For the ID project, I am planning to build an online-version of the web-design unit that is taught in EDTC 3123 (Ed Tech for teachers). This is hopefully a first step to having this course available completely online. Instead of reinventing the wheel, alot of the "how to click the buttons" instruction will be delivered through tutorials that the students will have access to through an online training site called atomiclearning.com. That way I can focus on more quality in the overall unit design, instead of spending all my time on creating the tutorials from scratch.
I feel that I know the learner and context pretty well already, since I have taught this course 2 semesters, however alot of consideration will need to be given to what changes will occur as a result of this being offered online. Would there be a certain demographic of students more interested in taking the online version of the class? What level of prior computer skill can I expect the students to come into the class with? Many questions such as these are difficult to predict a black and white answer to, but at least giving it thought can help me avoid gross oversights that otherwise might not have been foreseen.
