Today is the 75% completion date for your developments. I will be checking into your courses this week and giving you feedback on your development progress and answering any questions you might have. I also sent out the information about the Peer Advising process this morning via e-mail. Beginning May 5th peer advisors will be able to go into the courses you developed and provide you with constructive suggestions on your course shell.
I included you on the e-mail that I sent to the online instructors regarding peer advising and I would encourage you to take part in the peer advising process for a course you did not develop. It will give you insight into what the peer advisors will be looking for!
On May 11th I will be e-mailing you all of the feedback and at that time will have instructions on how to imcorporate the feedback into your course shell. Here are the questions the peer advisors will be answering:
- Do you feel that the content in the course is written at the appropriate level?
- Is the course split into manageable segments?
- Are visual and auditory stimuli used to motivate students?
- Are appropriate supplementary resources made available as part of the course content?
- Does the use of technology enable critical reflection and analysis of content?
- Do the assignments/activities that require the use of technology clearly explain how technology is to be used by the students?
- Do you believe the instructional strategies employed in the course cause students to be effectively engaged with the course content?
- Do you bleieve the expectations defining or explaining required levels of student participation are clear?
- Do you believe there is a deliberate attempt to create a learning community through the following methods: Discussions, E-mail, Chat Rooms, Videoconferencing, Group Projects, or other collaborative activities?
- Do you believe the assessments/assignments in the course are aligned with the stated objectives/learning outcomes?
