Week 11: 3/16 - 3/22 - J: Reading to Facilitate

Week 11: 3/16 - 3/22 - J: Reading to Facilitate

I found this to be a very enriching discussion the group was able to apply Benders reading to the self paced instructions that they were creating. I felt that my contribution to the discussion actually led to the success of the theme. As you read through h you can see the common thread in regards to short “snappy” content my comment:
Keep it simple
When you are working by yourself simple complications become a big deal sometimes and can cause one to get
frustrated.
My course is an introduction, just a basic course, that will hand hold the learner through. I have may introduce a
community of practice at the end of the course to invoke discussion after the fact but that will be it for frills.
There will be a small branching aspect to the course since I will be using SCORM 1.2 to track progress. So each
section will be its own sco. What this does for me is it will allow the learner to take a break and come back if they
need more time to finish the section.
Otherwise click next and you are on your way.
Adds to this by allowing the student to keep it simple and allow the learner to come and go as they please but allow for there status to be tracked so they do not have to do it again. Now out of my initial comment the discussion of SCORM was introduced. I felt that Dena and I were able to give some basic understanding on what SCORM is and how it might apply. Now you can see some different thoughts around the use of SCORM or even if is necessary which made the discussion pretty powerful.
