Description

• Designing engaging and effective online courses is a challenge faced by institutions of all types, shapes and sizes. This training session aims to demystify and simplify the process of online course design in the context of the Moodlerooms platform and informed by the latest trends in pedagogy and learning technology. Whilst this is a 'hands off' training session having access to your Moodle would be of benefit so BYOD!

Now for the magic

…Not yet…Herding cats (subject matter experts)

Engaging Online Courses

subject matter expert knowledge and expertise

14

Not yet – instructional design models

• Course design hits the buffers because of stakeholder types– ID– SME (e.g. a lecturer in HE or corporate Learning and Development staff)– Developer (often same as ID)

– SME and ID talk a different language. ID = ADDIE and massive list of other models. SME’s really cannot be bothered!

Collaboration – Moodlerooms’ Advanced Forum

• Keep up with what’s important to you with the ability to subscribe to only certain discussions within a forum.

• Sort posts by the post date, creation date, first name, last name, or the number of replies. Then control the order of that sort in either ascending or descending fashion.

• Mark posts that enhance and extend the discussion as “Substantive.”

• Bookmark posts that you need to return to later, or that you may want to draw other students attention to in an instructor reply.

• Collect sensitive data from course participants by enabling anonymous posting, while retaining the ability to grade those posts.

• Grade Advanced forums with Advanced grading methods, like core Moodle Rubrics, or Joule Checklists.

• Use the Joule Grader to quickly and easily grade Advanced forums.

Collaboration – Collaborate!

• Synchronous as well as asynchronous
