Best Practices - Overview • Who came up with these “best practices”? • AIU online faculty from English, Math, UNIV, IT, CJ, etc. • Research studies on adaptive learning, e.g., • “New Research Validates Effectiveness of AdaptiveLearning,” EmergingEdTech, August 2013. http://bit.ly/13OjLsN • What should you do with this information? • Implement those in the “required” category • Try out the others, develop your own, stay in thefeedback loop as you are today

Best Practices – Repeat Messaging • Advertising’s “Rule of 7” • How many impressions do our online students need? • What should I repeat? • Daily reminder set (file share pod) • Completion = Knowledge • “5 Secrets to intelliPath Success” (file share pod) • Role of Determine Knowledge • Mastery Learning Techniques • repeat testing • unlimited time • open-book, “cheat sheets”
Best Practices – Social Collaboration • Why this social aspect? Rather than the instructor simply disseminating informationone-way, students can interact with each other through pairing and online study boards. Most of all, these isolated online students can receive support & encouragement from each other. • What is the Achilles Heel of online education? “The single most important barrier to students learning online is the lack of social interaction.” Muilenburg & Berge (2005). Journal of Distance Education.
