00:43 | off . We've got Michael , we've got Dion , | |
00:46 | we've got jennifer all from our instructional design team . | |
00:50 | If you've not met them before . Here they are | |
00:53 | . Congratulations you all now met awesome people and they | |
00:57 | are going to talk a little bit about what they | |
00:59 | do and what happens with instructional design inside our team | |
01:02 | and how their processes go . I heard there was | |
01:05 | going to be kind of a little bit of some | |
01:06 | updates as well as some freebies and then Maybe some | |
01:11 | K through five updates , some some elementary canvas for | |
01:15 | little stuff happening at the end . So you'll want | |
01:17 | to stick around for the entire session to kind of | |
01:20 | see all of those things Dion just left us . | |
01:23 | We're not quite sure why . There was a there | |
01:25 | was a bit at the beginning , Michael and jennifer | |
01:27 | , we can talk about her because she's not here | |
01:28 | anymore . But she was like , are you gonna | |
01:30 | be as engaging his mark ? Like how is that | |
01:32 | process going to work ? I was a little bit | |
01:34 | nervous . Uh and apparently she didn't like it , | |
01:36 | She's gone . So she will be back . Hopefully | |
01:40 | shortly . We'll let Michael and jennifer fill some time | |
01:42 | here . Michael talk a little bit about what you | |
01:44 | guys do on the instructional design team and what your | |
01:47 | focus is . Michael actually may have just been thrown | |
01:50 | into the fire because as I understand you're quite new | |
01:53 | to the instructional design team , correct ? That's that's | |
01:56 | right . I just started and I just got a | |
01:58 | slack from john saying that her computer just restarted so | |
02:01 | it's going to be on shortly . But yeah , | |
02:04 | I , I started with instructor this year and I'm | |
02:07 | a dedicated instructional designer for a client texas . And | |
02:11 | so what that means is I pretty much make all | |
02:14 | their instructional design dreams come true , whether it be | |
02:17 | , you know , making templates or banners for their | |
02:20 | courses or giving them custom solutions to really customize and | |
02:24 | make their canvas instance their own and support their teachers | |
02:27 | and their faculty . Um , jennifer , why don't | |
02:31 | you tell us a little bit about what you do | |
02:32 | ? Yeah , I was gonna say jennifer talk talk | |
02:34 | a lot about obviously you're , you're with the design | |
02:36 | team . Um , and you've been there for a | |
02:39 | little while , correct a little while . I started | |
02:42 | in october and I work , I have a very | |
02:45 | similar role to Michael . I work with the state | |
02:48 | of new Mexico , the public education department and I | |
02:51 | do a lot of the same things where we , | |
02:53 | um , build templates for them . We build course | |
02:56 | is a big part of what I've been doing lately | |
02:59 | is building conferences . I think I've had five conferences | |
03:03 | within the last 32 months . Um , so that's | |
03:07 | been fun and interesting to , to take what we | |
03:10 | used to do in a face to face world and | |
03:12 | now make that all virtual and you know , using | |
03:16 | canvas in a different way than people expect . You | |
03:19 | know , we , we use it to teach in | |
03:21 | a normal classroom or uh , whether it's blended or | |
03:24 | online or face to face , but using it for | |
03:27 | professional development and for conferences and training , it kind | |
03:32 | of takes it a step further and it's a great | |
03:35 | service for our customers . So I've enjoyed doing that | |
03:39 | and uh , have a great team to work with | |
03:42 | and um , so we're excited to show you some | |
03:45 | of what we've been working on and um , what | |
03:49 | things we have to offer some freebies . Yeah , | |
03:51 | that's great . I know that there are probably some | |
03:54 | customers out there that are like , wait a minute | |
03:56 | . There are instructional designers that work for in structure | |
04:00 | and canvas that I could bring onto my team as | |
04:05 | part of , of what I do and yes , | |
04:09 | that is correct . So if you're interested in and | |
04:11 | kind of learning more about our instructional design process and | |
04:15 | how those people may fit into maybe your institutional goals | |
04:18 | or district goals or university or college goals , whoever | |
04:21 | is kind of watching us today , be sure to | |
04:24 | reach out to your CSM . S or or your | |
04:26 | CSM team and ask them , Hey , I saw | |
04:29 | Livestream about instructional designers and I thought that might be | |
04:32 | something that we would be interested in because we talk | |
04:34 | about instructional design all the time . We have no | |
