Designing and Online Course has been a great experience. Overall, I believe my greatest takeaway is the respect I have for course design in general. Curriculum design is a huge task. Designing a course where learners engage in content in various ways is the key. We have to sometimes make predictions and guesses about how content will be perceived and be open to the fact that, it may need to be altered to meet the needs of our students. Assessments and objectives are the starting point. Knowing what skill, knowledge or attitude a student needs to walk away with creates a foundation for the course itself. Students must also be aware of these skills, knowledge and attitudes.
Throughout the course, I have built a social studies course that explores our expansion west. The United States has come a long way, and we still have other areas to work on. I have enjoyed creating a course that allows students to learn about the history of our country through various lenses and I cannot wait to see what they come up with in the process. I plan to make changes and learn more about online learning in my educational journey.
