Welcome back after what we hope was a wonderful winter break. No snow in Oklahoma City, but we hope those of you who traveled to snow enjoyed it for all of us! Now it is time to power through the beginning of a semester and the end of your eLearning Course Design Workshop.
You are on your final content-based module in this workshop. The final module will help you consider how you will assess your students to determine if they have mastered the learning objectives you set forth for the course. While the Assessment tool in WebCT just relates to exams and quizzes, there is a whole wide world of ways to assess your student's learning. From project based learning to service learning to using technology in creative expression, you can make sure students are learning. You can also use the assessment results to further improve your course.
So what is next? Once you complete the activities for Module Nine, you will need to focus on perfecting your course. Review the UCOnline Course Quality rubric again looking for the places where your course needs improvement. Add discussions. Add content. While we encourage you to be creative and add challenging content, some of that "icing on the cake" may need to take a back seat while your finish developing the core of your course. You have about one month before the Showcase!
The remaining Module 10 is the peer review. We will assign your peer review partners at the end of the month. So congratulations on nearly finishing the coursework. Now get busy finishing up that course!
Andrea and Tracy
