Elluminate Live

Designing a course that was going to be delivered via Elluminate Live would require first setting a firm foundation with clear objectives for the course. Secondly, it would require preparing lessons plans to include teaching strategies that would incorporate the needs of the different learning styles. Thirdly, the design of the layout would need to be very user friendly and simple to navigate to facilitate participation from all the students in the group. I would use activities that encourage students to collaborate with each other as well as the instructor like small groups, discussions, and case analysis. I would also incorporate activities using the whiteboard that allowed students to be creative in a variety of ways with the content being covered. Students seem to be more engaged in the learning process when they are actively participating whether by interacting with each other or expressing their creativity. I would incorporate additional icons that expressed a wider range of responses from each participant. I also think a parking spot on the blog would be very helpful like we have in class to place questions or additional information that is needed.
