Course consistancy is important. It is also important to make sure that each module takes approximately the same amounto of time time complete.
After doing online course the following statement holds true:
The course-module template is a cyclical and ongoing process. It must occur more than once to identify areas in which students may have difficulty or to ensure content, graphics, etc. are properly placed to enhance student learning.
Maintaining a consistent framework for each course makes it easier for the students to navigate the course, as well as stay on task.
There are times when the instructor can allow studentss to share their work experience with the class to give support to the others.
I discovered that module consistency is of vital importance.
Allowing students to participate and sharing their reflection allows mmatter.e to see how much they understood from the subject matter.
Student's learning isimperative. Therefore the instructor should ensure that students participate in the discussion.
I have learnnt that the couirse module templates is a cyclical and ongoing process which should b e repeated. Repition enable students to do better with their comprehension.
We are using this template now, but just needs to be used consistanlty by all the instructors using it.
Make sure you plans have a rhyme to the reason. Your district or someone else may have valuable options to bolster you online teaching. Don’t feel you have to do everything yourself.
I have learned the improtance of consistency not only of style and format, but of workload each module delivers. For the sake of the students in my courses, I will be working on this type of pacing so not to surprise anyone with overwhelming amounts of work as they move from module to module.
I'm also now planning on buiding a library of learning objects that I can use in various related courses I teach.
Consistency in template is critical to consistency in learning.
Consistency for the sake of the students, and ultimately ourselves, is very important. And the reminder that fonts and formats should be used appropriately.
I have learned how to effectively approach online teaching from a student centered forcus. I better understand this plateform should be consistant, utilizing colors to symbolize a specific forcus in the learning. The layout should be consistant, each module having a discussion board, assignment, assessment, etc. I also learned to too much of a good thing is not good, for example, video shoukd be used only when needed and should not be too long (no longer than 5-10 minutes) due to student tend to loose focus. I also better understant that content can be in many form and should be conducive to all learning style. Most important about content that it should met learning objective of course.
I also learn that navigaion is of each module should be relatively easy. The content should make sense to the student and enhance learning. I learned that creating a learning object database will make it easy for myself as Instructor to access needed learning tools to place in module. the object database is needed when the information will be used more then once in the course. The objective database can be shared between instuctors. I learn that object database my be created, maybe provided by the school, may come will course books and can come from social media.
I plan to utilize what I have learned for my online class. In Respiratory Therapy, we are going to a blended learning platform. This will help me to ensure that our modules are student centered. I will beable to look at each module to ensure consistancy and learning objectives are being met.
I plan to incorporate/use more videos to explain complex concepts. The key will be to utilize videos that are the proper length as to not lose the audience.
Learning objects may be developed by the institution, but are also available as add-on components to most e-texts. Students benefit greatly within an online learning environment when consistency is imparted.
Ease of navigation and consistency enhances learning.
The creation and testing process is a cyclical and ongoing process.
consistency in many forms is the key to success. consistency can be accomplished in many ways.
Beign consistant with building modules. Keeping modules in the same format. Testing the module before studente use the module
