Applying the LEDx to BIG Design Challenges
The design challenge is choose is
the design of an ideal introductory video to an online course. Note ideal and the pressure is on! This should be a quick 10 minute project that
touches on the most important information a student will need to know to start
the course.
In the Discovery Stage, I would
quickly talk to peer instructors teaching the course and identify the most
important information students need to know in the first week to be
successful. I would also review notes
from former students; review the Q/A’s from previous courses and any survey information
that I might have from previous courses.
I would make note of why this information is important to students, typical challenges students have in the class
and the most commonly missed information.
With the primary areas of concern
identified in Discovery, I would move to the Understand Stage. Pulling the critical information together and
putting a sense of order to the information to enhance understanding is part of
this stage. To maximize understanding, I
would identify content that needs to be verbal, visual or a combination of
verbal and visual.
In the Envision Stage, I would
record a rough first take of the video.
A thorough review of the video using my checklist of information
identified in the Discovery Stage would be important and a bonus might be
getting feedback from a peer instructor.
Finally, the Build Stage would
include the final recording/editing of the video followed by uploading it to
YouTube, captioning and sharing with my students.
