Bei, thinking about creating some online energy training modules
on my website like what I described about the music theory book.
A short lesson, multiple choice questions with link to each choice,
the correct choice would segway into the next lesson. Could do it
with just pdfs and links so that it is printable. What do you think?
Here is my table of contents: 1. Energy, what is it and how does
it work? 2. The building and you, what does it need? 3. Keeping warm
4. Keeping cool 5. Draw a hot bath 6. The lights are on 7. Modern
conveniences aka appliances 8. Is solar for you? 9. Where has all
the water gone? 10. Safety first!
I had an instructor whose method was, tell them what you are going
to tell them, tell them and tell them what you told them. I will make
a bullet point list first and a brief summary paragraph. This I will
post on linked in. Then I will follow with the lesson, a review
and the mutiple choice question.
Yes, one lesson at a time. Trying to keep my readers engaged and drive
traffic to my site. Will take work/time.
Visual aids/graphics are vital and the most difficult piece for me.
You will need a computer with Word in order to help.
Help is my middle name. Going to be getting "Word", and MORE, on
the Second. Trade-in is in the bag.
Draft for lesson 1: +defined +source +measure +btu +kwh +conduction
+convection +radiation +energy-comfort-climate. The +s are dots for
bullet points. The summary paragraph will take some time, get back
to you.
Here is draft of 1st summary, Welcome to our first lesson of Energy,
Your Home and You. We hope it will help you better understand how your
home uses energy and then investigate ways to be more energy efficient,
spend less on utilities and do your part to help preserve our big home,
planet earth. We will begin each lesson with a list of topics, a summary
paragraph and then get into the details. The entire content is
a collection of pdfs so you may print a copy if you chose. Each topic will
include a multiple choice question at the end. If you answer correctly
it will lead you to the next topic, if not it will direct you to review
the topic again. Please have fun learning. Lesson 1. Energy, what is it
and how does it work? +defined +source +measure +btu +kwh +conduction
+convection +radiation +energy-comfort-climate. Taking a break now.
Update(questions):
New(different) choice letters, Link back to "Home", what is home?,
Lesson 1, change "Next lesson" to "Lesson 'N', PDF version and link to.
So each topic (a section in a lesson) would have 4 pdfs. The topic,
the correct choice followed by next topic and 2 incorrect choices.
So we have lessons and topics under lessons. I am working on lesson 1
Energy, What is it and How Does it Work?, topic 1, Defined. By the way
the title of the course is "Energy, Your House and You". A picture
is worth a thousand words. That why we need pics and graphics in
the lessons. This is going to be a long project, a book really.
You would not need a link back to the lesson because that is where you
are. Let's say there are 3 choices, pick the right one, you get an "at
a boy" and the next lesson. Pick the wrong and you get an oops and
a link back to the lesson you were on.
