session 5

Course Content Characteristics:

I would like to design an online course, in this course will teach students the Characteristics in an online class to make them able to design an online course in the future. Students in this course are in college and adult student who have experience of using some technology tools. Students will learn about the Characteristics

in online classes. Students will also learn about how to use new technology tools. This course will be totally online class. In this class we will use instructor website and each students should have blog. And communication ways will be blog and email. I will use the two kind of e-learning (instructor-lead or learner –led)
because I believe that “ many e-learning course deliberately shift from instructor-led to learner-led during the progress of the course” (Horton,p .362) In the first classes I will use prod cast and power points (instructor-lead), and in end of the course the students will know the how important of the Characteristics to design their online class in the future (learner-led). Also I will mixture of Synchronous or asynchronous activities. I will blend the learning like what William Houston said in his book, I would use websites, books, broadcast and PowerPoint. Also the technologies that will use are the favor technologies that are reliable and available to many learners. The task of this course is combining between convergent and divergent. The student may face problem with some new technology tools that they don’t deal with it before, in this issue student will found many links suggest and explain some tools that can help the students in the syllabus at the instructor website. The course content and students needs that will be the most salient characteristics of the content that I believe will impact my design. The course material will be use in many times through the week. This course will save the student’s time, energy and money, they don’t need to come to the class because this course is totally online. And if they have any problem they can contact with the instructor by his email. Also students will found every link that need it in the syllabus for example, blog links and some technology tools. This course does not require the student to buy any website. Students need to access through the instructor website and found the prod cast lecture in each week lesson and will found also some links to Skype and every students’ blogs.

The content characteristics lead me to use good tools in this course for example; pod cast, PowerPoint, give the student’s good links.

Instructor Characteristics

The instructor in this course has good skills in technology and online teaching experience. He has prior online teaching experience. Also the instructor is very familiar with the content, and he has different degrees in tech skills and online teaching experience. The structure is fixable with content and he can change it baisdon on student needs. The instructor always tests the content including the tools for example: pod casts, links, video and audio and make sure every thing works before represented to the student. The instructor checks his email every day and give the students feedback very quality. Also he make sure to check the students post every week and give them feedback and focus to develop the students technology skills by give them a new tools every week to use it.

The instructor characteristics lead you to test my content many time to make sure in every thing before deliver the course.

Student Characteristics

All students in this course are college freshman and sophomores with good technology skills and each has successfully taken an online course. There are 9 students in this course. The students in this class should be self-motivated. Also they should be ready to work and learn. They understand the importance of learning the material presented and how this knowledge will not only be useful this course but in classes they plan to take in the future. The most of the students would have experience with technology.

For the student to student interaction, the blogs is will be the best tool. That way all of the students can read other students postings and make comments.

The student characteristics lead me to use design the course in what are student needs and what their background of using technology.

session 4

Instructional Design For Online Learning Assignment

1. How can good instructional design ensure that the course meets student needs?

The students who take the online class usually he takes it because of the asynchronous learning environment. They may be have work and they can attend a traditional class on particular days and times because of that the online class should allow asynchronous learning. That mean the class should not required the students to be online at the same day every week. The class should be flexible and the important synchronous discussion only is in sometimes meeting. Students should have 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to finish their assignment. Also the good instructional design can ensure that the course meets student needs in many ways first, the good instructor always needs his student’s feedback about the learning experience in courses. When the feedback is negative the instructors should be flexible and fax any raising problems wail keeping the project on track. Second,the good instructor always want make sure his students understand his lecture by give them question in blackboard or by email. third, the good instructor try to make every student active in his blogs by ask him to add every post weekly, and also make comment in other student blogs.


2. How can good instructional design ensure course quality?

The good instructional design should do like what William Horton said, “design first and then pick your tool. If you have already selected a tool to create and administer test, do not moan, groan, or whine.” (p.284) In this chapter, there are many good points that can help the instructional design ensure course quality and he focus on the test.
Also, the instructor should test his course tools in deference computer to make sure every thing is clear and work. The good instruction design should focus in many things to make ensure about course quality, first, the course should have Interaction between the students with each other and between the student and the teacher also the course should be easy to use by students.
second, the good instructor asks his students to give hem feedback about the learning experience in the course. third, the Instructional design can ensure course quality by student answer for the their homework or the student comments with each other in our blogs he should make sure that all students are on the same track.
