It is essential to provide consistency when posting templates and online content for students. Consistency leads to ease of use and decrease fustration for students when they are navigating the online course.
Being consistent is crucial to online learning. It is beneficial to the student and teacher.
Having a consistant format with a standard time frame for each module is important to keep students working on the content. 10 -15 minute long modules is a good time frame to keep student interest.
Consistency with the development of the Module(s) will make it easier for students to interact, respond and stay focused on the objectives. Also, that when doing videos, allow 10-15 minutes to hold their interest in the topic.
Use the same learning objects. Video or audio should not be the primary or only way to communicate information to the students. Create a database of learning objects and be sure to share with other instructors. Don't make one module longer than the other; split up into 2 different modules.
Lots of tips such as font size, video length, and CONSISTANCY.
What have you learned from this module and how do you intend to apply it?
I think i learned more about the importance of having consistency on your online course site. It makes me want to look at what i am doing on my school Canvas page and make it more consistent for my students.
The instructor does not always have to develop the learning objects. This is the best piece of advise, since we are natural researchers, when we look for content that is already created, we have the possibility of refreshing a previous knowledge or debate a wrong given information and even better, learning new approaches.
It is important that the student experience is very similar and predicatable among all your courses.
I learned a variety of ways to create, test, and revise a course module and the important things that are needed to make it successful. I'll make sure to have my friend test the module and give me feedback, as she already teaches an on line course and has knowledge in this area.
The most important things That I learned from this Module is that you have to be consistent when you develop the modules, that they have to be consice and similars to each others
I’ve learned module consistency is the most important thing make it easier for the students to understand.
Be selective with videos and only use them to support a topic.
I had no idea there was such a thing as TeacherTube and SchoolTube. I intend to research these.
I plan to practice using the existing formats and templates, to develop automaticity in accessing them myself, so that I can help my students locate learning objects easily.
I learned about discussion board in LMS.So that students can interact with each other.
I believe one of the important aspects of authoring is the communication with the target audience. One disadvantage of online learning is the limited feedback from the audience especially from an engagement perspective. That's one of the reason why the way the study material / class content is prepared needs to be properly managed. This means for the most part, consistency across the board.
Course consistancy. Understanding of non-verbal cues and expectations for learning.
