Moving From Face-to-Face To The Online Classroom—Creating Accessible And Engaging Learning Activities For All Learners

An item from SoftChalk that we received earlier in the week.

In the process of developing online courses with instructors, there are many challenges faced along the way. Many instructors have a hard time translating the creative and interactive activities they have built for their face-to-face classes to an online learning context and there is a large age, experience and cultural background variance within post-secondary students. Then comes the LMS. Because there are limited choices of activity templates many instructors focus more on providing a weekly schedule with readings and activities rather than creating complex and engaging experiences for substantive learning. In this article, Dr. Gulinna A and Seung Gutsch from Fort Hays State University share their experiences with these challenges and provide tips and examples of how they have been successful in overcoming them. This article is one of a series published in SoftChalk Talk, a blog covering timely issues related to all aspects of instructional design and published by SoftChalk LLC. Have a comment on this topic? Suggestions for future topics or interest in being a guest writer? Send me an email at natalie@softchalk.com. I look forward to hearing from you!
