HI everyone - thanks to those who attended Tips & Tricks Ep 17: Reworking your Course. Recording is in the files area of this group (must be logged in to see), but key points are summarised below:
- First thing is to create logical groupings of content: the word week may not help students figure out where they need to navigate to. Use subject names and numbers to help them locate the content they need.
- Clear navigation & signposting: include learning objectives at the beginning of each unit/sub unit so students know what they are meant to be able to do by the end of it. If you're uploading lots of content, why not embed that as a quick link in a file so you can give learners some context around it i.e. read this and think about these 3 things whilst you do.
- Create activities to help activate that knowledge: weave these into the context of the content. Try adding in little packaged workflows like: lecture video (recorded), then some reading, discussion questions for the reading so the learner does some independent learning, then a survey so students can indicate to the instructor what concepts they struggled with/found most interesting, and then a virtual/face to face session.
If you enjoyed the session and want more like it, let me know in the comments area below, or just suggest a topic/theme you want instead!
