Our group is planning to teach K12 students to write some relatively simple code in English, In our course, students will complete some simple tasks by using  JAVA programming language. The tasks will be playful and practical, so children will not be bored or feel too hard to learn during our course. Children will develop logical thinking and innovative spirit while figuring out our little tasks. This course will also help children to practice their attention span and patience since children might need to try many times to get the desired effect. We do recognize that our learning activity will affect by some unexpected event such as the COVID-19.  Children must stay home and reduce unnecessary travel. Therefore, we most likely will change our learning form to online courses.

In order to ensure that our courses can be carried out normally, we will conduct training and Q&A with staff, teachers, parents and students themselves. Ensure that in different family situations and environments, we can help students solve technical problems and deal with emergencies. Moreover, we will establish a mature examine system to ensure that teachers’ teaching effect will not be reduced by the change to online courses. We will also arrange some Q&A during and after class to check students’ learning outcomes.

Our group plans to let children work together as a team to complete programming tasks. However, due to long-distance teaching, students were unable to discuss face to face. But we decided to let each group exchange ideas online through video calls and file sharing. This method not only solves the difficulties that children cannot communicate with each other but also can summarize everyone’s ideas in the same document remotely.

Online teaching can reduce the potential barriers of incomplete notes and incomplete understanding caused by the failure to keep up with the teacher’s lecture progress. Because the online live broadcast software provides a screen recording function, students can watch the playback video to consolidate the content of the class. If a student miss classes, he/she can also use the playback video to make up for the lesson later.

I think elevators are also an example of universal design. The elevator is not only convenient for those living on high floors and need to take a long time to go downstairs, but also indirectly help people who need to carry heavy objects. This design is an aspiration for learning design. Because online teaching not only allows everyone to contactless study in a special period but also facilitates those office workers who do not have time to go to class in a specific place. They can also get various learning opportunities just stay home.
