Course Design for Online Teaching
During this Course Design online class I learned to apply instructional design principles by designing, managing and facilitating a new online course using the Coursesites Learning Management System (LMS) . The course I created was “Managing the NWSA Website.” This introductory online course provides hands-on, practical experience for the administrators of the NorthWest Sailing Association website. The website uses Joomla as its Content Management System (CMS). Administrators will gain competence as they interact with the features available within the admin area of the development website.
As the instructor for this course I kept the students in mind and clearly stated my expectations as I planned the course and the learning content. To assist the students in their learning I’ve included a To Do List, several rubrics and a few assessments. Online assessment tools were evaluated and applied to assignments by using the tools available in the LMS. Course materials were selected and appropriately used in regards to copyright and fair use as well as utilizing accessibility compliant learning materials.