04:37 | one dedicated to kind of building that process out . | |
04:40 | Um , we've got Dion is coming back on . | |
04:44 | Here . She is Everybody . We we still 4:48 | |
04:50 | talking all production design team as her computer completely shut | |
04:55 | down . So thanks for sticking woods . You know | |
04:59 | , if he's all right , it's just like being | |
05:03 | a teacher , you just have to pivot because that's | |
05:06 | how technology is . It's great when it works and | |
05:09 | when you rely on it too much , it stresses | |
05:11 | you out . All right . So Deana Michael and | |
05:13 | Jennifer both gave their introductions , um , talked a | |
05:16 | little bit about what they do . I'll go ahead | |
05:17 | and let you get do the introduction as well and | |
05:20 | then maybe get out of the way . We have | |
05:21 | tons of people joining us . A lot of our | |
05:23 | friends here , Tisha says , hi , everyone carry | |
05:26 | hello , awesome people . And our good friend john | |
05:29 | who just did our studio live stream . So if | |
05:30 | you haven't checked that out , scroll through the videos | |
05:33 | on Youtube , facebook linkedin , all of the places | |
05:36 | and you will find the great session we did on | |
05:37 | canvas studio with Don about a week ago . So | |
05:41 | Dion johnson , I'm gonna let you take it away | |
05:43 | . Let you kind of give the introduction , go | |
05:45 | through the presentation . I'm going to get out of | |
05:47 | the way . I'm excited to find out all the | |
05:49 | great things , instructional design is doing . Eddie , | |
05:52 | thank you so much . Quick slide about me . | |
05:56 | I've been with the structure for eight years , started | |
05:58 | out doing contract work and canvas consultant and the little | |
06:03 | steps along the way don't really matter so much . | |
06:05 | But right now I'm the manager for the learning services | |
06:08 | team , specifically instructional design . Uh , and when | |
06:13 | other people , well just a shout out to Mark | |
06:17 | because he would always make fun of me or call | |
06:19 | me Dr johnson , which I don't throw that title | |
06:22 | around too much , but sometimes it's helpful to have | |
06:24 | that so that you know that you are hearing from | |
06:27 | a team of experts , myself and the other instructional | |
06:30 | designers . Mhm And you met Michael and you met | |
06:37 | Jennifer . So we're just going to jump into our | |
06:39 | content a little history about the ready made templates . | |
06:42 | They launched in September 2018 . So that just seems | |
06:46 | like not that long ago as a resource to be | |
06:49 | able to help support all canvas users . And the | |
06:52 | intention was to reduce the stress load to help course | |
06:55 | creators design and engaging in canvas experience . And of | |
06:58 | course to turn a blank canvas core shell into a | |
07:01 | fill in the blank canvas course . All ready made | |
07:06 | template includes homepages , module , structure , those various | |
07:10 | design elements and rebuilt navigation and if these seem familiar | |
07:15 | slides , we use similar slides when we have a | |
07:18 | ready made template refresh a year ago , just kind | |
07:21 | of wanted to recap what is already made template and | |
07:24 | why would you use one ? So it really supports | |
07:26 | teachers and course designers because it expedites that course creation | |
07:30 | and building process and for students , it really , | |
07:33 | really supports the students usage . They love that consistency | |
07:37 | that a template provides and allows them to focus on | |
07:40 | the content rather than the core structure . The final | |
07:44 | bullet point there is that the templates are intentionally designed | |
07:47 | to incorporate vast practices which aligned with principles from the | |
07:51 | course evaluation checklist and we have that as a resource | |
07:55 | towards the end of the slide deck . I love | |
07:58 | that those ubl principles and quality matters , All of | |
08:01 | those principles are already built into the templates so you | |
08:05 | can just focus on your content . So Dion , | |
08:08 | I didn't know this uh I didn't know that the | |
08:11 | teasing about the doctor part but I'm gonna I'm going | |
08:14 | to go back to that because our good friend Don | |
08:17 | says when I grow up , I want to be | |
08:19 | just like beyond , she's a rock star . So | |
08:20 | apparently you have a huge following I wasn't even aware | |
08:23 | of . Uh but yes , lots of great comments | |
08:27 | coming in , but I wanted to pop in before | |
08:28 | we get too deep into this and say I'll do | |
08:30 | a better job of teasing you a little bit more | |
08:32 | about . I didn't know that And I do try | |
08:34 | to do a very good job of making sure if | |
