While developing
materials teachers should ensure that the technology they
intend to use for learning
should meet the needs
of learners.
The following aspects
may be looked into:
1. Production of an introductory video to inspire and
emphasize the seriousness of the topic.
2. A closing video which
sums up and clarifies the topic
3. Multiple choice questions to test the content
taught
4. Reference list to articles, literature, and other relevant
learning resources
Characteristics of good
online tutoring materials include
*Free from legal restrictions.
*Presentable in a context that is meaningful for the
practitioner.
*Ones that are
easily sourced and accessible.
*Media format that can
be presented in intelligible representations in terms of
language etc
*Must be available
in widely used electronic formats
that are accessible and ubiquitous within that community.
*Capable of engaging
learners, enabling them to do something active with them (for example,
manipulating images).
*Sufficiently small to be reusable,
A note of caution:
Humans interpret audio, images and video differently. Hence
the teacher should
ensure that the content
produced helps to visualize, verbalize and analyze
competence and tacit knowledge in while teaching.
Expected competencies
of an online teacher includes:
*Communication skills
*Technological competence
*Responsiveness
*Student support
