7. Objectives Broadly define distance education and relevant modalities Explain the importance of UTHSC’s process for course development Identify ways you can integrate best practices into your courses.
8. So you’re going to teach online…
10. What is distance education?
11. “The formal educational process that occurs when students and instructors are not in the same physical setting for the majority (more than 50%) of instruction.”
12. online off-campus F2F hybrid ACTIVE LEARNING interactive video
13. faculty and students meet F2F, but meet at off-site location (not main campus) DE MODALITIES UTHSC OFF-SITE LOCATION Off-Campus F2F
14. 85-100% of course content delivery is done online, mostly asynchronously DE MODALITIES Internet/Online
15. majority (more than 50% but less than 85%) of the instruction occurs when students and instructor(s) are not in the same place OR OR DE MODALITIES Hybrid/Blended
16. electronic-to-individuals vs. electronic-to-group(s) OR DE MODALITIES Interactive Video
17. no single mode accounts for 50% of instruction DE MODALITIES Multiple Other
18. A course design process. Why bother?
19. We have to. (per SACS, THECB) It’s right. (better course built for students)
20. Time to consolidate!
21. QUESTION 1 To best accommodate students’ internship and work schedules, your department decides to offer MPH 501 as a hybrid course. What is the minimum percentage of time you must meet with students face-to-face?
22. QUESTION 2 To best accommodate students’ internship and work schedules, your department decides to offer MPH 501 as a hybrid course. What is the maximum percentage of time you can meet with students face-to-face?
23. QUESTION 3 Professor Q feels strongly that her online class needs to meet in person for an orientation. Will holding one face-to- face meeting still mean the course meets the definition of an online course?
24. Whichever modality… the principles of good learning experience design apply.
25. Shifting gears…
26. What does a good DE course look like? (And how do I build one?)
29. STOP
30. What has been the best learning experience you’ve ever had?
31. AWESOME COURSES
32. CONTENT AWESOME COURSES
33. Content: You’ve got this.
34. CONTENT TECH AWESOME COURSES
35. Remember: Tech is just a tool.
36. CONTENT PEDAGOGY AWESOME COURSES TECH
37. What has been the worst learning experience you’ve ever had?
38. Let’s talk pedagogy.
39. structure navigation pacing accessibility practice feedback interaction
40. Structure What: consistent, logical arrangement that provides a predictable, clear pattern. Why: reduces cognitive load, supports student learning
41. Navigation What: clearly identifiable cues (in text, with graphics) that facilitate movement between pages and throughout course. Why: reduces cognitive load, supports student learning
42. Pacing/Chunking What: meaningful segmentation of content into distinct units/modules/pages. Why: reduces cognitive load, supports student learning
43. Accessibility What: all documents, images, media, and required materials are accessible. Why: meets the needs of diverse learners
44. Practice What: assessments that are authentic, valid (aligned with objectives), and frequent with clear expectations and criteria. Why: provides opportunity to evaluate student understanding
45. Interaction What: opportunities for student-faculty, student-content, and student-student engagement. Why: builds community of learners, provides support for learners
46. Feedback What: direct, consistent, timely response to student assessment submissions. Why: provides opportunity to correct misunderstandings, aid further understanding
47. But what does a good course look like?