08:36 | you've earned that doctorate that you will be called doctor | |
08:39 | from here on out . All right , appreciate it | |
08:42 | . Thank you . So what's new from the I | |
08:46 | . D . Crew ? We want to give you | |
08:47 | a quick tour of a new client facing area that's | |
08:51 | designed services . I'll pop that open in just a | |
08:53 | minute and then they're includes one pagers of all of | |
08:57 | our different offerings . There's some really fantastic slide deck | |
09:01 | examples and those are put out there twofold for you | |
09:05 | to see what the instructional design team can do , | |
09:08 | but also to be inspired by those . So I | |
09:10 | hope that you take time and look at those today | |
09:12 | . We won't look at all of them . But | |
09:14 | Michael and jennifer are going to share some of their | |
09:16 | favorite uh slide or slides from the slide decks and | |
09:21 | included in that design services area are some supporting screen | |
09:26 | cast . So if you want to know more about | |
09:28 | the L . T . There's a screen cast , | |
09:29 | their etcetera . Um , and minimize that . And | |
09:35 | we're just going to pop open . We like to | |
09:39 | call it learning course fine . That's our own little | |
09:41 | shorthand and this is linked to multiple places in our | |
09:44 | blog post and slide deck that will share out at | |
09:47 | the end of the session . But if you go | |
09:50 | to design services , you will see all the six | |
09:56 | different offerings that we have . So as a reminder | |
09:59 | what's new and I'm going to have to go back | |
10:02 | and forth between these two different taps . So adding | |
10:05 | new ready made templates this week , they're going to | |
10:08 | launch either last night or today . I don't know | |
10:11 | for sure when the switch is getting flipped . I | |
10:14 | know that the target was to that uh , this | |
10:17 | week . So finding more about the one pager or | |
10:22 | the ready made templates can be done here on that | |
10:24 | one pager and then the ready made template preview takes | |
10:28 | you to where all of the templates are housed . | |
10:30 | So if you're interested in purchasing these or you already | |
10:34 | have some of that you've purchased in , your wondering | |
10:35 | where to go to look at those . You can | |
10:38 | see that there are six categories of ready made templates | |
10:42 | . And then we also have our design packages . | |
10:44 | So these six areas up here , let's just click | |
10:47 | on our higher education one if you're a higher ed | |
10:51 | client and interested in the one that supports case study | |
10:55 | , that's one that just launched this week . So | |
10:58 | then you can click on it and you'll see it | |
11:00 | in a preview mode . So you won't have all | |
11:02 | of these links . I'm logged in with a different | |
11:06 | uh they call it site admin doesn't really matter but | |
11:09 | you'll see it in preview where you'll be able to | |
11:11 | see everything that's published . So it includes all the | |
11:16 | guts of the template and then there's also these two | |
11:20 | extra unpublished . That when you purchase the template , | |
11:23 | you'll be able to have access in a way that | |
11:26 | we can edit some of the icons or the homepage | |
11:30 | options or the banners and buttons etcetera . So we're | |
11:37 | super happy to launch . I think we've got six | |
11:39 | or so new templates that we're launching . Another thing | |
11:43 | that's new is the template subscription . So I'm just | |
11:47 | going to jump to that tab and point out that | |
11:51 | we have a one pager about that . Here's a | |
11:53 | screen cast that shows how you can import templates from | |
11:56 | the template library . And this is an additional purchase | |
12:00 | that should be done by your institution and it allows | |
12:03 | people to easily be in a course and then just | |
12:06 | pull those templates directly into their individual course and they | |
12:11 | have access to all of the templates that we created | |
12:15 | . So that's something that you're interested in , reach | |
12:18 | out whoever your campus administrator , whoever writes the checks | |
12:21 | and then they'll connect with CSM . So we're not | |
12:28 | going to talk about campus for elementary resources until the | |
12:31 | very end . Let's talk about custom templates as well | |
12:39 | . So in our design services , slide deck there | |
12:44 | or on the take the tour . If I click | |
12:47 | on that link , it's going to open up that | |
12:49 | learn course five again and on this one , I've | |
12:56 | asked for Michael to give a review . I'll drive | |
13:00 | the screen , but you can tell me where to | |
13:01 | toggle and he's going to share some of those best | |
13:05 | course design examples that he felt would be relevant for | |
