Lesson: Articles on Visual Design - 5 views

  • A successful visual design does not take away from the content on the page or function.  Instead, it enhances it by engaging users and helping to build trust and interest in the brand.
    • Nancy Peterman
      Nancy Peterman on 09 Dec 14
       
      This statement was important to me because I want to make the page interesting but need to be selective to ensure the element enhances rather than "decorates".
  • White space is used around text and between sections to allow the page to breath
    • Nancy Peterman
      Nancy Peterman on 09 Dec 14
       
      I believe white space will be important to my Softchalk lessons to engage learners. If I have too much text, the reader may feel overwhelmed or disinterested. I need to hightlight my text by using white space as an element of design.
  • When navigating a good design, the user should be led around the screen by the designer. I call this precedence, and it's about how much visual weight different parts of your design have.
    • Nancy Peterman

      This article reminded me to lead the reader through each of the important points of the web page. It mentioned using images to bring the reader to an important statement or paragraph. Use of shapes or arrows are obvious but also useful in directing the reader while adding interest.

  • List out the different types of tasks people might do on a site, how they will achieve them, and how easy you want to make it for them. This might mean having really common tasks on your homepage (e.g. 'start shopping', 'learn about what we do,' etc.) or it might mean ensuring something like having a search box always easily accessible.
    • Nancy Peterman
      Nancy Peterman on 09 Dec 14
       
      This statement seems pretty basic, but I think it is important to help reduce reader stress. If I provide instructions for the beginner, they may become engaged and explore longer than expected.
  • The more options a user has when using your website, the more difficult it will be to use (or won’t be used at all). So in order to provide a more enjoyable experience, we need to eliminate choices.
    • Nancy Peterman
      Nancy Peterman on 09 Dec 14
       
      This statement spoke about providing too much choice. I think it also applies to find text about the subject, so I think providing an easy to see and use filter or search box is important. I think about my lessons and if students want to review a specific part of the lesson, I want to make it easy for them to find it.
  • Instead users satisfice; they choose the first reasonable option.
    • Nancy Peterman
      Nancy Peterman on 09 Dec 14
       
      I think it is important for me to remember that my audience may scan for reasonable options or things that will help with an assignment, rather than click on each link in order that it is listed.
  • the web-page should be obvious and self-explanatory. When you’re creating a site, your job is to get rid of the question marks
    • Nancy Peterman
      Nancy Peterman on 09 Dec 14
       
      I think it is important that a web page and a lesson is obvious and self-explanatory. If a student has a question, they are may not be willing to wait for an instructor's reply. The student has now lost some of their motivation and engagement in the lesson.

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.
    • Nancy Peterman
      Nancy Peterman on 21 Nov 14
       
      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.
  • 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
      Nancy Peterman on 24 Nov 14
       
      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.”
    • Nancy Peterman
      Nancy Peterman on 24 Nov 14
       
      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.

  • 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.
    • Nancy Peterman
      Nancy Peterman on 24 Nov 14
       
      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.

  • Assists students with technology used in the course
    • Nancy Peterman

      It is important that students develop the skills but also make a connection of when, why or how they can use the technology.

ollie4: Article: Attributes from Effective Formative Assessment (CCSSO) - 14 views

  • determine how formative assessment may best be used by the nation’s educators.
    • Nancy Peterman
      Nancy Peterman on 15 Oct 11
       
      This states "best used by" tells me that it should be a useful tool that reduces the daily tasks of the classroom teacher and not documentation tasks that sit on the bookshelf.

  • assess outcomes in learning situations that require critical thinking and are multidimensional
    • Nancy Peterman
      Nancy Peterman on 07 Oct 11
       
      Activities that stretch student learning into the higher order thinking and measure more than their ability to recite facts and dates.
  • they should articulate the vital features that they are looking for and make these features known to the student
    • Nancy Peterman
      Nancy Peterman on 07 Oct 11
       
      By being specific on the expectations of a project, students can take ownership, be creative, and produce quality items. This provides a "pro" because the students are actively engaged.
  • Clearly defining the purpose of assessment and what you want to assess is the first step in developing a quality rubric.
    • Nancy Peterman
      Nancy Peterman on 07 Oct 11
       
      The important point is not the assessment tool itself, but that it is a "quality" tool used to measure multiple pieces.

  • What information do the decision makers need
    • Nancy Peterman
      Nancy Peterman on 02 Oct 11
       
      This paragraph makes a distinction between decision makers that we might forget when edited our assessments. There is a definite difference in level and approach between classroom and school or community assessments.
  • use of clear curriculum maps for each standard
    • Nancy Peterman
      Nancy Peterman on 02 Oct 11
       
      Although time consuming, the importance of curriculum maps becomes clear when writing essential questions and revisiting the teaching strategies we use to improve student learning.
