Knowing your target learner is crucial. When putting together materials for online/blended delivery, it is important to give some thought to your target learner’s profile.
Make materials accessible
Making something more accessible often takes very little (if any) extra effort and it can make a big difference to the experience of some students.
Constructively align the learning
The notion of constructive alignment works from the idea that the learner constructs his or her own learning through relevant learning activities.
Take time to evaluate
When using learning technologies it is important to do a regular evaluation to ensure that the technology is meeting its intended purpose.
Divide content evenly
Where possible materials for online delivery should be divided into even sized chunks. The reason behind behind this is actually quite simple.
Give clear instructions
When delivering materials online, having clear instructions and expectations is vital.
Remove redundant objects
A big part of keeping any materials clear and concise involves removing content/links that are redundant or out of date.
Be consistent
Consistency is hugely important when it comes to online/blended teaching and learning.
