Design and implementation[edit]
- Target learners - I suggest including learning designers/developers as well as teachers in the target learners - some larger institutions, especially in tertiary sector, may have a dedicated person to put course materials online.
- Blog - require WordPress.com, not Blogger or other platforms, so that learners become familiar with WP. (Unless use COL or other specific WP server, as suggested further down.)
- Learning contract - what penalties will there be for learner and/or supervisor if learner doesn't engage? (Perhaps institution won't be able to enrol more learners in the course unless they demonstrate commitment in some way?). Require institutions to explain how learner will have time to study within the cohort period(with time release if necessary)?
Learning objectives[edit]
I would re-order these (and the learning content) so that H5P comes after the learner has thought about the sequencing and the activities that fit into that - so they are led by the principles and not the tool. I suggest this order:
- Wiki skills
- Use social media (because have to do this from very beginning)
- Storyboard
- Sequence and chunk
- Integrate pedagogical elements (does this mean learning activities?)
- H5P
- Publish learning sequence
- Reword the H5P one to 'Design and publish selected H5P...'.
- Add something like 'apply best practice for online security and interpersonal communication on a shared professional platform'?
Course prerequisites[edit]
- Above (Design and implementation considerations) it sounds as if completion of the whole of DS4OERS is required - here the requirement is less. Need to be consistent.
Course outline[edit]
- Under Select design project, do they have to select OERu online content, or just OER?
- Neater to omit 'challenge' from Learning contract challenge as it is not really a challenge, so confusing.
- Require blog to be in WordPress (either .com or specific server)
- The Basic wiki skills' is confusing - looks like you need these before the course commences (for acceptance portfolio), but then it is first module in the actual course.
- As explained above, would re-order content to put H5P module later. Can include embedding H5P in the wiki in this module.
