In an online lecture-based course (synchronous or asynchronous), the online instructor will typically record and post voice over lecture slides in the LMS, and a handful of check-in activities with learners to ensure that everyone is making sense of the concepts and content.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Learners may have online discussions, practice sets, or other homework assignments to complete. Learners in larger classes may also have the opportunity to attend office hours with you, or with a TA, to ask questions and go over challenging material.<\/p>\n
Create a module in your online learning management system (LMS) to contain and organize all the reading, videos, and related activities and interactions for the topic, week, or class session. Make sure to name the module and contents in a way that make them are easily recognizable to learners and that function as advanced organizers for the concepts, themes, or topics. Clearly outline the specific steps learners will need to complete. Consider what will they need to watch, read, complete, submit, or discuss, etc., and if the order of the activities is important, make sure that is clearly articulated.<\/p>\n
Build your video lectures using campus supported tools.\u00a0 Add those lectures to your course module. Keep the following tips in mind as you build your video lectures.<\/p>\n
Create quizzes to help students self-assess their comprehension. If there are typically independent homework assignments after the lecture, giving learners a way to check in and to make sure that they comprehended key lecture concepts, facts, themes, can be useful.<\/p>\n
Pro tip: <\/strong>Be sure to enable the feature that allows learners to retake the quiz multiple times, so they can check and recheck their comprehension.\u00a0 \u2014this practice encourages learners to go back to the lecture or reading materials to review any material that they may not have fully understood. Often textbook publishers have these questions ready for you to import into your course as test bank questions. These questions make excellent low-stakes quiz, or self-assessment questions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Create an “Ask a\u00a0 Question” discussion board forum in your LMS to provide a place for learners to ask questions, and to help and learn from each other. Encourage learners to use the discussion areas you create in the course for any of their public questions related to the lecture content, rather than opting for private individual communications with you. This will help you be more effective and efficient with responses, provide and opportunity for learners to assist each other, and make both questions and responses available to all learners.<\/p>\n Set up a synchronous room for virtual office hours, TA sessions, or other supplemental instructional sessions to assist, clarify, and answer any learner questions. Alternatively, you can also create a discussion forum in the LMS called “Talk with the Professor,” for example, to clearly direct learners to a space where they can have access to their instructor.<\/p>\n In an online lecture-based course (synchronous or asynchronous), the online instructor will typically record and post voice over lecture slides in the LMS, and a handful of check-in activities with learners to ensure that everyone is making sense of the concepts and content.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8158,"featured_media":10540,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[602,7,319,423,17,179],"tags":[593,87,592],"class_list":["post-9187","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","category-inspiration","category-instructional-design","category-presentation","category-resources","category-teaching-online","tag-adapting-lecture","tag-instructional-design-2","tag-lecture"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/online.suny.edu\/onlineteaching\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9187"}],"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=9187"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/online.suny.edu\/onlineteaching\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9187\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10543,"href":"https:\/\/online.suny.edu\/onlineteaching\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9187\/revisions\/10543"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/online.suny.edu\/onlineteaching\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10540"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/online.suny.edu\/onlineteaching\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9187"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/online.suny.edu\/onlineteaching\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9187"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/online.suny.edu\/onlineteaching\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9187"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/i> Step 4: Create an “Ask a Question” Discussion Forum<\/h3>\n
