Course Activities
I want to experience the concepts we've been exploring through reading.
I need to be able to actually "do it," not just answer questions on an exam.
I need practice to apply these skills I'm learning.
Although students may not express these ideas in writing, most learners want more from a course than readings and tests. They expect to be able to perform, create, and apply course knowledge and skills.
Ask Yourself:
How will students explore course content, become actively involved in this content, practice new learning, and share their understandings?
Active learning is essential in online courses. Students must be engaged in the content. Focus on assignments that involve critical and creative thinking.
