Spring forward to avoid falling back: Ten things to ensure you're ready for what's next in digital learning.
Organize your materials into an easy to follow learning path: Make sure your course or learning path are as easy to follow as possible by leaving no ambiguity about next steps. Create your course tree with the right logic to get your students on their way efficiently and easily.
Embed necessary instructions for both teacher and student at point of use: The teacher and student experiences are intertwined and therefore better delivered together. Take advantage of teacher wrap options in your digital delivery to place necessary teacher notes, instructions, and answers at point of use in the student’s learning path.
Maximize your multimodal resources: Video, Audio, Images, Websites, Simulations, Graphic Organizers, Google files, Presentations. These are the curriculum elements that make learning memorable and impactful. Bring your curriculum to life by lining your learning path with plenty of support for the reading.
Transform your assessment opportunities: The quickest way to take advantage of interactivity is to convert your assessments to auto-gradable format, preferably with built-in feedback and multiple tries.
Maximize your curriculum’s interactivity: You still have time to take your content to the next level by transforming the experience into interactive HTML content. Great interactivity means more opportunities for student engagement and analytics.
Align your content to the relevant standards: Printed correlation charts are handy, but aligning your learning path to the right sets of standards should give you more bang for your buck. By using a C2C curriculum map, you can align your lessons and assessments (down to the item) to any set of standards and gain best-in-class standards reporting.
Create Asynchronous Training Opportunities: You may be lucky enough to offer in-person product training to your customers, but increasingly that’s going by the wayside in favor of self-service asynchronous professional development that does not require an in-service day. Hopefully the system you’re working with supports the teacher’s learning opportunities as well as their students. Your customer service team will thank you when teachers can find the answers on their own, when they need it, without having to pick up the phone.
Organize your courses into the right products for fulfillment: Make sure the products you’re creating are easy to provision to your customers, especially if you have several versions or bundles. Your account management team will thank you.
Test your connections to the district’s ecosystem: How are you connecting to their SIS? Clever, Classlink, Edlink, One Roster, Self-registration? How about the LMS? SSO? LTI? Before the back-to-school madness descends, double-check the district’s preferred connections and partners and make sure you’re ready.
Get ready to monitor: Make sure your system provides access to performance and usage data that will make your team proactive in addressing customer needs and issues.
