Planning Online Learning + Online Learning Activities
‘Module 3: Planning Online Learning’ will explore the importance of planning online learning from a pedagogical perspective rather than a technology driven one. Careful planning is one of the most important aspects of teaching online, and success often depends upon taking the time to consider all of the different aspects of the online learning experience before you begin. The content and activities will explore the concepts of constructive alignment, choosing which aspects of a class are best done online or face-to-face, building digital literacy capabilities within your students, and examining your own motivations for wanting to teach online in the first place. ‘Module 4: Online Learning Activities’ will identify important considerations you need to keep in mind when developing online learning activities for your students. We will offer advice about how to plan an online activity, and help you think about which may be appropriate for your own students. When you are new to the process, understanding which online technology best supports different learning activities can be daunting. This module, along with a range of case studies, and activities, will explore the relationship between different technologies and specific activities in more depth.

Are you an educator? Have you ever wanted to understand more about how to design your class to make better use of educational technology – whether fully online or in blended contexts? Would you like to learn from those who have extensive practical experience with online technologies?
The Learning to Teach Online (LTTO) MOOC will help you develop a working understanding of successful online teaching strategies that you can apply in your own practice. The course is based upon the multi award winning open educational resource developed by Dr Simon McIntyre and Karin Watson.
Integrating online technologies into your teaching can be a challenging prospect, and it can be difficult to know how to approach it effectively for the benefit of both students and yourself. No one knows your own content and teaching strengths better than you, and the “one size fits all” formula doesn’t always suit everyone. No matter what type of technology you are interested in exploring or your level of experience, this course will help you draw on your teaching strengths and find the approach that is right for you, your students and your educational context.
This course will guide you through your journey of understanding how online technologies can enhance your course design. You will have the opportunity to develop your understanding of effective online teaching practices and their relationship to the use of different technologies. You will also be encouraged to progressively design and reflect upon your own online learning activity, assessment or resource for use in your own class if you choose to undertake the course assignments.

Engaging and Motivating Students + Evaluation Strategies
‘Module 7: Engaging and Motivating Students’ explores various strategies for engaging and motivating your students in a range of different online learning scenarios. It discusses the important roles that curriculum design, activity structure, the relevance of the chosen technology, and effective time management play in creating an enthusiasm for learning in your students. ‘Module 8: Evaluation Strategies’ examines the importance of evaluating your online teaching practice to ensure that it is effective, and to give you an opportunity to constantly improve. This is especially important when you are first developing an online teaching practice, or when you are trying something new for the first time. We will explore an evaluation strategy based upon four reflective angles: self reflection, peer observations, student feedback, and theory. The module also introduces the concept of learning analytics as an informative tool to enable up to the minute evaluation of your online class.

Frequently Asked Questions about Html

What is HTML, and why is it important to learn?
HTML, or Hypertext Markup Language, is the building block of the World Wide Web. Created in 1993, HTML provides web browsers with instructions on how to display web content including text, graphics, and links to other web pages. As such, HTML and the cascading style sheets (CCS) that govern design elements such as layouts, fonts, and colors are fundamentally important to structuring our daily online experiences across nearly 1 billion web pages (and counting!).
Just as today’s internet is vastly more complex than the internet of the 1990s, coding in HTML has become much more sophisticated. For example, responsive web design must ensure that pages display properly whether users access them on desktop computers, tablets, or mobile devices. Similarly, web accessibility requires pages to be designed to meet the needs of users with visual, audial, and cognitive impairments. JavaScript has also emerged as an important tool for creating interactive web experiences and applications to drive user engagement.
WYSIWYG (“what you see is what you get”) services like Wix and Squarespace allow users without HTML skills to create simple websites based on pre-existing templates. However, web development professionals must be fluent in the latest tools including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript to have the granular control over design elements and functionality required to create high-quality web pages to meet specific client needs.

What kinds of careers can I have with a background in HTML?
The seemingly infinite growth of the World Wide Web has created steady demand for skilled web developers to design and build websites for all types of business, government, and other clients. These professionals frequently have skills in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript as well as graphic design in order to make pages that are both functional and attractive.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), web developers can get started with just a high school diploma or associates degree, although many have bachelor’s degrees. With a median annual salary of $73,760 and jobs in this field expected to grow “much faster than average” according to BLS, this field offers the opportunity to earn a good salary in a fast-growing industry regardless of your educational background.

Online Assessment Strategies + Online Resources
‘Module 5: Online Assessment Strategies’ discusses the notions of formative and summative assessment in online contexts. We will also explore benefits and considerations that you’ll need to keep in mind if you’re considering adopting an online assessment strategy in your own teaching, and how using technology can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the assessment process. ‘Module 6: Online Resources’ discusses the benefits of using open educational resources (OER), and other online resources in your classes. We will also identify issues to be aware of when using resources that you discover, in terms of licensing and Creative Commons. You will be given the chance to explore several examples of online resources via the activities and associated resources for the module. How to evaluate the effectiveness and appropriateness of resources you find online is also explored.

Why is Online Teaching Important + Open and Institutionally Supported Technologies
‘Module 1: Why is Online Teaching Important’ is about understanding where you are in the current educational landscape, and determining where you want to be. We will explore why online teaching is relevant to your teaching practice, and you’ll have an opportunity to reflect upon the opportunities and challenges you face in your own context. ‘Module 2: Open and Institutionally Supported Technologies’ focuses on helping you understand the benefits and restrictions of both broad categories of technologies. We’re all familiar with different social media technologies, and many of us will be aware of larger institutional online learning systems. In this module we will ask you to think about the reasons why you might want to use freely available online tools for your teaching — or your institution’s learning management system. Important considerations such as which types of technologies are suitable for a range of different activities will also be explored.
