Blue skies storyboard
Represent diagrammatically how you want your online course to be (best of possible real worlds)
Why?
To articulate the design objectives at the highest level …
…so that decisions at finer grained levels are easier to evaluate
Who for?
Yourselves in the first instance …
… and for your critical friends here today
… students, validation panels, colleagues, etc
•Human Resources
Institutional rationales…
are highly contextualised and institutionally specific Flexibility of provision
E.g. student recruitment and retention , opening facilities for longer hours, etc
Supporting diversity E.g. online support services
Enhancing the campus experienceE.g. supporting geographically dispersed students, e-portfolios
to support field work, technology rich classrooms that support interaction in large cohorts
Operating in a global context E.g. marketing courses globally, competitive advantage,
developing global citizens with e-literacy skills Efficiency
E.g. free up staff time, or at least make working locations and hours more flexible, make more effective use of contact time with students
Maintaining course quality in response to increasing cohort sizes E.g. learning objects for working through difficult topics extension activities for subsets of students additional opportunities for feedback preparing students for practical work creating opportunities for dialogue in small groups promoting interactivity in class
Engaging students out of class, E.gdiscussions which structure and pace study between face to
face sessionsdiscussion boards for sharing critical incident analyses during
placements interactive tasks for students to use outside of class time multiple choice questions to help students judge their progress
prior to examinations
