Part 1: OUR PHILOSOPHY

There are many ways to approach crafting an engaging and rewarding online course. What works for someone else may not work for you. Here at 有料盒子视频 CTL, we try to operate from a set of shared values.

Most central to our philosophy is the idea that good online courses have little to do with technology and much more to do with carefully constructing any course you teach (online, face-to-face, or hybrid) according to solid pedagogical principles.


Open Education is about more than MOOCS. Open Education is founded on the idea that a University is grounded in the Commons. Here you can read more about how online education allows for a closer approximation of the academic ideal of the Commons.
Faculty expertise is valuable and should be at the center of a course. Your unique perspectives, your feedback on understanding, and your interaction with students is of utmost importance. Reading assignments and quizzes simply aren鈥檛 enough.
Keeping students engaged in the learning process can be a challenge. Learn new techniques and methods of involving students in creative activities that encourage them to learn and grow on their own.
Thinking about and mapping your Personal Learning Environment leads to better understanding your own strengths and places where you can expand the digital aspects of your PLE.
Information Fluency is a central tenet of our philosophy.   When we encourage information fluency rather than digital literacy, we鈥檙e ensuring that our students can navigate more than just the internet. 
Learning happens in a non-linear and ever evolving manner. Natural learning cycles, feedback strategies, and assessment plans should all be  considered when building a course.
