I learned the importance of consistancy when it comes to creating an online format. This helps students find learning objects easily. Also, teachers can use outside resources to help develop the learning objects.
I plan to be consistent in the presentation of my modules to not confuse the learner.
Module consistency is key.
I like the reinfocement of the chunking concept. I had read about it before and needed to be reminded.
I did notice the reference to flash which can be a problem.. Much of the authoring software uses other types of output.
i learned that it is important to maintain consistency so students can use the "cueing" to know what to expect.
I learned that module work is an organized way for both students and teachers to apply work. The database is an excellent way to collect and store pertinant information.
Learning objects is a new term for me. I want to be able to talk about scaffolding, chunking and identifying learning objects in terms of online teaching going forward.
I have learned how important it is to organize the modules in the same way and to use the same systems throughour the modules. Making everything flow for students is helpful for learning.
Similar to coaching sports, being consistent in our expectations and goals is the key.
Being the same in and out of the coarse makes it easier for students to complete the class.
Consistentency in developing templates as well as tes the templates.
Keeping courses structured and uniform will contribute to student sucesss. Students will become more confident and less frustrated when accessing course material.
Consistency is key. While not every module has to be exactly the same, they should all be similar in length, font size, words, shapes and colors. Other modalities should be incorporated when possible to enhance the course content and reach all styles of learning. Creating a respository is something I plan to use in the near future with a catalog of file names for easier access.
Using consistent nomenclature, i.e., learing objects, in identifying resources for use and reuse may help students locate and use said objects.
I learned the importance of creating and testing a course module.
It's good to know the uniform presentation of material through text.
Students rely on consistency of templates to guide their learning. It helps them to learn where to find information and identify what is important. Learning objectives should be chunked into 15 minute intervals for ease of learning. Information should be stored in data bases for easy cross referencing.
I have learned that the layout and design of each module should be consistant. Also that it will be very beneficial to me as the instructor to develop a database of my resources so that I can quickly locate and reuse as needed.
The main points of this module is to be consistent with the format and instructions and chunk material. Too long of a video or information can cause students to loose interest.
Consistency and quality are the keys to successful on line class
