1. Select a topic from the ‘Topic’ dropdown list so you can work on developing the Activities and Content one Topic at a time
2. Add Activities to help Learners learn, reinforce, recall, and relate Topic to real-world examples
Pro Tip:
* To help Learners with engagement and retention, attempt to increase the ‘Learner Effort’ as you move through the module. The higher the 'Effort value’, the higher the level of learning.
* To learn more, see and the .
* Add some ‘Activity Notes’. Here’s where you can describe Learner options for in-person, participate via video, or watch recorded session.
* To learn more about hybrid learning solutions, check out this developed after the COVID-19 impact on learning experiences.
We’re ready to add the ‘remote’ and ‘asynchronous’ learning options for all our Activities, if applicable.
1. Use the following worksheet to design a few Remote options (’live’, online video/video interactions) & Asynchronous options (online, but on-demand) options for each Activity.
Pro Tip: This requires a bit of a mindset-shift, so check out the ‘Additional Resources’ page for some inspiration. To learn more, and .
2. Use the ‘Comments’ section to ask other co-creators for feedback and ideas on a particular Activity. Pro Tip: Use the in the Comments field to tag other members on the team to message them about something specific directly on each Topics page.
Now is a good time to take a look at the draft of your Design Plan to check the following:
Are the Topics sequenced in a logical way? Do they flow well? If something’s missing, go back to to work on the Topics
Are there too many Activities (or too few) planned for each Session, given the time allotted.
Pro Tip: Some universities use the following guideline:
* 50-min for classes that meet 3 times/week
* 75-min for classes that meet 2 times/week
* 2h 45min for classes that meet once/week
Is there a good mix of ‘Activity Types’ in each Session? Do the Activities require more 'Effort’ as Learners move along. Go back to Step #1 above ☝️ if you need to move Activities around.
Are the Lecture & Video Content pieces broken up into small enough chunks—of no more than 6 minutes? If so, how can you break them up?
