Session 10: Deliver

In ETEC 541 I learned many new,good and effective points that can help my in future as designer online course and also as an instructor.

I learned the following:

1- To create an effective online course we need to have good experiences designed.

2- Because there are many students in the course that mean we have different learning styles. In this case the designer needs to use multiple instructional methods.

3- The good instructor always makes sure the students reach their need by check their assignment weekly and give them an effective feedback.

4- The instructor need to give the students clear course for example: Dr. Newberry gives us clear points about what we need to do in each session and include the course word document and pod cast.

5- The instructor needs to give the students fast feedback about their works. For example: Dr. Newberry gives us our grades in each week with an effective comment on our assignment. Also he always answers our email in same day or day after we email him.

I use what I learned in this class to create my online course:

• I focused to use only free online course material I used Skype, free website to the course, ((scribd)) , Microsoft PowerPoint, also there are a word documents explaining each step of the method to solve every problem that may the student face it when they try to open the program or the PowerPoint.

• I tested my media to make sure every things work and clear, by asking several friends that close to me, to view the PowerPoint, syllabus and the documents before upload them in scribd website and also after I upload them too.

• After I upload all my media I will have some sample students try all the media in their place that they be upload the media for example, at home, work, university etc.

• I will ask these students about the problem that may be face it when they view the materials, for example: download speeds, the clear of the color, clear of the words size, etc.

• I will have some sample students try to view the media in different kind of computer, such as, Vista, Windows XP, and Macintosh. And I will take note if they face any problem I will fix it to make sure the desired students learning outcomes are being met.

• I tried to give a clear direction on what students need to do before each session and use step by step to show student what they need to do in each assignment.

• The delivery methods that I used in my online course for Communication

1. Email and blog (Asynchronous)
2. Videoconferencing by using Skype program (Synchronous)
