DESCRIPTION:The COVID19 Pandemic sent learning and teaching into a whirlwind spin for both students and staff. This changed experience has left some academics with courses that were not designed to provide engaging, memorable learning experiences. Course Review: Through the Lens of a Learner is an asynchronous course that focuses on how educators/facilitators could enhance an online/blended course that would positively contribute to students’ online learning experience.
<br />This course explores various strategies and frameworks that educators/facilitators could use to improve on an online/blended course design. To get the best out of this workshop, it is advisable to have your course site that you can review at the end of the workshop.
<br />The content of this course is based on four supporting pillars that are essential to a well-designed online/blended course:
<br />Pillar 1:
<br />The initial learner experience: strategies on how to prepare and orientate students to the new &ldquo;online&rdquo; learning environment.
<br />Pillar 2:
<br />Guiding students and their learning: strategies how to provide frequent meaningful and relevant learning opportunities to establish a learning community.
<br />Pillar 3:
<br />Accessibility, design and usability: Get insight on Universal Design for Learning and techniques for creating accessible content.
<br />Pillar 4:
<br />Course Evaluation: course participants will use the adapted Quality Matter Rubric to review their own online courses and develop a course improvement plan.