13:08 | the people attending today . Sure . We start off | |
13:11 | by going to slide for sure . This is one | |
13:15 | of my favorites and it's based off of a virtual | |
13:20 | conference and this is something that jennifer was talking about | |
13:22 | during her introduction . So I think it's pretty relevant | |
13:26 | when Covid happened , many of the conferences went online | |
13:30 | and many people had to look for new ways and | |
13:32 | engaging ways of getting everybody together and learning their content | |
13:36 | and whether you host a conference online or in person | |
13:39 | , Kent is a really great resource for putting all | |
13:42 | this together . And so this is an example of | |
13:45 | a court of virtual conference and you can see it's | |
13:49 | , it's branded according to the institution , the it's | |
13:53 | professionally designed . It has content pages go in it | |
13:56 | , there's pages for the presenters and it pretty much | |
14:00 | packages everything that you would expect to have as a | |
14:05 | conference landing page into a platform that your , your | |
14:09 | teachers , your faculty are already familiar with . And | |
14:13 | as an added bonus for people that may not have | |
14:16 | seemed like a really well beautifully designed course . Having | |
14:21 | a conference type like this gives access to everybody to | |
14:23 | see just kind of what you can do with canvas | |
14:27 | . So that's , that's one of the reasons I | |
14:29 | chose this one . And you know , the red | |
14:31 | color scheme is just amazing to , so I'm always | |
14:35 | a sucker for , for good color schemes . Um | |
14:39 | , the , the other one I'd like to share | |
14:42 | is on slight 11 . You could hop over to | |
14:45 | that and there's other conference examples in this one . | |
14:50 | If you go through the slide deck afterwards , it's | |
14:52 | , it's well worth checking out . So this is | |
14:55 | an example of a professional development course and it still | |
14:58 | goes along with the same theme if you can of | |
15:00 | doing things that beyond the classroom . Well , I | |
15:04 | really like about this one is it has combined several | |
15:10 | different technologies and it leverages the universal design for learning | |
15:14 | principle , multiple means of engagement . And I'm a | |
15:16 | huge U . D . L . Fan . So | |
15:18 | as you can see at the beginning , it's really | |
15:20 | well organized , it's beautiful , has a nice navigation | |
15:24 | buttons to get people quickly around the professional development course | |
15:28 | . It has a variety of different content in it | |
15:30 | with videos , it has the icons , uh , | |
15:33 | overall , very pleasing . And one of my favorite | |
15:37 | little features on this is if you look on the | |
15:39 | image on the third image on the slide , the | |
15:42 | very top , let's just go back that one side | |
15:46 | right there at the very top of that third image | |
15:48 | there , you'll see there's a little progress bar there | |
15:51 | and that just kind of highlights some of the ingenuity | |
15:54 | that the idea team can put in to make things | |
15:57 | that , you know , normally you don't have built | |
15:59 | in progress bars in a canvas page . But these | |
16:02 | are things that we can put in with the design | |
16:05 | and give it a really great experience and add that | |
16:09 | in with the digital badges and you've got an amazing | |
16:12 | professional development course that , you know , we all | |
16:15 | wrapped up . So those are the two that I | |
16:18 | picked out of this one to really highlight , but | |
16:21 | it was a hard choice because there's some really good | |
16:23 | ones in here . So we're checking out . Awesome | |
16:26 | . Thank you so much , Michael . And as | |
16:28 | a reminder of the custom templates are available on that | |
16:32 | learned course by and the a custom template is something | |
16:37 | that you can reach out to your CSM . And | |
16:39 | those are available for purchase and allows clients to work | |
16:42 | directly with an instructional designer from our team . And | |
16:45 | like Michael said , it will help you incorporate your | |
16:48 | branding and style guide the template description or template subscription | |
17:01 | . We talked about that's a new offering and we're | |
17:04 | super excited to have that launch . The other thing | |
17:08 | that we wanted to review today was your consultation hours | |
17:11 | . If people have purchased consultation hours , they get | |
17:14 | to work directly with an individual on our instructional design | |
17:19 | team or it could be a smaller like 5678 depends | |
17:24 | upon how many hours and how quickly you want to | |
17:26 | use them . I love them because it supports all | |
17:29 | client types . It doesn't matter whether you're K-12 higher | |
