WHAT YOU WILL COVER...
The Successful Virtual Classroom Course Design course covers these three popular modules from our instructional design programme:
VC02: Virtual Classroom Fundamentals
A virtual classroom shares many similarities with a physical one. But successful virtual classroom sessions are rarely about just shifting a classroom course lock, stock and barrel into a virtual environment.
This module covers some fundamental design principles and helps you understand how to:
- incorporate 4 key ingredients for virtual classroom success in your overall design
- avoid death by bullet points – use a smart combination of visuals and text in any visuals or PowerPoint slides, and
- successfully include a meaningful focus on skills practice in your virtual classroom sessions.
VC03: Keeping It Interactive
If you’ve ever attended a webinar, you’ll know how easy it is to lose concentration or just get bored with what’s going on. Attention spans are generally shorter in the virtual classroom.
Meaningful collaboration and interactivity are critical to your virtual session’s success. This module covers:
- the key types of interaction and practice you should consider for your virtual classroom sessions
- how to successfully align these types with your learning goals, and
- the best approaches to building meaningful interactions and collaborative activities.
VC04 Designing a Virtual Session
Successful session design for the virtual classroom is highly dependent on having a robust, practical development framework to follow.
This module introduces a flexible, scalable framework and covers how to apply this framework so you can:
- clearly analyse the purpose of your content and its likely complexity
- determine an overall structure and flow for your session, and
- design an appropriate mix of activities that sit within that overall structure and flow.
