  • ORIENT: Find out where stuff is. Then remember where it is. DECLARE: Set up a place to record and share your thoughts. NETWORK: Follow others;  interact with them. CLUSTER: Once you’ve gotten your feet wet, get together with people who share your interests. FOCUS: “Halfway through,” Cormier says, “your mind starts to wander.” So have a way to apply what you’ve been learning.

  • In addition to using a variety of types of assignments to address different learning styles, Frisch strives for variety in presentation of course content, including videos of her interviews with experts in the communications field. “The students love that. When they can hear my voice asking the questions or see me in the video, it’s one degree of separation. … I
  • The interviews give a variety of perspectives
  • Classmate questions. In each course, Frisch has her students post questions and answers to nonacademic questions. The following are examples: If you could change one thing about the way society is today, what would it be and why? If you could meet one fictional character, who would it be and why? These questions build community and may help deepen the content-related discussions that occur throughout the course, Frisch says.

MOOC course design pitfalls

shared by Patrice Prusko on 04 Oct 13 - No Cached
  • Reading your course material on a computer screen does not make for a memorable learning experience
  • Start by thinking about the kinds of learning experiences you want to create rather than letting the CMS define a more limited view of putting your course online.
  • In the old model of education, the instructor stood on the podium and served as the students’ revered and primary access point to the desired knowledge. Today, your students may be Googling your lecture topic while you speak and finding three sources that update or improve upon your presentation.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • content curato
  • . Your course should be a place where students come to participate in the connections that can be made between your subject and the outside world. Build these bridges into your online course materials, and become a facilitator of these important connections.
  • The interactivity and interconnectedness of computers provides increased opportunity for students to actively participate in their learning rather than passively consuming what you feed them.
  • peppering your online content with quick test-your-comprehension questions or developing exercises that ask students to generate data, capture and upload photos of evidence, research connections to real-world conditions, or create explanatory slideshows.
  • t. Consider creating wiki spaces in which groups of students can work together. Include assignments that require students to share ideas and resources, present topics to each other, and critique each other’s work. Use online communication tools and collaborative spaces to foster a class-wide web of supportive contact rather than settling into multiple parallel channels between you and each student.

  • including them in my Accredible portfolio provides additional (and non-typical) evidence demonstrating that I have taken and understood material in a course enough to reflect on what I’ve learned. 
  • So each of my slates includes material designed to demonstrate that I’ve completed a class successfully from start to finish.
  • With regard to structure and arrangement, a portfolio must fulfill a goal and tell a story – ideally in a consistent manner so that readers will know where to find things as they move from course to course
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • a portfolio should primarily focus on a student’s own work with generic course information just used to demonstrate the depth and robustness of a class.
