Week 2 Ch.2 ko & rossen Ch. 3 Ternus, palmer, & faulk (resource) Lane (resource)	Institution resources Systemic focus Course design and development BLENDED COURSES Good to have available in blended course Compare & Evaluate Two Online Courses:	What is already in place? Online courses, which ones? Who teaches them? What software tools do they use? Who developed the course?  How long to develop? Policy for those who want to teach? Restrictions for percentage of online time? Synchronous versus asynchronous policy? Trainings? Who trains? Student orientation/technical support? Software/hardware –access, management, and support. Network supports. File selection- All materials should be in LMS so that once accessed student doesn’t need material or software search.  Will students be internet ready? Teacher must consider availability when traveling. Tech support? When is it available? Free sites and open source software development. Reminder: no one knows everything-learn. Blended courses use the web to complement what they already do. Full online involves recasting shape of class in the online environment. Course management software, emails, resources, face to face feedback. Online collab for face to face projects. Case studies in the forum. I could do sentence analysis for my Spanish class.required response to peers.  Based on Face to face notes.alot of visuals examples to start well. Be available.rubrics for clarity. Some choice in assessment. Text message communication. Syllabus/goalsobjective/assignments/required readings/quizzes/papers/projects/policies/notes/lecture slides/audio or video materials/resource sites/graphics What you have students do with these is more important than their digital existence. Blooms taxonomy for objectives –but remember it all comes back to what they learn and how they show they learned it. Text – read not listened to. Readability.headings italics and colors. Narrated slides/audiovideo/screencast- no long pause on slide.voice color.Graphic enhancements. Transcripts or summaries. Simulations –copies/dvd. Interactions-  synchronous or asynchronous. Timing for student and learning goals.  This was a great activity. I have alot more focus on what will be beneficial for my purposes. I also have some evaluation materials for my online courses.
