Features to be mindful of when constructing the online space
Description
When using a Learning Management System (LMS) or another digital space, there will be features of the online space that can either help or hinder the language learning experience. Pay attention to how your space is set up and how it functions to ensure learners can access the course content without confusion and without taxing their cognitive load.
Smaller details of the online space can cause distraction and confusion for language learners who will be relying on the predictability and the patterns of the online space to make navigation easy. Minimizing automatic features and making other features explicitly known to your learners will help them to avoid uncertainty as they access the online space.
This resource is a description of features to be mindful of when constructing the online space for your language learners. It includes a useable advance organizer.
