Course Development

Week's Summary:

This week we are learning about the supporting materials and visualization for distance learning course and the implementation phase of the ADDIE framework. When reading this week’s chapter you learn how to develop a distance education course syllabus, discuss the advantages of using an interactive study guide, apply graphic design principles, develop word pictures, and develop visual mnemonics. There are three parts to the implementation phase: training the instructor, preparing the learners, and arranging the learning space.

Item of Interest: 

This week my item of interest is definitely the website assignment that we will be working on next week. Ever since I first made my website in ED 305, I have enjoyed adding innovative elements to it. I enjoy how it lets me be imaginative and design it how I want it to appear to my viewers. This isn't even really a large portion of our grade (I believe), but I just really enjoy developing my website. I think this is great practice for when I become a teacher.

Problem or Concern:


Again this week I don't really have a problem or concern. Everything is falling into place and going pretty smoothly. If anything, I’m still deciding about which module on my course assignment to pick for assignment 2. I haven’t decided which one to choose yet.
