What was one thing you learned over the past weeks that you found particularly interesting or helpful? How has your experience with online learning been so far, and what do you enjoy most about it? What are some challenges you anticipate facing as you learn about online course design, and how do you plan to address them? en-us 2023-05-05 23:05:35 UTC 2023-06-10 03:19:32 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/hongtp/eq7cufusdwrpy8dw/wish/2615320151 The first two weeks was an immersion into ensuring text was accessible and the course was structured to encourage engagement. I view this third week of the course as a deep dive into all the information students need to know or have access to throughout the semester and how to deliver the content of the course in a logical manner while meeting best practices for syllabi and ensuring the activities and assignments match SLOs. - Cheryl Corbiell]]> 2023-06-06 01:05:24 UTC https://padlet.com/hongtp/eq7cufusdwrpy8dw/wish/2615320151 https://padlet.com/hongtp/eq7cufusdwrpy8dw/wish/2616213370 I have especially appreciated learning about accessibility, security, and how to craft content.

One tool in particular that I really enjoyed using is the Grackle extension. I like how it analyzes your document and gives suggestions on how to make things more ADA compliant.]]> 2023-06-06 19:06:40 UTC https://padlet.com/hongtp/eq7cufusdwrpy8dw/wish/2616214401 https://padlet.com/hongtp/eq7cufusdwrpy8dw/wish/2616214498 As a new instructor, I have been learning a lot and am greatfull for the wealth of information this class has provided. This past semester I had to create an online course and I used the 5week template. I’m glad to see it referendlced for our next class and want to learn and review what I may have done right or wrong. ADA was an eye opener in regards to what I need to improve on when creating material going forward.]]> 2023-06-06 19:06:49 UTC https://padlet.com/hongtp/eq7cufusdwrpy8dw/wish/2616214498 https://padlet.com/hongtp/eq7cufusdwrpy8dw/wish/2616214750 I have really enjoyed learning all of the things that I am doing incorrectly in regard to accessibility. I have been looking at my content and working to update and become compliant. ]]> 2023-06-06 19:07:13 UTC https://padlet.com/hongtp/eq7cufusdwrpy8dw/wish/2616214750 https://padlet.com/hongtp/eq7cufusdwrpy8dw/wish/2616215052 I learned the capabilities and tools that are available on Google Docs.  I have really enjoyed becoming more proficient and knowledgable in that area. Also after viewing the homework examples, I was unprepared for the detail in the documents that need to created for the online courses.  All the things "I say" in class or even on Zoom needed to be put on paper.  I plan to work over the summer on reviewing all the documents I currently use for my courses and start to fill in the gaps and start to build all new items with the new things I have learned in mind.

I have found a lot of inspiration there and plan to incorporate some of these strategies. I am still concerned about how to best design my hybrid ( hyflex ) course this fall so that it is engaging rigorous and meaningful for both in -person and online students. ]]> 2023-06-06 19:08:08 UTC https://padlet.com/hongtp/eq7cufusdwrpy8dw/wish/2616215337 https://padlet.com/hongtp/eq7cufusdwrpy8dw/wish/2616215480


In the first two weeks. I found it most helpful to discuss the ADA compliance guidelines.  I was not aware of many of the nuances of this.  For, example...  Learning about the difference of font for printed media versus reading off of web pages.  
The contrast discussion of green vs red and learning about the lage breaks and photo captions was also very helpful.  I am excited to be aware of these factors as I move foward in the new materials I prepare.

When designing and posting, you can get lost in content development and this is something that can get lost. Reminder of the tools/techniques has been good and feels less daunting. I found value in sharing with others about how to engage in the online classroom setting.--Jen Sims]]> 2023-06-06 19:08:23 UTC https://padlet.com/hongtp/eq7cufusdwrpy8dw/wish/2616215507 https://padlet.com/hongtp/eq7cufusdwrpy8dw/wish/2616215585 Everything has been very helpful and I look forward to looking back on the resources provided and sharing them with my colleagues. Learning about how to make slides and Laulima content accessible to all was really eye opening and I appreciated the time to practice those details. Also, it's been great to get to know folks from other campuses! ]]> 2023-06-06 19:08:30 UTC https://padlet.com/hongtp/eq7cufusdwrpy8dw/wish/2616215585 https://padlet.com/hongtp/eq7cufusdwrpy8dw/wish/2616215674 I actually don't have any plans to teach any fully online courses, however, I do plan to incorporated much of the information I have learned into my upcoming laulima course design.  I do plan on revamping/updating my course syllabus in Laulima.  It has been much needed for a while now.  Many instructors (including me) in the UH system have just written an entire OER anatomy and physiology text, so we are trying to make the a and p course across all campuses more universal.  With that being said, instructors have produced a template course syllabus that I plan on adopting
I have found it helpful to view the course from the perspective of a student, and to plan and implement my course content with the learner in mind.

