Chapter 7




In chapter 7 they discuss what it takes to create an online class. The site has to have several things in order to make it a successful course. These things are also needed in the regular classroom as well. The first thing it needs is form and function also known as usability and aesthetics. Users should be able to input information using several methods, use the site at their own pace, and easy for the user to correct any errors. The course should also have documents that students need to be able to access in order to know what the class is about and what is expected of them. Those items would be a syllabus, a lesson plan, and a study guide. The syllabus tells what the course is about, the lesson plan tells the students what is expected of them for each lesson and the study guide helps them learn the material and study for tests. But these materials are also good resources to have in the regular classroom setting as well. Some other qualities that an online course should have are: content, pedagogy, motivation, feedback, coordination/organization, usability, assistance, assessment, workload, and flexibility.
