Course Development

Name of Assignment: 

                Course Outline Assignment: Course Development

Week's Summary:

               For this past week, I think my body has still been on Spring Break. I am slowly getting going again. I have started working on my Course Development for this course. I am creating a course in Blackboard through Coursesites. I am looking forward to creating this course. At first I thought it was going to be really hard and just a big pain but as I have started working with it I find it rather easy.

Item of Interest:

            My item of interest this week is the Course Development. I have to create this course and so far it seems to be coming along quite nicely. 

Problem or Concern:

            My issue at this point is making sure I have every folder viewable. I know we only have one folder that we actually have to put content into but I'm not sure how the quizzes are supposed to be. Do we just create a folder for them? Do we have to create each quiz, but not put questions in them? Also, I was wondering if we have to put our objectives in each of the Module folders. I wasn't sure on this one either.

Engagement

Name of Assignment:

          Course Outline Assignment: Student Engagement

Week's Summary:

         This week we were supposed to finish up our course outline so we can send it in to get feedback for it is actually due for a grade. I have been working constantly all week on this outline, trying to finish it up. Other than the outline we are supposed to create an account with course sites. I have tried that but haven't been successful because my internet would mess up when I tried. This will be something that I do hopefully a little later today or tomorrow.

Item of Interest:

         I have noticed that in every module I have tried to include a video, reading material, and student interaction. I have done this in hopes of involving all students and getting them actively engaged in the course.

Problem or Concern:
     
         At this point I do not have any major problems. I feel much better about my outline after the meeting we had last week. Also, I feel like the module development will be easier than what I was originally thinking.
