Our students want opportunities to interact with course materials. Online students need more than a textbook reading, or a long page of boring text pasted into Sakai. They need to discover how the materials and courses relate to their lives. We already have materials we've been using and have important facts and ideas we need to share.
We can help our students by using the following ideas to organize facts and convey important concepts in a variety of formats. Each "idea" has links to instructions and has been assigned a difficulty level to help you get started or advance your skills:
| What have you already got or what do you need to convey? | Ideas to make it more engaging | Difficulty Level |
| Does your content consist of lengthy, boring TEXT pasted in Sakai or in Word docs? |
Improve the formatting and add images
Embed YouTube videos to add variety (in Lessons)
|
Easy Very Easy! |
| Do you give PowerPoint files to students? | Add images to PowerPoints that primarily contain text and bullets
Use your PowerPoint notes to create multimedia presentations
|
Easy Medium |
| Do you already link to (or embed) videos? |
|
Easy Medium |
| Do you need to draw or illustrate something to explain it? | Use ExplainEverything to "draw" and narrate complex info | Medium |
| Do you need to demonstrate or explain something on your computer screen? | Use Warpwire to create a screencast video | Medium |
| Do you need to provide a quick oral explanation to clarify a point? | Easy Medium Easy | |
| Do you need to interact with students in real time? | Use Sakai's Meetings tool to hold a webinar-style meeting with students online | Advanced |
