Online Learning Course Design: Student Preferences

Just finished grading one batch of assignments and thought I would do a bit of Googling to find some relevant research regarding online course design before my upcoming Zoom lecture.

During this time of Covid 19, a lot of us have been extremely busy in converting face-face courses to hybrid or online formats. Sometimes, it is difficult to avoid "dumping" PowerPoints and notes used in a face-face class into an LMS, especially when working under time constraints.

My search yielded some good results. One of which is this graphic regarding student preferences in online course modalities.

I've been a big proponent of incorporating multimodal and microlearning activities in my online courses. I know these can be time-consuming to produce, but the payoff in student learning is (in my opinion) worth it.

Please take a look and share if you'd like. There is a link to the image at the bottom as well.

Take care and be safe,

Dr. Bruce Forciea

Ptable- An Interactive Periodic Table for Teachers and Students

Ptable is an interactive periodic table that works on both desktop and mobile device. Chemical elements on Ptable are organized by atomic number, properties, and electron configuration. Each element on this periodic table is outsourced to Wikipedia for more information. Some of the cool features provided by Ptable include a Time machine which allows users to go back in time and explore the elements discovered during that year. An Isotope view which once chosen overlays selected or all known isotopes for a given element. A compound tab that provides information regarding the possible compounds elements form, and many more. Ptable also provides "complete orbital readout for each element's ground state, quantum numbers, oxidation states, and diagram following Hund's rules. Hover over each electron pair for a 3-D view of that orbital that you can drag to rotate or hover over the element to view its highest occupied atomic orbital.". As for the structure of the data, u...
