MODULE DESCRIPTION
Welcome to Select Online Education. I hope you are very interested in learning Grade 12 Biology. Grade 12 Biology has six units with detailed explanations. These include the Application of Biology, Microorganisms, Energy Transformation, Evolution, the Human Body System, and Climate Change. This course is divided into two modules. Module 1 consists of three chapters, and the remaining chapters are included in Module 2.
Welcome to Module 1!
This module provides an overview of Grade 12 biology. It includes three chapters: the principles and applications of biology, microorganisms, and energy transformation in living organisms. While online learning shares many of the fundamental design principles of effective activities, assessments, and interactions used in other learning contexts, it is important to consider the unique set of teaching and learning conditions that the online environment generates.
Interactions between instructors, course content, and learners in online courses are influenced by physical and social distances, various types of teaching technologies, and cognitive, affective, and motivational challenges as well as opportunities. As you work through this module, you will be asked to think about the following key questions:
- Do my activities and assessments help learners develop core skills and competencies that align with the course learning outcomes?
- Have I structured the course activities and assessments to help build academic integrity?
- Are my assessments authentic, reflecting discipline-specific, real-world problems and challenges?
- Do all activities and assessments follow the principles of universal design for learning?
- Do each activity, including lab activities, provide as many opportunities as possible within your environment to foster learner engagement and build community in the course?
