LTTO Session #5 Summary

Our Featured Faculty Member was Pat Clark. She began the session by sharing ideas for designing online courses from Pink Flamingo's Resource List.

Next, Pat discussed the advantages and disadvantages of using modules to organize online courses. She shared the 5X5 Rule for determining the number of modules and the number of topics that might be included in a course, with a caveat that this would be a LOT of topics to cover in one course. She also shared the importance of including video in her modules and gave the example of the short film, A Girl Like Me that she includes in her diversity course.

Finally, Pat showed how one of her courses was organized and asked other participants to do the same.
