Storyboarding: A Simple Way To Get Professional In Course Authoring

Storyboarding: A Simple Way To Get Professional In Course Authoring

7 Tip To Get Started With Storyboarding

  1. Pick the tool you will be using for creating storyboards (MS Office tools: Word, Excel, PPT).
  2. Create a sketch of the title page with the name of the course and 3-5 page mockups containing the course sets out to accomplish, e.g.
    1. What Ιs Gamification?
    2. Game Thinking.
    3. Game Elements.
    4. Motivation & Psychology.
    5. Gamification Design Framework.
  3. After you have outlined the principal structure of the course, it’s time to go deeper and describe the structure of every section of the course.
  4. Try to visualize the general layout of every page.
  5. Enumerate all screens in the storyboard, e.g. 1/16, 2/16, 3/16, and so on.
  6. Lay out the screens of your storyboard in order and try following the story they tell. Look at them through your learners’ eyes. Is all information delivered in a logical order? Did you leave out something important? Are your notes clear enough so that you will be able to build a complete course using your storyboard for reference a week later? Have you touched upon all important areas?
  7. If you need to present your storyboard to your client (student) or boss (student) for review, it pays to show it to a good friend first and ask for feedback. Ask them to read your storyboard and then retell what they took away from it in their own words.

in Geenio (https://www.geen.io/) this mode is called the Pathboard, and entering it allows you to see the structure of your whole course, the sequence in which pages and tests are presented, as well as the connections between them. Some course editors not only provide you an overview of your course’s structure, but enable you to edit the course’s structure and add additional elements to it as well.

online learning and course design

Five tips for designing an online course:

  1. State your objective: Each lesson should have one concise, action-oriented learning objective to ensure your lesson design process is focused.
  2. Think as a private tutor: Learners today are inundated with media tailored to them and they expect learning to be tailored as well. So think about how the tools available, including new technologies, will help create meaningful learning moments for all your students.
  3. Storyboard before you build: Being able to see a complete lesson, especially one that integrates various mediums, is essential to creating a successful learning experience.
  4. Build towards high-order thinking: Technology in education can go beyond multiple-choice questions and document repositories. Don’t be afraid to integrate tools that let learners create and share.
  5. Remember you’re learning too: Reviewing learner results from a lesson shouldn’t just be about their score, but also evaluating how effectively the lesson was developed and executed so your teaching can adapt and learn as well.

In 2013, Apple bought PrimeSense, which developed motion-sensing technology in Microsoft Corp.’s Kinect gaming system. Purchases of software startups in the field, Metaio Inc. and Flyby Media Inc., followed in 2015 and 2016.

“AR can be really great, and we have been and continue to invest a lot in this,” Cook said in a July 26 conference call with analysts. “We are high on AR for the long run. We think there are great things for customers and a great commercial opportunity.”

online career coaching

UCLA Connects Alumni and Continuing Ed Students to Online Career Coaching

By Rhea Kelly 11/09/16

https://campustechnology.com/articles/2016/11/09/ucla-connects-alumni-and-continuing-ed-students-to-online-career-coaching.aspx

The University of California, Los Angeles will now provide individualized online career coaching to all of its alumni as well as all UCLA Extension students and alumni, thanks to a joint effort out of UCLA Extension, UCLA Alumni Affairs and the UCLA Career Center. The three divisions have partnered with InsideTrack to offer subscription access to the company’s uCoach student success coaching resources.

UCLA will continue to provide traditional career services — such as career advising, programming and career fairs — through its Career Center.

excluding the sales pitch for Inside Track, it is a great idea.

video captions benefit

Report: Video Captions Benefit Virtually All Students

By Leila Meyer 11/02/16

https://campustechnology.com/articles/2016/11/02/report-video-captions-benefit-virtually-all-students.aspx

The Oregon State University Ecampus Research Unit conducted the national study in collaboration with 3Play Media. The researchers surveyed 2,124 students across 15 public and private universities throughout the United States. Of all respondents, 19 percent reported hearing difficulties, and 37 reported vision difficulties. However, only 13 percent had registered with an office of disability services, and less than 12 percent reported they require academic accommodations.

The study revealed that students find closed captions and video transcripts helpful, whether the student is deaf or hard of hearing or not.

Key findings from the study:

  • Almost 100 percent of survey respondents had at least one course — either face-to-face or online — that included some video content;
  • 75 percent of students use captions as a learning aid in face-to-face and online classrooms;
  • 98.6 percent of students who use captions say they are helpful;
  • 71 percent of students without hearing difficulties use captions at least some of the time;
  • Students reference video transcripts as a learning aid 85 percent of the time;
  • 66 percent of English-as-a-second-language (ESL) students find captions extremely or very helpful;
  • 61 percent of students with learning disabilities find captions helpful;
  • More than one quarter of students were unsure about the availability of closed captions for video content in their course; and
  • Almost one-in-five students were unsure about the availability of video transcripts for their course.

Further details about the study and a link to the full report can be found on 3Play Media’s site.

Carnegie Mellon Researchers Create Data Visualization Tool to Identify Cyber Attacks

By Rhea Kelly 11/07/16

https://campustechnology.com/articles/2016/11/07/carnegie-mellon-researchers-create-data-visualization-tool-to-identify-cyber-attacks.aspx

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University‘s CyLab Security and Privacy Institute have developed a new tool for analyzing network traffic and identifying cyber attacks. The tool uses data visualization to make it easier for network analysts to see key changes and patterns generated by distributed denial of service attacks, malware distribution networks and other malicious network traffic.

presented the tool last week at the IEEE Symposium on Visualization for Cybersecurity in Baltimore, MD.
