    This site reviews cloud storage. I'm interested in getting an ipad and I've been wondering about cloud storage.

    This site could be useful for students in a writing course. Students could keep track of story ideas and thoughts in the personal notebook. For collaborative groups there is a group notebook. Groups would have the opportunity to build off of the work of others.

mollie3-1: Lesson Planning: The Missing Link in e-Learning Course Design - 2 views

  • Lesson plans are merely templates that can guide the development of good e-Instruction, saving much time and effort by minimizing revisions and misunderstandings.

      As a teacher, I use lesson plans as a way to outline my instructional steps, so this helps connect what I do to the online environment design.
  • No matter how many examples of e-Learning courses my students review and critique, and no matter which text we use in class, many of the students’ initial attempts are sorely lacking when compared to the courses of more experienced designers. To put it simply, there is little or no instruction in the students’ e-Learning, and the “voice of the instructor”

      I find that I have to go over and over my online classes I create just to make sure I'm writing all the things I would say if I was teaching a face-to-face class.  I often times have my husband or others go in and read my descriptions and lessons to make sure it makes sense to s stranger. I think when we are creating online lessons, we can get too close to it to see what's missing.  It helps to have someone from the outside evaluate it for you. Mary Trent
  • Though developing a lesson plan for e-Learning is similar in many ways to developing a lesson plan for instructor-led learning, there are also differences. IDs need to remember that there is no instructor present in self-paced e-Learning, and simple as this sounds, it does take some getting used to. This concept is especially difficult to grasp for experienced stand-up trainers and facilitators who are new to designing instruction.

      When creating a lesson, you have to have opportunities for review as well as extension activities.  You also need to give students opportunities to get feedback from you along the way.  It needs to be more than just "Good job." I like to use Zoom or Adobe Connect to hold virtual classroom meetings to  answer questions and get to know my participants.  It has proven to be very valuable. Mary Trent

      Mary: I would agree providing opportunities to connect virtually for meetings or questions has been beneficial. I like the idea of having a time that students can talk with you in the off chance they have questions but need more individualized support and may not feel comfortable asking in a group meeting.

  • Detailed lesson plans help to ensure that there is adequate instruction — practice and feedback — for each learning objective.

      I think it is really important especially in online classes to stay in contact with your participants and give them quality feedback and aske probing questions. This helps to make connections and to develop the discussions.
  • The graduate students’ learning products are not just mere “page turners,” they are lacking both in interactivity to hold the learner’s interest and to ensure that learning occurs, and in sufficient information to guide the learner through the lesson or course. I spend a great deal of time asking students, “How would the learner know that?”
    • Nancy Peterman

      I definitely agree that most online courses are missing the interactivity to hold the learner's interest and clarity of instruction to help the learner know what is expected or the procedure to follow.
  • Comparative lesson plans help to ensure that self paced e-Learning includes the “voice of the instructor.”

      Lessons that contain the "voice of the instructor" are key to connecting with the learner. It is important to provide adequate information to answer questions before they are asked. It is also important to give your instructions "personality" so the learner does not feel alone.

      Nancy: I appreciate when examples are given by the instructor if there might be questions for clarification. The way Evan and Kristen have given an example in the forum eliminate questions that may have occurred.
  • And we assume that they know the limitations and possibilities of the course media. Detailed lesson plans are particularly useful for this last point. While we ask IDs to be creative in designing instruction, we also ask that they be cognizant of the appropriate use of media for instruction. Last, but not least, we also ask that they be mindful of the budget.

      I found the mention of being mindful of the budget something I had not considered while developing online lessons or courses. It seems easy to add media to a course without expense until you need to pay for cloud storage.
  • The point of the template is to force a comparison between the two instructional delivery modes, and to make the differences between them explicit to the ID.

      I think this helps a new teacher to think through the similarites and differences before teaching the course.
  • • Purpose — Why is it important? • How will it help them in the future?

      I like these questions! This is really great to remind us of the point of the lesson/learning!
  • Developing instruction at the learning objective level also helps IDs to chunk information
  • What do they need to know or do? How will they learn it? How will we and they know they know?

  • “R” in RID stands for “Rapid,” not “Rushed.”
  • An IDP may also include information about the technical requirements — both software and hardware — for taking the course.

      This is very important. I learned the hard way that you cannot assume participants have what is needed for system requirements. This was evident when teaching the integration of online resources course. I assumed teachers had been using the resources and were taking the class to further their individual learning. I found out most have not even logged in before and the baseline information needs to be provided in the welcome which includes: general login (username and password) along with detailed instructions for set-up of individual teacher accounts for development of unit portfolios. I find myself continually making revisions for ease of understanding and delivery.
  • Once the appropriate stakeholders approve the IDP, instructional designers start the storyboarding process. Designers (or their managers) often expect to move effortlessly between creating an IDP and developing storyboards from it.

      I can see the importance of storyboarding every possible item so that you can reduce or eliminate a rough beginning. This may result in working at the lowest level to be assured all participants are starting at the same point. An example: In the introduction there would be general login (username and password) along with teacher account set-up information. If the participant has completed this previously then the step can be bypassed.

      My example is in reference to the Online Resources course currently being offered.
  • Another convention in the example requires informing the learner of the approximate time it takes it complete the instruction.
    • Kathleen Goslinga

      The pacing chart has been very helpful especially when time can be a factor. The approximate time allowed at a quick glance to see what could be accomplished during that session. This is something I have started to develop for inclusion in my course to better inform students.

      This is a great point and one that I need to incorporate more often. I appreciate they way our instructors have modeled PoodLL and the forums.
