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
