Content: A syllabus can still be a useful tool to help instructors organize their thoughts into a linear class structure, but it’s less critical for the students as the very structure of the course can guide students on a straight line through the material. An outline of what lectures are going to be about can still be useful for organizing your thoughts, but can also be woven into the presentation materials for the class. Overhead transparencies are replaced with common forms of digital media (e.g., photos, audio recordings, PowerPoint presentations, movie clips, even actions on your own monitor ), which are much more portable and don’t require specialized materials. Additional information that’s not embedded in original course material can easily be distributed as e-mail attachments or linked to from within the coursework, and it’s up to each student to decide if printing to paper is even necessary. A good learning management system (LMS) will include a method for embedding quizzes into the online course materials, which should include a system for grading materials and notifying student of grades. In the case of many training programs, certification is the goal, which can also easily be managed through the same interface as the course. The e-learning industry is rapidly evolving in the direction of even more powerful tools to put greater flexibility into the hands of instructors and trainers. Use these tools to your advantage, and while you may not get a masterpiece on your first try, you’ll be well on your way. Image used under Creative Commons by Flickr user algogenius.
