Creating the Course

Starting Point

• Take a couple of On-line courses • Various aspects of online course

• Course Organization & Modularization

• Different Delivery Methods

• Online Evaluation

• Student Interaction

Step 1

• Decide on the Division of course

• How much ?

• What ?

• What Form ?

Think

• Pick a class—what does it look like? What do you do in the classroom?

• What do you do outside of class time?

• What do your students do in the classroom?

• What do they do outside of class time?

• What is the best use of my face-to-face time with my students?

Modularization

• Course is for a semester• Break it into workable modules

• Break at Logical Modules

• All modules need not be of same length

• Modules break into sub- modules that break further into units

Modularization

• Creating a learning sequence for student active learning

• Modularity primary requirement – as stand alone as possible

• Easy to reorganize the course

• Students can find all material related to a module at a single point

• Sharing of content

Module Organization

• Sub Modules

• Units

Modules

• Introduction

• Video(s)

• Any Additional Reference

• Short Quiz

• Animations

• Programming Exercises

• Discussion Forum Link

• Interfacing between earlier and later units

Unit

What to put in a unit ?

It is not about recorded videos

Some intro text to video will be good

Animations to illustrate concepts

End of video a short quiz – for student self assessment

Discussion Points

Learning Sequence

Short videos, readings and other media are interwoven with practice, automatic feedback and assessments.

Focus on interesting and important ideas, questions, issues, problems

Engage the learner in developing answers and solutions

Create dynamic, short video segments targeted at the viewer

Design meaningful, challenging exercises

Take a hands-on approach throughout

Create Videos

• Tablet Capture

• Tablet Capture with Instructor

• Live Capture

• Camtasia

• Screencastomatic

• Ezwid

• Camstudio

• Webinaria

• ShareX

Creating videos

• Not created on your own – should carry copyright notice

• Video Creation• Short videos • Helps if there is someone is with you while recording• Annotating on slides is fine – but duration can be kept short• Imagine camera as a student – there is no need to be

different• Video set-up – movement is limited – something as minor as

expressions or voice modulation help putting across important points

• Review the video once it is done – get a student or a colleague to review
