Pickett<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Getting off to a good start in any online course happens by design, not by accident. \u00a0&#8211; Alex<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 12px;\">The only assumption an online instructor should make is to assume the perspective of the online student to aid in the design of an online course. My best advice to all new online instructors is -\u201cAssume Nothing,\u201d &#8211; Alex<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 12px;\">A student that is not well-oriented to you, your course, your specific learning activities, and your expectations, will have confusion and many questions, will feel uncomfortable, and will be less apt to succeed in your online classroom. They will definitely not be satisfied with the online learning experience, nor will they be apt to report high levels of learning. Their confusion, questions, and discomfort will result in more work for you, your own dissatisfaction, and a crummy evaluation from the student. &#8211; Alex<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 12px;\">Say what you mean, and do what you say. You can run your class however you want, but you have to make absolutely clear to the students what you expect and how they can succeed in your course.- Alex<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 12px;\">If you try something and it doesn\u2019t work (or it breaks something)\u2026 Don\u2019t do that again.- Alex<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 12px;\">A well-designed course creatively leverages the options AND recognizes the limitations of the online learning environment.- Alex<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 12px;\">Good online instructional practices are independent of software.- Alex<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 12px;\">You are just going to have to trust me on this one, it will not be fun for you or your students to have you trying to develop the course and teach it at the same time. &#8211; Alex<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 12px;\">Developing a course for the first time takes a new online faculty person an average of 120 hours. Plan accordingly!- Alex<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 12px;\">If you have created PowerPoint slide presentations that you use in class to enhance your lecture, you may be tempted to simply post them on the web for your online students. Resist that temptation. \u00a0: )<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 12px;\">In an online course you need to create opportunities for your students to make their thinking\/learning visible. Make them do something! Think, engage, apply, defend, refute, report, self-assess.- Alex<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 12px;\">Learning as a social process. Online courses that are designed to promote a sense of class community, where there are ample opportunities for interaction and the social construction of knowledge, result in online teaching and learning communities of satisfied students and faculty. Think about the isolated learning experiences involved in a classic correspondence-type course\u2026 enough said.- Alex<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 12px;\">You can&#8217;t \u00a0recreate your traditional classroom course online. What you have to do is to reconceptualize how to achieve your instructional objectives in ways appropriate for the new kind of learning environment! &#8211; Alex<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 12px;\">For first time online faculty: Keep it simple. First make it work, then make it pretty. Commit to iterate.- Alex<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 12px;\">Online course design process: reflect, connect, organize, build refine, implement, Evolve&#8230;- Alex<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 12px;\">I would never discourage you from using tests online, as long as you know that the activity will be take home, open book, and potentially collaborative. But, if you try to implement a timed final MC exam online, and it is worth 25- 50% of the grade, you are missing something. . . Understand it for what it is, use it appropriately for the environment, and weigh it accordingly. &#8211; Alex<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 12px;\">The answer to life, the universe and everything is &#8230; instructional design. &#8211; Alex<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 12px;\">If you have no life because of your online course workload, you need to redesign your course. \u00a0&#8211; Alex<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 12px;\">Just because the course is online, does not mean that everything has to happen online. &#8211; Alex<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>Bill Pelz<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The best way to learn is to teach &#8211; Bill<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 12px;\">Grade the daily work! &#8211; Bill<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 12px;\">If you want your students to do the learning, then figure out how to get them to do the work.- Bill<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 12px;\">The best way to learn is to teach &#8211; Bill<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 12px;\">present. engage. assess. &#8211; Bill<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;An educated citizenry is a vital requisite for our survival as a free people.&#8221; &#8211; Thomas Jefferson<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8158,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[237,86,139,203],"class_list":["post-129","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-inspiration","tag-education","tag-inspiration-2","tag-quotes","tag-spotlight"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/online.suny.edu\/onlineteaching\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/online.suny.edu\/onlineteaching\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/online.suny.edu\/onlineteaching\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/online.suny.edu\/onlineteaching\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8158"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/online.suny.edu\/onlineteaching\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=129"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/online.suny.edu\/onlineteaching\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6806,"href":"https:\/\/online.suny.edu\/onlineteaching\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129\/revisions\/6806"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/online.suny.edu\/onlineteaching\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/online.suny.edu\/onlineteaching\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=129"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/online.suny.edu\/onlineteaching\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=129"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
