Aims – for me! • Make recommendations for you as a team. • Give top tips for you as individuals. • Provide support over the next few months: • SKYPE? • Online classes? • Twitter? @vivienrolfe • Complete guide summarising all the points we have discussed.
Aims – for you? • See discussion documents.
Goals? Learners? • See discussion docs.

Design considerations • What makes for an effective course? • What make up effective components of a course? • What makes an effective resource?
Effective use of tech? • Grey and Rolfehttp://journals.heacademy.ac.uk/doi/abs/10.3108/beej.18.5 • Multimedia (online learning) is better for some things and not others e.g. replacing lectures but not practicals. • Generally, most education interventions – tech or otherwise – are poorly evaluated.
So what works, and what doesn’t? • http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/nursing/sonet/rlos/bioproc/kidneydrug/index.html • http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/nursing/sonet/rlos/studyskills/harvard/index.html
Effective components? • Means et al (2010). http://www2.ed.gov/rschstat/eval/tech/evidence-based-practices/finalreport.pdf • Videos and quiz are not the best combination for online learning! • “Blended elements of online and face-to-face instruction with conditions taught entirely face-to-face. Analysts noted that these blended conditions often included additional learning time and instructional elements not received by students in control conditions”.
Effective resources? • Look at Richard E Mayer • Reduce cognitive overload: • No more than 2 elements (e.g. visual + narration or visual + text) • Placing of text / arrows near to relevant objects rather than far • Visual + narration or text must be sequential • Avoid continuous streams – allow for video controls • Ensure learners are familiar with terms / concepts (e.g. pre-training) • Narrations must be conversational and not formal • Human voices please!
Development tips • However long you think it might take? Double it. • Do all your planning first. • Think about unified approaches – colours / fonts / styles of resources and/or Bb course ‘shells’. • How accessible are your courses? • How to work with others – planning tools, subject conventions?
Delivery • What are your goals for: • Patterns of delivery – all at once / time released? • Levels of notification / support? • Autonomous or connected? Ground rules? Literacies? Expectations? • Assessment and feedback? • Linking to course administration systems?
MCQ! See Phil Race’s presentation!
Dissemination? • What are your plans for: • Evaluation – during development and after? • What might you measure and how? • Why not disseminate / publish / report back at conferences? (With links to your courses of course BACKLINK).
Discovery? • What are your plans for: • Picking the best for Flickr / YouTube? • BACKLINK to course URL. • Publicize via Twitter. • Professional body / society newsletters?
This presentation was just an overview, and a fuller guide to developing online learning will be made available to the team. • Also look at vivrolfe.com for further details.
