  1. Strategies for e-Learning Success Aimee Guerin Northcentral University

  2. Planning, Planning, Planning • Why plan? • Planning and organization are central to all teaching, but they are especially important when teaching at a distance (Simonson, Smaldino, Albright, & Zvacek, 2012).

  3. Key Elements of Planning • Instructional design • Systemic planning • Evaluation

  4. Instructional Design / Systemic Planning • How does one effectively redesign a course for online delivery? • Identify the course elements / content. • Organize the topics into modules. • Create a set of measureable objectives for each module. • Determine what the learner and instructor will do to accomplish these objectives. • Select appropriate tools for delivery and interaction (student-content, student-student, student-instructor). • Determine the assessment tools and techniques.

  5. Evaluation • How does one effectively determine the quality of an online learning environment? • Build evaluation into the planning process by using a program such as Quality Matters.

  6. Evaluation • What is Quality Matters? • Quality Matters (QM) is a program based on research literature and national standards of best practice. • E-Learning institutions and instructors can develop courses according to QM standards. • QM provides a peer-review process for quality assurance and continuous improvement in e-learning courses. • An e-Learning course can be submitted for a formal QMpeer-review. • E-Learning courses that complete this process are QM certified, assuring a high level of quality.

  7. Quality Matters Standards • What are the Quality Matters Standards? • Standard 1: Course Overview and Introduction • Standard 2: Learning Objectives (Competencies) • Standard 3: Assessment and Measurement • Standard 4: Instructional Materials

  8. Quality Matters Standards • Standard 5: Learner Interaction and Engagement • Standard 6: Course Technology • Standard 7: Learner Support • Standard 8: Accessibility

  9. E-Learning Challenges • Evaluating the Instructor • Knowing the Learner

  10. E-Learning Development Resources • The Sloan Consortium (http://sloanconsortium.org/) • Sloan-C effective practices • EDUCAUSE (http://www.educause.edu/) • Quality Matters Rubric for Online and Hybrid Courses (www.QualityMatters.org) • Bates 12 “Golden rules” for the use of technology in education (in Simonson, et al., 2012, p. 172) • Canvas (www.instructure.com) • PunyaMishrya (http://punya.educ.msu.edu/) • TECH21 (www.tech21.org)
