Producing Digital Content


 
 
 
 
 
Final Segment to Online Teaching Certificate

     This segment of the online teaching certification program is producing digital content is what I have been waiting. At the conclusion of this course I expect to be able to compile all the components of an online course together and set up course structure on the learning management systems (LMS), blackboard.

     Learning to use LMS’s tools is very important to successful creation and delivery of course materials. So my hope is that the LMS tools are not very technical and I am able to quickly grasp hoe to effectively utilize them.

     Having a well-designed course is only half the battle. The course has to be constructed to facilitate student engagement. Upon completion of this course I want to have a clear concept of how to engage students and make the overall learning experience for the students and myself a positive one.

    Interactive is a keyword with online class development. Having interaction in face to face for me is easily accomplished.  To accomplish this feat in the online environment can be a bit challenging. Designing interactive components is integral to the design. The process has begun but needs to be perfected by the end of this course. I am excited to be reaching the climax of online teaching certification.
