Editor's Notes
- #2 Hello & Welcome to our presentation of Elements of Online Curriculum & programs… What Can Go Wrong This Presentation is designed to help your Government educational departments transition with the help of 2 Professionals! A group project for Webster University’s EDTC 5840 Designing an online Curriculum coursework. Click
- #3 CLICK You have been informed that your face-to-face training site CLICK and Training Manual CLICK is moving to an online learning environment. CLICK This can be very problematic CLICK when it comes to Instructor CLICK Readiness & winding up with static curriculum. Let’s take a look at how we will be covering these problems with solutions!
- #5 SCRIPT: I’m Cynthia V. Anderson, with a masters in Communication Management, I will be guiding you through transforming your static Curriculum to interactive experiences. Lets Get Started With Caitlin’s Presentation!
- #6 .
- #10 Script: What can go Wrong? – A Static Online Curriculum. – The Solution is adding interactivity!“ CLICK According to Muirhead, “Interaction has a major impact on the quality of online learning CLICK is one of the most difficult aspects of education to build into an online class, CLICK but it is also one of the most important.” According to (Brown, 2001). CLICK Interaction builds a sense of community among the students, CLICK Interaction exposes students to a variety of learning resources, including content materials and experiences shared by other students. CLICK Interaction makes students become more actively engaged in the learning process, leading to higher levels of learning. CLICK
- #11 Cynthia’s Script Your Problem: A Static Curriculum – Boring & Monotonous This problem CLICK is what I CLICK call, THE VIEW MASTER EXPERIENCE. Click Moore (1993) identified three types of interaction inherent in effective online courses: CLICK * Read & Click Research studies on interactivity show that students have a real need to make connections with other students and with their instructors. Lets get started implementing strategies for each interaction category in your online distance learning course. Click (1993). Three types of interaction. In K. Harry, M. John, & D. Keegan (Eds.), Distance education theory (pp. 19–24). New York: Routledge. Moore, M. G. (1991). Distance education theory [Electronic Version]. The American Journal of Distance Education, 5(3). Moore, M. G. (1993). Three types of interaction. In K. Harry, M. John & D. Keegan (Eds.), Distance education: New perspectives (pp. 12-24). London: Routlege.
- #12 My Script: Learner- Learner interaction results from students examining the course content and participating in class activities. According to the Worchster Poly-Tek-Nic Institute, Learner-content interaction is the process of intellectually interacting with the content resulting in Changes In the Learners Mind. These changes CLICK include understanding, CLICK perspectives, and CLICK cognitive structures of a learner’s mind.” As your student actively progresses through your curriculum one must Avoid 1 Type of Format Content CLICK (don’t read benefit) Click Content that is presented primarily in one format, requires many students to learn in a format that does not meet their learning style. CLICK Provide a mixture of delivery formats to meet multiple learning styles, such as combining text lectures with video clips. Delivering content in multiple formats provides variety and eliminates monotony. CLICK
- #13 My Script: One Example of learner- Content Interaction CLICK Is to Provide Resource Links to Online Resources CLICK – CLICK As your student progresses through the course, Resource Links CLICK Allows the Students to Explore the Topic more in Depth!
- #14 My Script: “Learner-instructor interaction is highly desirable as the instructor seeks to stimulate, or at least maintain, student interest in what is to be taught and to motivate the student to learn.” CLICK By Using Conversational language, You are creating welcoming atmosphere. This type of interaction is CLICK intended to reinforce student understanding of course materials CLICK and provide the student with feedback. CLICK An example of this type interaction is to WALK the Students Through your Syllabus with a Recorded Video . CLICK An Accompanying video with your syllabus is a tool that builds a relationship between you as the instructor and the student while explaining expectations found in a Syllabus. CLICK
- #15 My Script: “Learner-learner interaction is an extremely valuable resource for learning, and Moore (1993) emphasized the importance of students’ interaction with their peers in his work. It Builds a strong sence of Community between the students Which proves them with a valuable resource- EACH Other! CLICK One Example is Student Introductions. CLICK Like This One! Developing a participant introduction for their online course, This interaction will help students find others with similar backgrounds and interests and leads to the building of a sense of community in the course. A second example of Student – Student interaction between two students or between several students is through CLICK Group work. … CLICK Students become Joint Problem Solvers as a community.

Example: A “Group Project” Benefit to student: They become joint problem solvers as a community THANK YOU: leads to student satisfaction, retention, and increased learning
