The Learning to Teach Online (LTTO) MOOC is based upon the multi award winning open educational resource of the same name, developed by Simon McIntyre and Karin Watson. We have built upon these resources in this MOOC, supporting them with a course structure that puts them into a supportive framework for you all to help you find and connect with each other to share your own experiences in the Discussion Forums. This course is not intended as a comprehensive manual for online teaching. Rather, it is intended as a starting point to help you develop your understanding of the principles involved; a place where you can get advice about strategies you might try; and a means from which you can begin to build your confidence and capacity to continue the learning journey in your own contexts and practice. On successful completion of the course you should be able to: - Identify the importance and use of a range of online technologies in learning, teaching, and course design in contemporary education - Evaluate different course designs involving digital technologies and online learning activities appropriate for a range of teaching contexts - Demonstrate independent enquiry and reflective practice On successful completion of the the two Assignments, you will should be able to: Achieve all of the above learning outcomes plus: - Develop an evidence-supported argument for selecting particular technologies to support an online component of your own course - Design an online component of your class considering your local context, your curriculum, and the benefits and risks of online technologies - Develop evaluation and engagement strategies to ensure your students are engaged with your online course components and how you plan to evaluate the effectiveness of your online course design.

Engaging and Motivating Students + Evaluation Strategies

'Module 7: Engaging and Motivating Students' explores various strategies for engaging and motivating your students in a range of different online learning scenarios. It discusses the important roles that curriculum design, activity structure, the relevance of the chosen technology, and effective time management play in creating an enthusiasm for learning in your students. 'Module 8: Evaluation Strategies' examines the importance of evaluating your online teaching practice to ensure that it is effective, and to give you an opportunity to constantly improve. This is especially important when you are first developing an online teaching practice, or when you are trying something new for the first time. We will explore an evaluation strategy based upon four reflective angles: self reflection, peer observations, student feedback, and theory. The module also introduces the concept of learning analytics as an informative tool to enable up to the minute evaluation of your online class.

It's important after undertaking any new learning and

teaching strategy to know whether it's working or not.

>> This video will provide some suggestions on how

you might go about evaluating your own online initiatives.

Just like assessment it's important to think of evaluation as not something you

do at the end of the learning process, but something that you do throughout.

>> It's equally as important to

consider evaluation from multiple angles or perspectives,

such as your own self reflection, peer feedback, student feedback or a theory.

Will explore how you can use these angles in your

own practice to evaluate any teaching that you do online.

>> We'll explore how you can use these

angles in practice to evaluate your own online initiatives.

Self reflection.

Did your teaching strategy achieve the outcome you are expecting?

Is there something you would change next time to improve your practice?

Would you recommend your approach to a colleague?

Was the technology appropriate?

Peer feedback.

Have a colleague look at your redesign, activity, resource or assessment.

What feedback do they offer?

Student feedback.

Obtain feedback from your students.

This can be in various ways.

A short survey, part way through the learning

process, to inform any changes to your course.

Or, you could also conduct focus groups, to obtain some deeper

and richer feedback, that could inform your course design next time.

Theory and scholarship.

Explore the literature and educational technology, to

learn about how others have approached, not

only evaluating their online strategy, but how

the reported outcomes relate, to your own, experience.

While the four angles provide a holistic way of evaluating your online

initiative, they're primarily relying on self reported data or your own reflection.

>> Online technologies allow the possibility of exploring

objective data from students actual interaction with the technology.

>> Much the same way that a gas company can track

energy consumption in different cities so

that they can improve their infrastructure,

some online learning technologies that we use,

capture data about a student's online activity.

>> If you can have access to this type of data

you can start evaluating your online initiative using the objective data.

>> Analyzing this behavioral data from your students

learning informs your teaching and it's called learning analytics.

>> The Society of Learning Analytics and Knowledge defines

learning analytics as the measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of

data about learners and their context for purposes of understanding

and optimizing learning and the environments in which it occurs.

>> Many new versions of learning management

systems such as Moodle, Blackboard or Desire to

Learn, now provide you with the ability to

visualize and report your own students' online behavior.

Many open technologies also have these

features, such as YouTube, twitter, and Google.

>> This can help you know whether you need to intervene and assist

certain students, modify your learning and teaching

strategy, or whether your design is effective.

>> Explore the online technologies available at your institution to

see if there are any available learning [UNKNOWN] or reporting functionality.

That you can use to assist you with your evaluation.

>> Hopefully we've given you some ideas about

how to go about evaluating your own online initiative.

Think about the strategies introduced in this video

when evaluating the effectiveness of your own teaching.
