Hi there,
Here is the summary of my interview for a course that had continuous enrolment, and was self-paced asynchronously:
- the topics of discussion and/or questions asked
How was the course designed and laid out to help wth engagement?
- answers, solutions, suggestions or other advice given/ 2 things I learned that worked!
Many pre-recorded lectures with live student dialogue also recorded. Short anime films to capture pivot concepts followed by a short voting poll and comments on it. Another tip was a self-test after each taped lecture to ensure key concepts were understood. And finally 3 major quizzes that were graded by teaching assistants and a final exam also graded by assistants.
One really neat idea was having global conversations by Skype with students from around the world on contentious topics, such as abortion.
- how you might use what you have learned in your courses;
I like the idea of short anime films followed by a short polling question and space for comments/responses; like a discussion board.
- any other thoughts or questions that you think are relevant.
It would interesting to have guest speakers recorded too!
Best,
Manu
