Often the most difficult part of transitioning is figuring out where to start. The first step is some thoughtful pre-planning to understand where you are now, and where you want to be. This happens before you start your ADDIE workflow (coming up next.)
Reference your current course outline. Think about how you deliver your classes now.
Shift your mindset from “How do I put my course online,” to “How do I make the best online learning experience.” These topics will help get your mindset in the right place. Select the headings to reveal the things to think carefully about when designing online learning:
How else will you, or your learners, know if they are learning anything? How else do you measure? Sure, a course that makes people feel loved and wanted and supported is great, and you will get great reviews, but if they can’t do what they came to learn, then your course will not gain traction, and your goals will not be accomplished.
Constructive alignment means that all aspects of your class—from learning outcomes, talks, resources, activities, and assessable projects—are all directly related to each other and support a progressive (or scaffolded) system of learning throughout the duration of your course. (Biggs 2011)
This generation of learners has a lot of technical expertise when it comes to Facebook, Twitter and email, but they may never have taken an online course before or used a learning management system. Integrate “learning the technology” with a tiered approach to help them learn as they go. You can also provide mini-tech courses to help fill in technology gaps.
This course uses a tiered approach—you are learning about the learning environment in small doses while becoming an online Facilitator and Course designer.
What works online?
Each stage of the learning process can benefit from different online tools. When evaluating the tools, it’s helpful to consider “Blooms Taxonomy”. More about Bloom’s in the next section.
For example, Bloom’s has several levels of learning. The first level of learning:
Identifying, recognizing, listing, naming, retrieving, etc
– Online self-tests
– Flash cards
– Social bookmarking
– Searching for facts
