Learning Design Activities What are Learning Design Activities? • If Learning design is a model that you can follow to help plan your online courses then learning design activities are the steps in a model that help you get there. These provide hands-on practice with the learning design process. In essence, we will be looking at each step in the process and using LDA worksheets to get us through them. …and why do we need them? • LDAs can help you address the four key questions that all course designers should ask before designing and developing an online course (Mager, 1984): • Where are we going? (What are the goals of the instruction?) • How will we get there? (What is the instructional strategy and the instructional medium?) • How will we know when we have arrived? (What should our assessments look like? How will we evaluate and revise the learning materials?) • What resources are available? (templates, tools, samples, colleagues) • LDA worksheets provided within the BB course; samples also provided
Sample Courses • Professional Development Modules (GERI) • LDT Program Template (EDCI 53100) • Wilmington University (Blackboard) http://www.wilmu.edu/onlinelearning/dlsample_faculty.aspx
Online Syllabus Considerations • Policies, Procedures may be impacted • Netiquette policy! • Plagiarism policy • Late assignments • Time zones—really!! • Specific dates, not just weeks • Very specific Communication Plan • I always add a discussion thread, “Ask a Peer, Ask the Instructor” and “subscribe” to the thread • Availability • Your participation in the DQs • Participation/Grading Criteria • If you are going to use Discussion Questions (DQs), for example, post participation guidelines • Redundancy is good in online courses—really! • See Ko & Rossen, chapter 5
