:star:Exellence in web-based teaching:star:
The online classes as medium for itself
People work
alone
, in their own pace
Materials are prepared
before
starting a course
Very
lengthy
lessons don't work in web-base teaching :!:
In the online world content is a verb
Just
content
is not enough :warning:
To master is to
immerse
ourselves into the topic
A teacher is a
designer
of student learning experiences
Technology is a vehicle, not a destination.
:car:
Don't
use methods that worked back in the days :timer_clock:
Technological components m
ust be used
in a proper way - to
meet
the learning objectives
:no_entry:
Don't
mark technology as your objective, make technology your
tool
Great online courses are defined by teaching, not technology.
First, prepare your
objectives
, then decide which
tools
to use. :warning:
Technological tools mean
nothing
without a good
teacher
:male-technologist:
Sense of community and social presence are essential to online excellence.
:red_cross:Students
can't
be left alone with the whole content - they
must
have someone to ask or just to talk a content through :check:
Having a sense of community is beneficial for complete understanding of the topic
It is crucial to
create
a sense of community so people feel equal and can be motivated by each other :silhouettes:
Sometimes the little extras go a long way
:
Exemplars
of assignments (or similar ones) can help students in
understanding
the topic
Short personal emails can build-up students'
attitude
:pencil2:
Also, calendar reminders may
reduce
stress level :calendar:
Audio clips are a way to
connect
with your students, since the voice is one of your the most important
tools
And it helps students that find it easier to
remember
something by
listening
:check: :loud_sound:
The same goes with video clips, but with visual aspect :check:
Excellence requires multiple areas of expertise.
A teacher
must
have a lot of
knowledge
in almost every aspect of online course-making :book:
BUT
, course will be better-prepared if a team works on it (every aspect assigned to one person)
Exellence is not just making content, online course must be well prepared
A great web interface will not save a poor course; but a poor web interface will destroy a potentially great course.
Students
must
have some sort of
guidance
that will inform them what to do, what are the assignments and their deadlines and what resources to use :!:
Such guidance
must
be
well
developed
If not, students will be
lost
:red_flag:
Excellence comes from ongoing assessment and refinement
To achieve
excellence
in web-based teaching, constant
improvement
of our course is needed
Evaluation of
"excellence level"
can be provided by feedback :silhouettes:
Whereas feedback can be found on forums, feedback assignments etc. :speaking_head_in_silhouette:
It should cover at least two areas:
course
effectiveness
and
course efficiency
