Demo Course "Exercise" Demo Course "Exercise"This course element is a simple, single HTML page. You are able to implement content in such a page by means of the internal editor in OpenOLAT. It's as easy as formatting a Microsoft Word or Apple Pages document. Likewise, you can copy/paste content directly from Word or Pages into OpenOLAT, the formatting will be copied too.
This demo course is for authors (teachers) who want to build their own courses, but are not familiar with all the functionalities of OpenOLAT. This course illustrates some examples on how a course in OpenOLAT could be build up. Please notice that OpenOLAT is highly flexible. Any course element can thus be combined in any way you wish.
In this course, we briefly show you which course elements are helpful to conduct online supported exercising and practising. From a didactical point of view the learning outcome is much higher if the learners are actively engaged in the learning process by means of exercising for instance. Compared to simple instructional learning (as demonstrated in the Teaching Demo Course), where learners are confronted solely with static learning material, an active learning task leads to better understanding, longer lasting remembering and more active knowledge and skills.This means that learners are more likely able to transfer their knowledge into new problem situations. Surely, the preparation of exercises could need more time and effort, but your learners will be grateful for that as they will experience a deeper understanding of the matter as well as an enhancement of their competencies.
In order to give you a well structured overview, only a subset of all possible elements are shown in this course. However, at some places, we are making side references to the other demo courses. Therefore, always bear in mind your didactical goals: course elements presented could be useful? Think of a lego brick when testing a specific course element, because you can combine them totally at will. Certainly, we can not show the whole functional range of OpenOLAT, as there are so many powerful options. However, you will get the idea what is possible.
We propose to navigate through the course elements top-down (navigation on the left). On every element, we are giving you explanations about the purpose of the element.
