well i have been looking on the wiki that Rachel set up for us for our constructing course, and thanks rachel its great,only problem i am having now is that i have logged on and am looking for the comments i put on there the other day, and i really cant find them? I have been talking to Terry and he has clarified a few things for me, thanks Terry, I have been doing some readings on the Theoretical perspective of the course i am to construct, the learning outcomes, the initial task to clarify the nature of this course, how will this connect with other services, and now i am going to explore other courses to help me.
I am seriously looking at doing just an update of plain old Word or Excel for students who are just learning. dont know yet, but do know i need to get my thinking cap on shortly as Novemeber is not too far away.
Learning Outcomes
Learning outcomes are statements that specify what learners will know from the learning activity i am going to construct. This will usually happen from skills, attitude and knowledge of the course. Learning outcomes are provided by directional planning of the activity in the course. This will serve as a guide line to instruction, the content and the evaluation of the course. Know what specifically I want my students to learn and to know what should be accomplished.
There will need to be an education need, which is what students should do for themselves, for their employment, or just for social skills.
Who is my target audience
What is their level of learning
What are the most essential parts of the course that they will need to know or do
What skills do they need to know before being able to do the course
Will they be able to follow this knowledge on in their workplace, or home situation
What do they do with this once the course is finished
