  1. Designing Effective Online Instruction for K-12 Sheri Glew Walden University

  2. Design standards for K-12 online learning • What is the most effective use of technology for teaching K-5 students online? • What design principles should be followed to support cognitive learning? • What are the factors that most contribute to successful online learning for K12 students?

  3. Key Points • Importance of developing effective online material for K-12 students • There is a lack of research to guide teachers on best online teaching practices • Factors that influence student success are teacher readiness and student readiness for the online environment • Research studies have provided basic design principles for online curricula

  4. Scope of Online Learning in K-12 Over 1 Million students are currently enrolled in some form of online learning in K-12 schools Every state has some form of virtual school

  5. Studies Comparing Online Learning with Face to Face Learning • Online learning Versus classroom learning • Both achieve the same academic success • There have not been any empirical studies done to determine standards for professional development

  6. Teacher and Student Readiness • Good teaching principles apply anywhere • Teachers should understand the online tools and environment • Currently there are no standards to prepare teachers for online instruction • Students should understand information and communication technology (ICT)

  7. Solution for Research Based Design Principles • Deliver concepts in small bites • Create teacher and student communication opportunities • Allow students to drive their time and interaction with material • Develop reflection exercises for students

  8. Design Ideas Research has Proven False • Many researchers have hypothesized that the addition of images, graphics, audio, video or some combination would enhance student learning and positively affect achievement

  9. Conclusion: Follow Standard Design Principles • Follow the instructional design principles which best match the pedagogy of the program • Engage students • Call on prior knowledge • Provide activity for learning and practice • Provide assessment • Develop student reflection activity