17:32 | ed corporate . It means all budget types . So | |
17:35 | if you've got a smallish budget or a really large | |
17:38 | budget , you can purchase a pile of ours , | |
17:40 | whatever is going to fit your budget . And it | |
17:43 | also needs various levels of course design . So it | |
17:47 | can be you have all of your content digital and | |
17:49 | you want to hand it off to us and you | |
17:50 | want us to do all the work or it can | |
17:53 | be more D I Y will we help you create | |
17:55 | a good homepage , a module structure and then we're | |
17:58 | more teaching you how to apply those best principles of | |
18:01 | instructional design . So we're going to take a tour | |
18:06 | of the design services , the consultation hour and I've | |
18:11 | asked Michael and jennifer to share um their thoughts on | |
18:17 | these as well . So let me get to the | |
18:20 | right please . Okay , so content enhancement examples , | |
18:28 | Yes , When you like me to drive , Let's | |
18:32 | start with slide four . Thanks Jennifer , awesome . | |
18:37 | And let me encourage you to go back and yourselves | |
18:41 | um , to , to this course and look at | |
18:44 | these presentations because there's so much to see and it's | |
18:47 | very difficult to see it on a small screen , | |
18:50 | but you'll learn so much and you'll , you'll get | |
18:53 | so many ideas just from looking around at what's out | |
18:56 | there and hopefully gain the desire to talk to your | |
18:59 | administration about purchasing some of these services that we provide | |
19:04 | . So this first example that I want to show | |
19:06 | you um in the content enhancement basically shows you there's | |
19:10 | the image on the far left , just a picture | |
19:13 | . Like put your hand over the images over the | |
19:15 | right and just imagine you're looking just at the one | |
19:17 | on the left as a student , you've entered a | |
19:20 | course and this is what you see , if you | |
19:23 | , you may not be aware that modules is the | |
19:27 | default landing page for of course when a new courses | |
19:30 | built . So if instructors go in and they're not | |
19:34 | very experienced with canvas , they may just start building | |
19:37 | out that module structure . And when a student goes | |
19:40 | into the course , it's like , wow , I've | |
19:43 | got all these things , I have to click through | |
19:44 | to figure out what to do and where to go | |
19:46 | . So what we've done with this example is we've | |
19:49 | taken it and change that home page instead of being | |
19:51 | modules to a actual course content page . And if | |
19:55 | you look at the image on the right , you'll | |
19:57 | see that instead of just being a bunch of links | |
19:59 | on a page now it has a banner , it | |
20:02 | has something that's related to the course content . It | |
20:05 | has an introduction and welcome message from the instructor and | |
20:08 | I know it's hard to see the small print , | |
20:10 | but it tells them what to do to get started | |
20:13 | . Who the contact information for the instructor and then | |
20:16 | it divides it up into little pieces so that it's | |
20:19 | it's chunked using that you . D . L . | |
20:21 | Principle making it in small pieces so that students can | |
20:25 | grasp . And even at the very bottom of this | |
20:27 | example gives navigation tips so it helps students to know | |
20:30 | where to go from here . And then it shows | |
20:33 | an altered . The third image on the right shows | |
20:36 | an altered image of modules just a little more cleaned | |
20:39 | up version of what it could look like . So | |
20:42 | that's one really good example and if you'll just go | |
20:44 | to the next slide , slide five we'll see another | |
20:48 | example of a homepage . Whereas the instructor might know | |
20:53 | that they should change to a homepage , a content | |
20:57 | page instead of modules but maybe they don't have the | |
21:00 | skill set yet to dress it up . So this | |
21:03 | shows you a before and after of what it looks | |
21:05 | like when you have a good start . You know | |
21:09 | , we have the name of the course , the | |
21:10 | image that's related and then they're welcome information , but | |
21:15 | it still doesn't give them a whole lot of information | |
21:16 | about where to go and what to do . So | |
21:19 | on the image on the right , we have it | |
21:21 | nice and clean . We offer those images at the | |
21:23 | bottom with links to different areas of the course so | |
21:26 | that when students walk in for the first time to | |
21:28 | this course or enter into this course for the first | |
21:31 | time and they go to the homepage , they know | |
21:34 | exactly what to do and where to go and it | |
21:36 | will be there for them as they progress through the | |
