not only supports student engagement but also promotes a smoother progression through the course content, leading to better overall outcomes.
Chunking information is important for students to be able to retain information.
