Week 7: Designing a unit

What are you most concerned about as you embark on creating a curriculum unit?


As a teacher and a instructional designer, I feel that it is important to identify the learning outcomes before the tools itself. As this is an online class, we might feel pressurized to whip up all the fancy web2.0 tools and use them at random in our curriculum design. As a user myself, I know that learners might not be comfortable if they have to dabble in too many online tools or deal with too many logins for one unit. It is important to identify an appropriate tool or two that facilitates and improve the learning experience of learners and utilize the potential to these tools. I believe that it is crucial to delve deep rather than dabble briefly in many things.
