Got Time? A Time Management Strategy for Online Instructors | Online Learning Insights - 3 views

      This seems to be common. It's like that old line, "Besides that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?" Not counting one year's prep time seems to be cheating in many ways.

      There is a lot of disagreement in the literature about whether online teaching takes more or less time. Some studies, such as this one, say it takes less. Some say it takes a lot more. Some claim no difference. The study that we read for M2 (Van de Vord & Pogue) reviewed the range of these. (Their study was a disaster in my humble opinion, by the way.) My impression is that the methodologies are very poor and that the controversy will continue until methodological issues are ironed out.

  • yet the consensus among the research suggests that teaching online involves less of a time commitment from the course instructor than does a face-to-face class
  • did not include curriculum development time, set-up or development of course home page,
  • A time management strategy that considers the factors and nuances of teaching online should include, a time blocking strategy, communicating frequently with students collectively in anticipation of potential questions, involving students in peer reviews and discussions, and creating an efficient grading strategy.

    I found this article to be very helpful in providing a sense that it will be possible to control time use when teaching on line. It gives great tips on how to overcome the feeling that online teaching will be a 24/7 class rather than one that meets TTh 10-11:15 in White Hall 208! I like this one a lot.

MERLOT blog - 0 views

  •  
    MERLOT is a CoI revolving around technology and learning objects. It is a repository of learning objects that can be accessed and used. The objects are grouped according to subject / content, and they are peer-reviewed. This is an excellent resource with something for everyone. (My personal favorite object - the "eye simulator," which demonstrates the actions of the 6 extrinsic muscles of the eye and lets you "paralyze" muscles specifically to examine the effect on eye movement - completely cool!) There is also a wealth of other information on their site (sorry - within their community :) Best of all - all the resources at MERLOT are free.

Reducing the Online Instructor's Workload - 2 views

    Brief article by online instructor sharing tips on managing online courses. Two tips I think would be especially useful include: 1) using a "What's New" section for adding content so students can find it easily and 2) for large classes to keep personalized grading assignments and high tech features to a minimum.

    Kristy, thanks for this good resource, I think that author has several good points. There are ways to think about the "What's New" area. There is a module page within the site that can be used, I've added one in our class, just so you can see. Learners can also use the Global Navigation at the top right of the Bb site to see all (or to filter specific courses) of all new and up-to-date happenings. There are definitely strategies of workload management including team and peer-review assignments. You can also have student-led discussions. Large online classes are there own beast - and I think SON is facing it. I believe that we can come up with some solid solutions that still meet the instructional goals without burning out the faculty.
