As you design
online course
components, your
primary focus will
be on three key
areas:
[Link] content
[Link]
interaction
[Link]
CONTENT

Providing your students with


course materials, which will be
made available in a variety of
formats.
INTERACTION

Developing ways for your


students to interact with
content, with each other, with
outside sources, and with you.
ASSESSMEN
T

Measuring students’ progress


and achievement against set
standards.
DESIGNING
BACKWARDS

(and a little bit forward)


What was I
going to do in
class during
that time?
1. What do I want my students to
be
able to do/know when they’re
back
in the classroom?

2. What will I accept as evidence


to demonstrate student
learning/mastery?

3. What learning activity will


produce
this evidence/documentation?

It is MUCH easier to
measure
participation
in online learning!
A few tips …
THE DESIGN
PHASE
Build the walls of your virtual classroom by
establishing parameters for success. Provide
interaction guidelines
and rubrics for learning activities and
assignments.

Craft introductory and concluding “bookends”


to enclose your online course content.

Establish a clear sequence for engagement in


content, interaction, and assessment tasks.
THE DEVELOPMENT
PHASE
Introducing everything in your own words.

Provide a list of annotated resources. Share


links
with meaning – your meaning.

Prepare your students to be online learners.


Digital natives may be tech savvy, but plan
for contingencies

Provide extra context to keep your students


focused
THE DELIVERY
PHASE
Determine a schedule and communicate that
schedule
out with clear milestones and deliverables.

Don’t leave students hanging in the virtual


hallway! Provide them with opportunities to
connect with you outside of the classroom via
email, discussion, etc.

Wrap things up in the online space and


prepare them
to return to the classroom.