21:38 | course . They can always come back here to quickly | |
21:41 | get around jennifer . I'm sorry , real quick . | |
21:45 | We had a message coming from our Youtube page from | |
21:47 | chastity . Thank you guys again for joining us . | |
21:49 | Obviously Ray from new Mexico tons of people that have | |
21:52 | popped in . I think somebody actually would like a | |
21:54 | job in doing this . So you're looking for people | |
21:57 | to maybe join your team . We've got some people | |
21:59 | out there , uh , positioning themselves . But this | |
22:03 | is a question . I think I've gotten as well | |
22:05 | . When I worked on the learning services team was | |
22:08 | an individual teacher or campus purchase the pd template . | |
22:11 | Working with new teachers next year . She loved to | |
22:13 | use one . Does it have to be done at | |
22:16 | the district level or can individual teachers or campuses purchased | |
22:21 | ? I don't know that I've ever had an individual | |
22:23 | teacher purchased one , but it's not to say it | |
22:27 | can't be done . They would just have to do | |
22:29 | it through the CSM So you still need to reach | |
22:32 | out and contact whoever is associated with your institution . | |
22:37 | That doesn't feel like a super great answer . I | |
22:39 | wish I had a better answer . Um , I | |
22:42 | did want to point out jennifer when you were talking | |
22:44 | about that specific homepage that they're also designed to be | |
22:48 | mobile friendly as well . So all of those images | |
22:51 | and buttons and banners are going to be responsive . | |
22:55 | Absolutely . That's a great point . Thank you for | |
22:57 | pointing that out . Um , so we just have | |
23:01 | a little cleaner , look mobile friendly . We've checked | |
23:04 | these for accessibility . That's part of our process with | |
23:08 | instructional design . So um , they're very , very | |
23:12 | good and very clean and very user friendly and then | |
23:15 | slide six is another good example . This is , | |
23:20 | you know , a lot of times when we think | |
23:21 | of course design , we think of what it looks | |
23:23 | like when you first come into that landing page , | |
23:26 | but we need to remember to carry that design all | |
23:28 | the way through the course . So in this example | |
23:31 | you have your discussion or any assignment or assessment and | |
23:36 | it's just basic listed worded instructions with not a lot | |
23:40 | of clear direction on the example on the right . | |
23:43 | We haven't divided into parts so that it's very clear | |
23:46 | for your students to know exactly what they're supposed to | |
23:49 | do when they get here . What are your guidelines | |
23:52 | ? How they're going to be great ? And it | |
23:54 | has the rubric attached . So it just keeps it | |
23:56 | clean and neat and again consistent all the way through | |
23:59 | your course . And then finally , one last example | |
24:02 | in this slide in slide nine and you'll see it | |
24:05 | looks almost identical to the previous page . It's a | |
24:09 | content page . So now we've gotten past the home | |
24:12 | page and we're going in to the heart of the | |
24:14 | course where we're learning and we're carrying that clean chunked | |
24:20 | uh , style all the way through the course . | |
24:23 | We've got those headings , we've got the divisions so | |
24:27 | that content can be absorbed and is very clean and | |
24:30 | very orderly . So these are some examples . There | |
24:33 | are lots of examples in this particular presentation . So | |
24:36 | go in and take a look and you'll see you | |
24:38 | might find some things that that you'd like to use | |
24:41 | in your own courses , jennifer . I love that | |
24:44 | you point out the headings , and not only did | |
24:46 | those chunk that make it look good , but also | |
24:48 | for accessibility . Right in the back end we have | |
24:52 | the appropriate headings attached so the screen readers can navigate | |
24:56 | quickly to the area that's most interest to them . | |
24:59 | Okay , Okay , Michael , I think you're up | |
25:02 | with some examples from the course . Build examples . | |
25:05 | Okay . Um let's head on to slide number three | |
25:11 | . And this is a professional learning . It's a | |
25:17 | these course builds are pretty amazing for taking all of | |
25:22 | the best practices and leveraging the talents of an IED | |
25:26 | team and putting them all into one package . So | |
25:30 | this is an example of a home page that leverages | |
25:35 | the brain , that leverages accessibility , that leverages good | |
25:39 | practices . So this one doesn't have before and after | |
25:43 | because this course was built with the good practices in | |
25:47 | mind . So when you come to a page like | |
25:50 | this , you know exactly what's expected where you can | |
