A few more considerations • Painfully explicit • An online course should not be the face-to-face course minus the face-to-face activities. • Chunking • Examples and non-examples • Getting informed about the possibilities • The design should be done before the course starts.
Foundations of Online Course Design & Teaching Dr. Bernard Bullbernard.bull@cuw.edu
Pedagogical • Disciplinary expertise • Intimate knowledge of the course content • Knowledge of the learners (developmental, context, motivations, etc.) • Knowledge of the teaching and learning possibilities • Primary focus upon mentoring and student mastery of the stated learning objectives
Managerial • Painfully clear and explicit instructions • Well-organized • Keep things functioning well
Mentoring • Real-time office hours • One-on-one real-time and small group sessions • Recorded audio feedback on work • Real-time feedback on work
Mentoring • Let students communicate ideas using audio and video. • Multiple drafts and ungraded formative feedback • Ensure that the students can use their performance on the work in order to improve. • My feedback will not be solely focused on form or substance, but the student’s progress toward expertise with the area of student.
Technical • First line of technical support • Know where to send students • Managing the emotions as much as the technical problems • Know the tools of the trade • “Settings issue” versus “broken”
Pastoral • The instructor knows and embraces the school mission. • The instructor welcomes and elicits dialogue about matters of faith and learning. • The instructor promotes a positive Christian classroom environment. • The instructor engages students in how the content applies to real world contexts.
