If
you’re looking for the perfect “package” for online learning, then HyperDocs
are here to save the day! Instead of
replicating a teacher-directed model of learning, a HyperDoc unifies all the
components (and more!) of a traditional learning cycle into one single
document. More than a webquest, a HyperDoc involves students in pursuing
learning by providing for self-paced learning, less direct instruction, the
inclusion of multimedia, and enhanced opportunities for creation and
collaboration. During this four-week course, we will cover a different topic
around the power of digital lesson design, including: pedagogy, how to create
HyperDocs, lesson study, and benefits of connecting with an online sharing
community.
This class is self-paced via Google Classroom; you may work through the assignments to fit your schedule. The instructor will be available for questions via email and a virtual help desk provided to you at the start of the class. In addition, since this is a cohort-based class, the instructor and participants will be interacting with each other via the Classroom comments section and via collaborative Docs. Once you have completed the session, you will receive a certificate of completion and the option to apply for graduate credit through Ashland University.