But there are still some features that need clarification.]]> 2023-06-06 19:09:02 UTC https://padlet.com/hongtp/eq7cufusdwrpy8dw/wish/2616215921 shaec2 https://padlet.com/hongtp/eq7cufusdwrpy8dw/wish/2616215969 I have been enjoying the course materials so far, particularly the accessible features that are available to us. I can't help but think about how great it would be if there was a one-stop-shop to have all of our courses checked for accessibility and compliance with copyright laws etc. 

The discussions have been my favorite so far! I absolutely love learning about all the brilliant processes from everyone and the replies are very nice. Finally, I feel very supported by the course facilitators :-)]]> 2023-06-06 19:09:07 UTC https://padlet.com/hongtp/eq7cufusdwrpy8dw/wish/2616215969 https://padlet.com/hongtp/eq7cufusdwrpy8dw/wish/2616216081 The strategies for the online class facilitation and accessibility of course materials & use of tools, especially the "alt text" to photos.]]> 2023-06-06 19:09:18 UTC https://padlet.com/hongtp/eq7cufusdwrpy8dw/wish/2616216081 https://padlet.com/hongtp/eq7cufusdwrpy8dw/wish/2616216145 I learned a lot about copyrights. I didn't know about the three licenses. The copyright assignment was challenging but I really liked the various scenarios we had to analyze. This experience has been very helpful! A challenge will be going through my online courses to confirm I haven't violated any copyright laws. ]]> 2023-06-06 19:09:25 UTC https://padlet.com/hongtp/eq7cufusdwrpy8dw/wish/2616216145 amour8082 https://padlet.com/hongtp/eq7cufusdwrpy8dw/wish/2616216151 Good stuff! Some things help to reinforce what I know and many more things introduce me to new ways of thinking. Best thing about DCO classes is the flexibility it allows.

Challenges I anticipate are moving from Laulima to the whatever the next LMS is.]]> 2023-06-06 19:09:26 UTC https://padlet.com/hongtp/eq7cufusdwrpy8dw/wish/2616216151 https://padlet.com/hongtp/eq7cufusdwrpy8dw/wish/2616216879 One thing that I found particularly interesting was accessibility. I have to admit that I was pretty ignorant about this, especially since I'm very new to education. It wasn't even something on my radar at all, but now that I think about it, it makes perfect sense. We need to be sure that our courses are accessible for EVERYONE. ]]> 2023-06-06 19:10:34 UTC https://padlet.com/hongtp/eq7cufusdwrpy8dw/wish/2616216879 https://padlet.com/hongtp/eq7cufusdwrpy8dw/wish/2616217627 2023-06-06 19:11:33 UTC https://padlet.com/hongtp/eq7cufusdwrpy8dw/wish/2616217627 https://padlet.com/hongtp/eq7cufusdwrpy8dw/wish/2616232327 Thank you for a great pd course thus far. I am quite excited to especially learn about accessibility...the last assignment was great practice in applying what was learned and I am looking forward to utilizing it in my future courses. 
You facilitators are all a wealth of knowledge and totally rock! It's funny though, maybe not really hahaha, that just as I am learning to get comfortable in navigating through Laulima, I will get to learn yet another platform in its replacement...
A challenge I still face, to a certain degree in all of my cohorts, is that there will always be some arduous component that students encounter through online instruction which in turn pushes me to come up with better solutions for better outcomes and enhanced learning for the student.]]> 2023-06-06 19:34:01 UTC https://padlet.com/hongtp/eq7cufusdwrpy8dw/wish/2616232327 cribordy4 https://padlet.com/hongtp/eq7cufusdwrpy8dw/wish/2616531808 During the first two weeks I have learned so much about developing an online course.  One thing that was eye-opening to me was the copyrighting information we reviewed.  I knew what a copyright was, but I did not understand all of the intricacies of it.  I have a much better understanding now and will be able to properly use resources within my course. 

I also enjoy learning about ADA accessibility. I have a sister with dyslexia and have come to appreciate the need for accessible content throughout every course, not just online ones. ]]> 2023-06-07 02:27:40 UTC https://padlet.com/hongtp/eq7cufusdwrpy8dw/wish/2616531808 https://padlet.com/hongtp/eq7cufusdwrpy8dw/wish/2616568585 I have learned so much about online course design over the last two weeks-- I don't know where to begin. However, the best part of taking this class for me has been the actual experience of taking someone else's online course. How eye-opening for me to be the one learning how to navigate the class modules, figure out technical issues with my instructors, scramble to meet the Sunday deadline. It's hard being a student! And fun and rewarding, too. The course design for OCDR Phase 1 is AMAZING, the premier yardstick for lecturers like me wanting to take our online courses to the next level. Mahalo instructors!

The challenges I anticipate are implementing everything I learned. I want to have a high quality online course design but there are only so many hours in a day to devote to it. This summer I would not only like to give my online course a better design, I want to update my class content with new/current material, and different class activities and projects.

I am also quite excited to have learned about H5P, Edpuzzle, and Flip. All of these will be helpful in both my sync and async courses. ]]> 2023-06-10 03:18:40 UTC https://padlet.com/hongtp/eq7cufusdwrpy8dw/wish/2619699935
