OT301-Post 4

Hi there,

Here is the summary of my interview for a course that had continuous enrolment, and was self-paced asynchronously:

How was the course designed and laid out to help wth engagement?

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.

I like the idea of short anime films followed by a short polling question and space for comments/responses; like a discussion board.

It would interesting to have guest speakers recorded too!

Best,

Manu
