12d – Virtual Campus

Here we intend to guide you through the total process of design, development and delivery of the learning experiences. You will be guided through the various elements of a module that is developed on an e-learning platform. We will use examples from modules developed on CANVAS and throughout, you will be prompted to develop your own online module as we go through the process. You will also be introduced to a suitable online module quality assessment rubric

INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN CRITERIA TWO

We have so far covered the Instructional Design Criteria 2.1. We shall now look at Criteria 2.2 in detail
CRITERIA 2.2 Incorporating Learning Objectives and Narratives
- Topics must contain learning objectives and a cohesive module narrative. The purpose of all instructional material must be made very clear
- Each topic shall contain learning objectives describing outcomes that are measurable and consistent with the overall topic-level objectives.
- Content and activities must be tied together by a topic narrative in which both the instructional materials and how those materials are to be used for learning activities are clearly explained
- Instructional materials and learning activities must contribute to the achievement of the stated topic and topic learning objectives or competencies
Elements That Affect presenting ELOs and narratives

We will now look at the various elements that will contribute to the effectiveness of your presenting ELOs and Narratives

Assignment Directions

Assignment directions and guidelines should contain expected submission formatting requirements, naming conventions, rubrics or grading expectations, citation requirements, and the specific tool students should use to submit the assignment. Its great to add quizzes to check on important concepts studied in the topic asking whether student understood it or not

An Example of an Assignment Direction

Topic Narrative

The topic should be presented with a creative topic narrative, capturing students’ attention and tying topic activities, assignments, and objectives together to create a unified experience. You must attempt to create an engaging and personal experience by injecting the narrative with unique experiences and expertise that go beyond topic facilitation

An Example of a Topic Narrative

Topic Introduction

This should include a welcome to the topic message, a summary of what material or information will be covered, and topic-level objectives. Topic introductions in video format are a great way also to include instructor presence. You may also articulate the length of each topic and give key insights to look out for.

An Example of a Topic Introduction

Topic Conclusion

Topic conclusion includes a summary of the topic and works to explain to students how the topic’s content contributes to the large class conversation. Pulling out key conversations, questions, or other dynamic student-driven content to highlight can enhance your topic conclusion

An Example of Topic Conclusion

Objective Correlation

All Topics have must have listed objectives which clearly correlate to a topic goal or objective. Ideally all assignments and activities must be clearly correlated to a topic learning objective and tied to an overall module objective or goal.

An Example of Objective Correlation

A Final Word.

You may not be able to have all elements of OBJECTIVES AND NARRATION, equally well developed. However, you must put your best effort to get maximum possible done. We will now move on to CRITERIA 3.