25:54 | go . And when there's a big difference that happens | |
25:59 | for a student when you walk into a course and | |
26:01 | you see a giant wall of text with some just | |
26:05 | a page of black and white versus you see a | |
26:08 | banner used to welcome image . You see some introduction | |
26:12 | , then you see some buttons telling you exactly where | |
26:15 | you can go next . And all those things add | |
26:18 | up together to reduce the cognitive load on the student | |
26:21 | or on the learner so that they have that that | |
26:25 | brain juice left over so they can really put it | |
26:28 | into the learning and the content . And one of | |
26:32 | the things that I really liked about this design is | |
26:34 | they in addition to the homepage , they , you | |
26:37 | can leverage , they've leveraged on this , having the | |
26:39 | announcement right on top . So when the student cops | |
26:42 | right into the course , they can see what's what's | |
26:45 | new and important right away at the top . And | |
26:48 | then they can quickly jump to the particular week that | |
26:51 | they need to . So but the in addition to | |
26:55 | that on the second image , you can see that | |
26:58 | it's gone in the the course navigation menu has been | |
27:01 | simplified to only include the things that are necessary and | |
27:05 | all these things add up together to make a really | |
27:08 | fluid experience for the learner . And in addition to | |
27:12 | this , it's a , this is a professional learning | |
27:14 | course and so by making it look professional , it | |
27:17 | really adds that credibility to it . And of course | |
27:21 | it's like this can just , I mean the quality | |
27:25 | in this course , people are going to want to | |
27:26 | use this and you come back for it as a | |
27:28 | resource because it's so well organized and it's well done | |
27:32 | . And these are the types of things that we | |
27:34 | can , we can do to your professional learning or | |
27:37 | program . So , and uh again , it's really | |
27:41 | beautiful . So that's always a plus two . Um | |
27:44 | , the next one I'd like to show you the | |
27:46 | last one from the slide deck is uh slight 22 | |
27:50 | . Can I just jump in and say that one | |
27:52 | of the best ways to help your teachers understand how | |
27:54 | canvas works is to give them that student perspective . | |
27:58 | So just to re emphasize that point , Michael to | |
28:00 | have a really well designed 3D course is really going | |
28:04 | to help your faculty understand the canvas experience . And | |
28:09 | did you say 20 or 22 ? Sorry , 22 | |
28:14 | . I chose it like that . So you have | |
28:16 | to go through all the good ones . Okay , | |
28:22 | so this is a higher ed leadership course and I | |
28:25 | just love the homepage on this one so much so | |
28:30 | it has similar features to the other ones and you'll | |
28:31 | notice that many of the templates have similarities between them | |
28:36 | , many of the designs of similarities . And because | |
28:39 | best practices tend to have similar things in comment , | |
28:43 | but yet they're very different . Every , every project | |
28:46 | is very unique and distinct for me . So one | |
28:51 | of the things I really liked about this one was | |
28:54 | for this type of , this is the foundations of | |
28:57 | leadership course and it's it's branded , it's you come | |
29:03 | to the page and it looks extremely professional , it | |
29:06 | looks welcoming . But again you have those really big | |
29:10 | and bold buttons that take people directly to the part | |
29:12 | that they want to go . It has the instructor | |
29:15 | information right on there . And if you're following part | |
29:18 | of the quality matters rubric or the canvas rubric or | |
29:23 | the U . D . L . Guidelines , you'll | |
29:25 | see that many of the items on there all line | |
29:28 | up . So if your institution is trying to get | |
29:31 | involved in um , one of those great course design | |
29:34 | programs having a course like this that you can use | |
29:38 | as a reference to build off of on your own | |
29:41 | or to spark those ideas that can be that can | |
29:44 | be very powerful because often all it takes is a | |
29:47 | , a great example . So you know , where | |
29:48 | that bar can be , once , you know , | |
29:50 | where that bar can be . People , people strive | |
29:52 | to hit it . Um , the second image on | |
29:55 | this has a really amazing content page and jennifer showed | |
30:00 | some of the content pages and how they're organized already | |
30:02 | . I won't talk too much on that , But | |
30:05 | again , it has a really nice progress bar at | |
30:07 | the top to give a visual indication of how you're | |
30:10 | progressing through the foundations class And so you can see | |
30:15 | between the two images . |
