I spent an hour or so revisiting your posts for the transformative discussion and notes from the first group meeting several weeks ago. There are some very interesting ideas for creative assignments involving role play, ethical behavior and cultures. I also read about graded discussions that will be designed to motivate the learner to do more than merely contribute and reflective assignments that will encourage students to personalize the learning experience and think critically about applicable learning theories. Within this group, there is a great interest in a number of new web-based tools and most importantly, a shared desire among everyone to “try” something new.
With such excitement, I don’t want to slow down the enthusiasm. In fact, I encourage you to continue sharing ideas, plans and resources using the Wiki. The third activity will take you to the Wiki where you will post online resources for your online course. Let your passion for teaching become contagious and share, share, share!
One final thought, take a moment to look at the calendar. We have nine weeks left in the eLearning Course Design Workshop. That is not much time left when you think about all the work yet to do. I encourage you to manage your time well. Identify the number of lessons to write, assignments to create, exams to setup, discussions to prepare, etc. and give each task a due date. Remember to contact us when you have problems or questions. We are here to help YOU.
You are doing a great job!
Tracy
