Reflection
Thinking back on this course I have been able to learn so much which will assist me with properly designing online courses. I have many course in mind and this course has giving me the platform to be able to develop them with ease. With each course I must start with a list of objectives. This is information I want the student to learn while enrolled in the course. From there I will develop the course overview which includes the list of course objectives, the list of lessons that will be taught, the likely learners and if the course will be online or a hybrid course. Next I will develop the assessment worksheet in which I will map out what assessments will be used within each lesson. These are important so that the student understands what he or she is expected to learn and to also understand what the student has learned throughout the course. Next I will develop the design worksheet for each lesson. This will outline detailed information for me to consider in my design including course objectives, course content I will use, what course content will be used for which course lesson objective. I will then be considering the student interactions with the course material, other students, and with the instructor. I will also need to develop what type of projects I will use to engage my student with these interactions. Once this is complete I will be able to write my paper on the design. Until I am very familiar with completing this I will break this up into three sections, design considerations, assessments, and interactions. After I have complied all the information I need into the final paper, it will be ready to reviewed as a proposal for a potential online course.
During this course I have learned a great deal about the design process. I look forward to being able to design online courses for students both near and far.
