- The university has given every professor and student an account for the web-conferencing program Zoom, Doherty said. The biggest wrinkle: “This presumes that everyone has the internet where they are. And broadband.”
- Internet access may be a challenge, especially for students and faculty members in small cities and towns, where service can slow when everyone is trying to use videoconferencing at once, said Daniel Stanford, director of faculty development and technology innovation at the DePaul University Center for Teaching and Learning.
- Stanford also worries about how to replicate the learning formats, such as laboratory work, in which being physically present is central to the experience.
- Another question is institutional capacity. Are colleges generally prepared to support thousands of instructors’ moving quickly from in-person to online teaching?
- “In a word, no,” said Flower Darby, director of Teaching for Student Success at Northern Arizona University. “I don’t think most institutions are equipped to handle a situation such as this, in which more demands are made of the technological infrastructure and you need a lot of qualified people to help.”
- While people are rallying to share resources and support, she noted that on many campuses teaching centers may be small operations. “Broadly speaking, at public institutions there are not enough support folks in general,” she said. She fears that, in an emergency, faculty members “will be thrown into the deep end of the pool.”
- She and her colleagues are also concerned that if the transition to online teaching is rushed, it could have long-term effects on how professors view teaching remotely. “We don’t want to get the idea that this is what effective online education looks like,” she said. “Moving online with inadequate support is a short-term solution.

The 2020 Educause Horizon Report, Teaching and Learning Edition | Learning Innovation
- Included among the trends discussed in the report are social (wellness, demographics, equity); technological (AI, digital platforms, analytics); economic (postsecondary costs, worker demand and skills, climate change); higher education (demographic headwinds, alternative pathways, online learning); and political (public disinvestment, declining support, polarization).
- From the foundation of these trends, the report analyzes the impact of six emerging technologies and practices for teaching and learning. These include adaptive learning platforms, analytics, instructional designers, OER and XR
- integration of the trends and technologies/practices into the development of four scenarios for the future of teaching and learning. These scenarios are written from the perspective of a 2030 observer. They include an optimistic "growth" scenario and a realistic "constraint" scenario, a pessimistic "collapse" scenario and an imaginative "transformation" scenario.
- international effort built on peer collaboration and expert contribution
- I'm also surprised that the report did not delve deeply into the expansion of low-cost online programs at scale and their impact on traditional master's programs.
- Learning designers, more than ever before, are being seen as leading experts in teaching and learning on their campuses. They are shifting from service/support roles to being seen as essential collaborators on the design of learning experiences

Module 5:Producing a Culturally-Appropriate Educational Video
- Choose metaphors that will be effective in demonstrating message.
- Clarity of the actors’ speech and diction are extremely important to the film's ability to convey complex ideas.
- Attention should be paid to creative filming, using point-of-view shots, close-ups, and traveling shots to make the video a dynamic film rather than a static documentary.
- Musical score of the film should incorporate a combination of sources. Music plays a variety of important roles in many cultures.
- Focus on showing rather than telling. It is more effective to use a dynamic plot than a monologue
- Use actors that look and speak like the patients viewing the video. This increases the likelihood of audience comprehension makes it more realistic and plausible to patients who have similar lives to the viewer.
- Ensure that local humor is utilized, as this can make a video much more interesting and memorable to viewers.
- Music often plays a key component in many cultures.
- Use of repetition reinforces key ideas and improves likeliness that they will be remembered.

Introducing Digital Credentials to Universities | The EvoLLLution
- other non-credit awards, which can be sent directly to employers and shared on LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook.
- We’re simply taking existing non-credit courses and programs, and conveying their learning outcomes digitally. This way the student can leverage it as currency.
- It circles back to challenges universities face with non-credit courses in general. They view these as “training” or somehow “lesser than” traditional offerings. I wanted enough evidence to show my academic partners and leaders that digital credentials offer a great alternative to provide information.

Learner Personas for Instructional Design
- learner personas i
- Creating personas can help designers become more aware of their audience
- developing personas helps to formalize the models so they can be documented, shared and used throughout the design process.
- The most effective personas are going to emerge out of an audience analysis that includes interviews and real conversations with sample audience members as well as supervisors and stakeholders in the training.
- Give this person a name and borrow traits from real individuals of the group if you were lucky enough to hold interviews. Describe your persona’s demographics, job responsibilities, motivations for taking the training, experiences at work, attitude toward online learning, skill and educational levels and so on.
- you should have several personas that provide a tangible sense of your audience members
- Keep the personas in mind throughout design and development as though they are someone you know.
- Try to have conversations with sample members of your audience groups. Even a few conversations can help you remember the individuals behind the persona
- Ensure the use of personas helps your team personalize and customize the design
- Watch that stereotypes and social judgments don’t slip into your personas.
- Build empathy for the audience groups.
