Course Design - Brief intro Organizing your course for your audience

This is a personal choice depending on your audience.

YOU...will need to assess your students/audience to decide if they are at

the comfort level to move quickly through an ONLINE Course.

If this is their first online course you really need a simple design. KEEP it

very easy to follow.

Course Design - Brief intro Options

Separate pages for each item or set of items.

Goals and objectives

Assignments

Discussion boards

Group work/collaboration activities

Assessments

Help section

Tools and resources or links

Or... some of these on separate pages

Or... depending on your audience... 1 page for all the materials... students

have to follow your course in a linear fashion. When would that be helpful?

Why?

There is no right or wrong answer here as long as you are serving your

customers in the best possible engaging learning environment. YOU know

your audience. That is what it is all about. However, be open to change. BE

flexible! That is what ONLINE instruction is all about.

The LOOK and Feel of your

courseMust meet the needs of your audience!

If possible, when ever you are dealing with students, if you can make the

course inviting to come to the course.

• Color

• images

• font choices

• styles

All make a huge difference in the design of the course.

LMS systems like BlackBoard...you are locked into some of these constraints that

you can’t change. So...again it depends on the course you are creating and where it

is being housed. Moodle courses can be like that also.

How to change my layout in a

wiki? How to change my layout in a wiki?

WikiSpaces will allow you to wrap text around materials and it

also allows for creative or use some formative styles in the settings

area of the page. See the tutorial help section for instructions.

PB Works is done a little harder with using TABLES and cells. See

the tutorial help section for instructions.

ENGAGING Activities in your

course What are you having your students do that get them involved in their

own learning?

Do you have activities that help them learn?

Do you have any group collaboration?

Sharing and discussions?

Web based activities that would help the students/audience synthesize their

learning. (i.e.: VoiceThread, Animoto, podcast, avatar, movie making video,

power point, Prezi, slideshow, etc.)

Your Lesson Plans

Each of you will be using the U of F lesson plan format.

This lesson plan format will need to be utilized for the lesson activities that you are

doing in your course.

Some of you will have difficulty with this since your course is more professional

development training. So, if you have issues with a particular section of the lesson

plan, please contact me.

Most of you can just add your lesson plan as an attachment file in your wiki to share

with me and the others viewing your course in this class.

However, emailing it to me is also an option in the draft stages too.

Appointments....
