Online Learning Design Tips


From Peter Norvig (Classroom of 100,000 Students)
  • Emulate one-on-one tutoring, that's what works best... it's like sitting in a bar with a really smart friend who's explaining something.
  • Use two minute videos, then pause for a quiz question.
  • Students learn best when they're actively practicing... synthesizing the key ideas themselves.
  • Have due dates, ...motivate students... get peer answers to discussion forum questions within minutes.
