What are the student learning outcomes of your class sessions?

How do students typically learn during your in-class meetings? What are your desired outcomes for each class session? What are successful students able to measurably do after a given session?

  • Do you typically provide content, explanations, or clarifications through lectures?
  • Do students engage content through large or small group discussion?
  • Do students learn from each other through student presentations?
  • Do students spend class time practicing skills or hands-on exploration?

Once you know what student learning experiences you need to facilitate online, decide whether synchronous or asynchronous options suit your needs.

Once you know what student learning experiences you need to facilitate online, decide whether synchronous (real-time or live) or asynchronous options suit your needs. Below is an explanation of the pros and cons of synchronous or asynchronous activities. Step 2: Strategies is full of strategies for how to accomplish these tasks. Also, feel free to contact Mark Henderson and the Online Learning Office for assistance in thinking through how your unique course outcomes can be met online.

Now that you have thought through whether you need synchronous (real-time or live) or asynchronous options, go to Step 2: Strategies to work on what needs to be put on your Moodle course site. Step 3: Resources gives a list of articles that may be helpful as well as an overview of our technology tools.

titleHow should I notify my students of course changes?

Once you have moved your content to your online course and updated your syllabus, please notify your students of the changes.

You can use either Moodle Quickmail or your UNW Outlook email for communicating with your students. Moodle Quickmail will allow you to easily send a message to the email accounts of all of your students at once. Moodle Quickmail will have your Moodle course enrollment easily accessible.

You may use the Announcements forum on your Moodle course site in addition to Quickmail or email, but be aware that students may have Moodle notifications turned off and may not see an announcement posted in the Announcements forum.
