13 VIII. Best Practices 1. Develop a course roadmap This will help you identify the essential components for your course. Key questions for developing course roadmap What elements of this course are well suited for the internet? Is there a need for additional multimedia materials (video, audio, etc.)? Who s my audience? Keep in mind that when it comes to the Internet, students come with a variety of experiences and levels of technological understanding. How will students connect to the Internet? This greatly influences the speed at which students can download pages or video clips. Should I use scheduled events (e.g. chat) that may be influenced by time zone differences? Do I have a well developed plan for the Integration of Faith and Learning? Adapted from Educational Technologies at Missouri, [Online] Available: [February 4, 2009]. 2. Develop an online syllabus Syllabus must comply with the university/school/department standards Instructor s contact information must be clearly stated name, telephone number, address, and office location. Syllabus must include the following: o Orientation to Distance Learning, o Clearly stated expectations including due dates, o A link to the Andrews Library o Objectives that match the class, department, school, and university missions 13 P age
14 3. Develop the look/feel of the course This is to help you keep the course visually appealing and acceptable. Key questions for creating the look/feel Is the page layout easy to follow? Develop the course into units or weeks. How many fonts are being used? Use no more than two. What is the color scheme that is being used? Too much color will cause confusion. It is important not to use many colors as this will distract from the message that is being sent. Does the course have a visually appealing news items and content area? Is the course free of spelling and grammatical errors? 4. Develop a plan for survival - This will help you get your class started and moving efficiently. Key Tips Post a welcome to the class and let the students get to know you. A video welcome is the best Get assignments and grade book completed Test the function that you plan on using to make sure that all the students are able to communicate with you Keep active in the class. Especially as the class begins, you need to post and respond to students Set aside certain times for responding to the students Create online office hours and stick to them Post to the group or give a general response to the class as a whole, instead of each student s post Model the behavior you expect from your students Post final grade as soon as possible Adapted from Educational Technologies at Missouri, [Online] Available: [February 4, 2009]. 14 P age
15 5. Create a community with learners Have students post introductions about themselves in the discussion area. Allow time for students to reflect on their own learning. 15 P age
