Learning modules need to be consistent in size and language usage among other considerations. Develop these with the student's learning needs in mind.
Consistency is key to activating a familiarity that aids in students learning. Having a diversity of access to the information to cater to different learning styles within the consistent module layout also boosts learning.
Proper planning of the course framework will support course learning objectives and provide a better learning environment. It's an ongoing process that needs to be relied on in order to maintain high quality instruction in an online learning environment and also can be used to organize materials for efficient instruction in the future.
In this module, the focus was development and consistency of resources. A single database (repository) should be created to save different course resources like videos, graphs, complementary articles, etc., in order for easy and convenient access to use for future courses. Also, in developing the course and modules, there should be a consistent theme used throughout to include wording, fonts, graphics, etc. as not to confuse the students but rather enhance their learning.
A database of learning materials may be used in more than one course if the objectives are congruent.
I never really thought about keeping a learning objects database to store content to reuse later. That is a very interesting idea to consider.
That it is important to keep each module the same length, make sure it stays consistent and make sure the appearance of each module is the same.
Consistency in presentation of the course will help students feel comfortable navigating. It can also make the grading and analyzing easier for the instructor as well.
I use a course framework to navigate my students through the semesters material. Each module builds upon the last.
When it comes to course content, it's essential that instructors carefully plan and ensure that the content supports the course learning objectives. One way to achieve this is to identify areas where students are having difficulties or to ensure that the course content and graphics are correctly placed to enhance student learning and success. Moreover, instructors should maintain a database that includes relevant items that can be quickly found, sorted, located, and uploaded across multiple courses.
I learned the importance of consistency and plan on implementing it in any course I instruct.
Students need consistency from module to module so they can spend their time learning the content as compared to figuring out where everything is or how to do a similar assignment.
Consistent and intentionality is important in developing student learning. Using additional resources to ensure the growth of knowledge in a methodological manner.
I learned about how important it is to use a similar format for all content being taught so that the presentation flows and is easy to follow.
The most important is to create a good base framework for the course, which meets 3 requirements: content, evaluation, sequence and design, in relation to the diversity of students and learning objectives. I feel calmer knowing that "take your time" to develop the base model, which I will be able to repeat later, "it's not a waste of time", it's a gain!!!
I've learnt about the importance of being consistent when creating the course templates and modules.
Visual appeal and consistency is important for easy navigation and decreasing student anxiety.
Being consistent on the learning materials in modules is important for students. This helps student understand how to navigate the module and find the information within all modules.
I realized the importance of keeping material consistent and organized. It's important for the students to feel they can they are comfortable in an online learning environment.
Creating a module template is not only easier for me, but makes each module more assessable for the students. making each module similar lengths with a similar voice will also make it more assessable. Learning objects may be stored to reuse throughout the course.
