My courses

The range of knowledge of the micro-course depends on goals that the teacher wants to achieve in the course. The new teaching model often requires a video production team and frequent communication with the online platform technical team. The teacher alone is inadequate in this new teaching model, and thus we recommend the teacher to form a micro-course design team which not only takes on the job of course design, but also provides new ideas and makes sure the materials cover the course in all aspects.   

 It is a must to build a research team.

 

 Information Collection Team

Because of the Internet, the amount of information that the teacher can find is limitless. Finding, organizing and categorizing the appropriate course information in this information ocean really depend on the teacher’s ability. The search requires a lot of eye and brain work, and thus we recommend forming an information collection team to lighten the workloads of the teacher.

Course content Team

The course content team is the critical team of course design and the main job is to convert complicated course-related information into a well-organized course. The team is also responsible for course strategy, course outline, defining knowledge points, and setting exam questions. The team is usually led by the lecturer who will guide the design of course content. This team often is required to communicate with the video production team and online platform technical team, and thus we recommend setup of a point of contact. The core concept of the course is conveyed to other teams via point of contact so as to make sure that the content and spirits of the course can be well presented.

Teaching Tools Team

In addition to teaching knowledge using video on the platform, the teacher might need special teaching tools or computer-aided software. When this happens, a special technical team will be required to find or develop an appropriate teaching tool to meet the needs of the lecturer. The technical team should work closely with the platform technical team to make sure that the tools work well on the platform and can be accessed by all students.
