13. Innovative Strategies toward Improving Online Course Quality Learning Technologies Facilitator Beth Hale Chemeketa’s New Course Development Process
How do you recognize it when you see it? Brainstorm quality construction in home-building and liken to online course-building. Does it look appealing? Is it sound, safe, with a usable layout? (Is it instructionally sound , intuitive, organized, accessible, etc.) Important to be on the same page! My definition of quality in an online course is: The degree of alignment , engagemen t, and accessibility it possesses. What do most page-turners lack? ENGAGEMENT!!!
This is NOT our idea of Learner Engagement! Designing for engagement is something I always recommend.
Often faculty-developers are limited to 30 hours of curriculum development or released time for a 3-credit course. It’s simply not enough time for quality! So we end up with page-turners that are lacking in student-content interaction and engagement.
(Clip is the “Building planes in the sky” commercial). Developing eLearning while delivering eLearning really isn’t a feasible approach, but it’s what usually happens, at least first in higher education because development time is so short. (video clip at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaal1v-vLYQ )
Time! Given the predominant model of faculty-development on online courses, how can we give faculty the time they need to include engaging activities in their online courses? Or is there a way to help them make better use of the time they already spend? Do we need more time or a better tool so we don’t waste time?
Need for reusable interactive learning objects that can be accessed and stored readily. These must be easily and quickly produced. Physics Instructor, learning to use BlackBoard put it this way, “What I really wish was that there was some easy way to capture what I say, write, and draw and present it to the students online. Not everyone has a smart board.” –David Reil, Physical Science Instructor.
The Smartpen happens to be 2009’s Most Innovative Education Product. First marketed as notetaking tool, but has many other applications including as an assistive technology for those with processing disabilities and even audio-tactile graphics for blind students.
I asked him to draw and write on the dot paper just as if he were using the whiteboard and teaching his students face-to face a 5-minute concept. Another example http://tinyurl.com/PencastPhysFluids2

Take questions then have them look at pretest and see if their answers would be different after the workshop.
