What is this about?
Building a course in MOLE is easy, or is it? MOLE has many features that can enhance the student learning experience; courses can be rich and engaging, interesting yet easy to navigate, dynamic and rewarding both to create and to study from but sometimes these features are overlooked. This workshop will begin building an evaluation framework surrounding the design and development of such a course. It will investigate best practice in four major areas:
- course design
- interaction and collaboration
- assessment and feedback
- learner support.
During this workshop, you will work with your academic colleagues from across the University to investigate the criteria surrounding best practice in designing and building online courses. The ultimate goal will be to identify and set out some of the key elements that deliver an exemplary course design that can be used to develop new and enhance existing courses in MOLE.
How will colleagues benefit?
By increasing the awareness that colleagues have regarding online course delivery, and by having a better understanding of the best practices that can guide the planning and creation of content in MOLE, we can help support the goal of delivering high quality undergraduate and postgraduate learning and teaching using MOLE as a platform.
Colleagues will benefit through taking a critical and reflective look at an in-depth example of interactive, experiential learning via online resources, and having time to compare this with their own learning and teaching interests and experiences. The session will include a wide range of practical illustrations from MOLE materials, with opportunities for participants to try out and comment on some learning activities from an online scenario themselves. The session will also offer an example of the ways in which archived MOLE discussion forum material can be analyzed qualitatively, as one strand in an evaluation.
