Consistency, organization and chunking of information is how I used to learn myself, and to be able to practice this as an instructor will make it easier for students as well.
I agree with the fact that consistency is an important aspect of course development. I have been in courses within a program that were not consistent in instructions or due dates and it was very confusing as a student.
I learned the importance of module consistency to ensure the learner is staying engaged. It is important to keep the lessons and assignments close to the same amount of time.
Consisent placement of categories,by utilizing templates. Students are then able to locate things easier and become more comfortable utilizing the technology.
Testing templates is important during the development process. It is also good to note which aspects of the template best contribute to the learning process and which aspects may not lend much value or may even be confusing. In this way, the course can be continually improved.
The instructor does not have to develop the learning objects, but it will be helpful to know what to expect prior to teaching.
I learned that consistancy is the key to learning when applied to modules. All modules must have similar layout to avoid confusion and maximize learning.
Consistency is key to creating a learning environment that students and faculty can follow.
Make sure if it makes sene to the student. The content is scaffold. There has to be consistency.
Consistency is key! Without it, student can get lost in a maze of course, and academic, information.
I learned that some of the concern is for the students to make it as easy for them as possible to learn the most amoutn of information. But its also important to follow these methods for the teacher as it will make it easier for him in future courses (for example storing materials properly).
I learned about how a learning objects repository can assist with ensuring consistency throughout online modules
There was a lot that I have learned in this module, but the two things that I have learned in the module that I did not know was, modality effect and instructional scaffolding. The way that I can use both of these things that I have learn in this module is, when I am developing a course framework I not only need to be consistent but as well I need to take into consideration that there will be students from all different backgrounds reading this material, I will need to put myself in the students shoes and ask myself if I was a student that did not know any of this would this be something that I can read and would be able to grasp it in a way that I could apply this. As well I would have someone proof read it and help give me feedback so that I could make changes and continuously improve the continent.
I learned a lot about online learning and presentation
You must take students' learning styles into consideration when considering content delivery.
It is important to have proper alignment between curse goals, tasks, and learning tasks. to ensure that everyone involved is aware of the expectations. Both instructors and students should have a consistent understanding of what is going to be taught and how it will be evaluated.
Consistency amongst course templates seems to be the most important factor in ensuring that students do not become confused by inconsistent formatting, language, or placement of learning objects within the course.
I learn to practice consistency across all modules. This way, students will be familiar with the content workflow and get accustomed to receiving information in a particular way which will allow students to be confident with the interaction and learning material.
Consistency is key. You want your students to be familiar with your modules, assessments and quizzes. This will help them feel more confident in completing the course.
I have "chunked" learning objects to make is easier for students to follow along and give the students a feeling of accomplishment in completing several smaller objects vs. trying to complete a larger object.
