Teach More Effectively with Customizing Learning Experiences
Online Course Development
If online courses were customized to meet the needs and interests of individual students would instructors’ workloads become unmanageable?
That’s certainly the fear.
But in reality, there are some paths to customized course content that can actually reduce faculty workload, while creating a rich experience and better outcomes for students.
Author and consultant Judith Boettcher, Ph.D., shares a model for personalizing online coursework without overtaxing faculty.
We provide a road map to online course development that meets the needs of students and faculty and also addresses the increasing demand for accountability and improved learning outcomes.
This seminar provides you with a wealth of tools and techniques to help build truly individualized learning experiences for students.
In this 75-minute presentation, we shares insights on:
- How to better understand the goals and mental models of individual learners.
- How to integrate the concepts of social, teaching and cognitive presence into course creation.
- How to “design in” choices and options for readings, assignments and projects.
- Where customization makes the most sense within a course.
- How to use rubrics to incorporate self- and peer-review processes.
