This may be through online videos with accompanying questions (such as on Edpuzzle) to assess their understanding of the content, or online interactive games, such as through Kahoot. ]]> 2023-05-05 12:22:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ELCC/gwi74eccwwqydesw/wish/2579468207 Interactive Components kaylafurlan https://padlet.com/ELCC/gwi74eccwwqydesw/wish/2579469892 A successful online course should allow students to engage with one another no matter if the course is synchronous or asynchronous. Synchronous meets should have students working in groups or at least talking to one another every (or almost every) class, while asynchronous classes should provide opportunities for discussions through discussion boards or other interactive mediums. ]]> 2023-05-05 12:24:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ELCC/gwi74eccwwqydesw/wish/2579469892 Clear Course Architecture https://padlet.com/ELCC/gwi74eccwwqydesw/wish/2579670304 No matter the platform, it should be clear to students what is expected of them each lesson/day/week (depending on course structure).
*As I have begun working with Canvas it seems this is a huge positive aspect of this platform*

-Clear learning objectives and outcomes that are communicated to students
-Accessible on user-friendly technology that supports learning and communication
-A supportive and inclusive learning environment that means the diverse needs of all students
-A strong sense of community and connection between students and the teacher
-Ongoing professional development and support for teachers to develop their online teaching skills and knowledge.
-Opportunities for students to receive feedback on their learning, and reflect on their progress.]]> 2023-05-06 00:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ELCC/gwi74eccwwqydesw/wish/2580052383 Criteria for Successful Online Teaching & Learning https://padlet.com/ELCC/gwi74eccwwqydesw/wish/2580114632
  • create a sense of community & belonging (it's easy to forget about human interaction in an online world) by building personal relationships between students & with the instructor (welcome video)
  • collaborative learning opportunities
  • individualized feedback (office hours, peer review, timely instructor feedback)
  • active learning through small group tasks & shared student responsibility in learning
  • chunked lessons and tasks following clear learning goals
  • multi-modal assessments
  • multi-device & accessible layouts/docs (meeting student accessibility needs)
  • clearly structured course with a timeline for students to balance work responsibly
  • as the meme suggests, be open to learning and be flexible because online teaching itself is a learning experience for all

Some steps that can support an effective user experience are:
    • limiting the number of clicks
    • providing a clear table of contents and consistent/predictable locations for course content
    • using high-contrast/minimalistic design
    • Incorporating images/videos and using text concisely (ideally consistly providing multimodal resources)
    • 'chunking' broader topics into clear steps with interactive opportunities for self-assessment
    When thinking about how I set up things for students in online or physical spaces, I go back to a favourite tactic from Jen Gonzalez called 'dogfooding'. Essentially, am I making the kind of space or resource that I would want to use myself? I love when an LMS easily lets me see the "student view"

Students should be crystal clear on where they go to receive information, content and instructions, and how to submit anything required of them. Online courses can feel overwhelming as it takes a lot of time management and independence on behalf of students, and enhancing the accessibility of our course designs gives students one less thing to worry about as they are learning. ]]> 2023-05-07 20:39:14 UTC https://padlet.com/ELCC/gwi74eccwwqydesw/wish/2581069307
