More About This Course

This course is a 6-week discussion-session where you come back together with other participants to synthesize and report back on what you have learned throughout the program. In PP 200, you apply the theory and pedagogy learned in PP 100, two content and two general online teaching courses, and develop your own sample online course, such as a lesson or module of a course that you would present yourself. The instructor provides feedback and guidance on online course development, and your final project is reviewed by other participants and the instructor for effectiveness and appropriate use of technology to achieve your course objectives.

What Will I Learn?

  • Review of online learning and teaching in general.
  • Strategies for promoting student participation, communication, and collaboration.
  • Curriculum conversion for the online environment. (Specific segments will be targeted to participants interested in "blended" learning environments where courses taught use online learning blended with other formats, such as face-to-face.)
  • Creating tests and assessments.

Goals

  • Further experiment with different ways of creating or adapting content from your traditional classroom for your online course.
  • Work with a variety of media including web pages, sound recording, images, links to video and/or audio, embedded sound files, all online at a website or CMS.
  • Pursue software examined throughout the program to refine skills and techniques.
  • Demonstrate your knowledge of and ability to apply online teaching tools and strategies to effectively design and deliver an online course by creating a module or segment of an online course you would teach (final project).
