  3. Developing Interactive Learning Activities Session Overview: Keeping students motivated and engaged in an online course includes all aspects of the course. This session will explore creating interactive learning activities that engage students through unique, technology driven tools.

  4. Session Topics Universal Design for Learning Planning & designing learning activities Developing an interactive learning activity Engaging students through activities

  5. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Quote from CAST (Center for Applied Special Technology) http://www.cast.org/udl/index.html Universal Design for Learning is a set of principles for curriculum development that give all individuals equal opportunities to learn. UDL provides a blueprint for creating instructional goals, methods, materials, and assessments that work for everyone--not a single, one-size-fits-all solution but rather flexible approaches that can be customized and adjusted for individual needs.

Interactive Learning Activities (ILA) Components: • Active learning – students must complete a task • Interactive – students are communicating with another student, instructor, computer, tool • Engages and holds students attention – tasks should require critical thinking skills, but appropriate for course level

  10. Types of ILAs • Synchronous & asynchronous communication • Discussion Forums • Virtual Classrooms • Blogs & Wikis • Interactive lessons • Portfolios • Multimedia projects • Video • Audio • Problem-based activities • Case studies (group project) • Graphic organizers • Games & simulations
