    1. Design with Learning in Mind Based on Chapter 1 of Robin M. Smith’s Conquering the Content Presented by Lamiaa Youssef March 27, 2009

    2. Chapter Overview Learning in the 21st century Advantages of online courses How web-based learning is the same as classroom learning What is effective teaching? Learning Styles Teaching styles Think “learning” not “teaching” How web-based learning is different from classroom learning Environment (altered, learner-centered) Course components Roles (student, instructor) Action steps

    3. Learning in the 21st Century What type of information do we look for online? Best match Quick loading Clear, precise (preferably w/images) Checks or verifications No time wasters Note: Teaching materials that worked in the past is not suitable for web-based teaching. Students grew up in a visual environment. They can process multiple things at one time!

    4. Advantages of Online Courses Convenient access Flexible schedule No attendance requirement Ability to review content more than once Learning guides provided Flexible pacing Permanent base to review and update course Meaningful feedback Instructor knows what students are seeing Course critique by instructor made easier External reviews made easier (less personal)

    5. How Web-Based Learning Is the Same as Classroom Learning What do effective teachers do? Encourage faculty-to-student interaction Encourage student-to-student interaction Promote active learning Communicate high expectations Facilitate time on task Provide rich, rapid feedback Respect diverse learning

    6. How Web-Based Learning Is the Same as Classroom Learning (Cont.) What do effective learning environments do? Activation of prior experience Demonstration of skills Application of skills Integration of skills into real-world activities

    7. How Web-Based Learning Is the Same as Classroom Learning (Cont.) How is learning facilitated? When learners are engaged in solving real-world problems When existing knowledge is activated as a foundation for new knowledge When new knowledge is demonstrated to the learner When new knowledge is applied by the learner When new knowledge is integrated into the learner’s world

    8. How Web-Based Learning Is the Same as Classroom Learning (Cont.) Learning Styles Visual – Aural (Auditory) – Read/Write – Kinesthetic – Multi-Modal (http://www.vark-learn.com) Global – Sequential Perceiving/Intuitive Inductive/Deductive Active/Reflective (http://www.engr.ncsu.edu/learningstyles/ilsweb.html) (http://www4.ncsu.edu/unity/lockers/users/f/felder/public/ILSdir/styles.htm)

    9. How Web-Based Learning Is the Same as Classroom Learning (Cont.) Teaching styles What type of information is emphasized? What mode of presentation is stressed? How is the presentation organized? What mode of student participation is facilitated? What type of perspective is provided on the information? Think “learning” not “teaching” Instead of “What will we teach?” think “What do students need to learn?” More work, less work, same work? Learning strategies may be different by content covered and learning outcomes should be the same.

    10. How Web-Based Learning Is Different from Classroom Learning Altered Environment Do not expect that students will have an uninterrupted time to view course material online. Verbal positive reinforcement replaces visual cues in a classroom. A clear pathway of learning is essential. There is a visible, archived record of all course material. Changes are needed to accomplish the same learning outcomes.

    11. How Web-Based Learning Is Different from Classroom Learning (Cont.) Learner-centered environment Self-selected Time Place Pace Around-the-clock access

    12. How Web-Based Learning Is Different from Classroom Learning (Cont.) Course components Chunk-ability Repeat-ability Pause-ability Understand-ability

    13. How Web-Based Learning Is Different from Classroom Learning (Cont.) Student role: Responsibility Discipline Instructor role: Development and design activities Facilitation and teaching activities Advance planning

    14. Action Steps Select one course (Form 1) Gather all materials Document current organization of course (Forms 2A, 2B, 2C) Course revision form (Form 3) Search for similar online course to get a sense of how content is presented Create modules out of chapters (Form 4)

    15. Thoughts? Questions?
