What exactly is Course Content Dripping?

There have been times where we've had these kinds of situations... when you've watched the whole TV show in a single weekend spending your entire night flipping through an e-book and then you're in the center of consuming a full piece of biscuits... completely by yourself ().

Although a treat can be satisfying initially however it is not uncommon to end up feeling unfulfilled afterwards.

Learning can be carried out in the same in the exact same way. If the students take in too much information within a short duration, it can lead to:

  • anxiety: Worrying they missed an important thing or made a mistake.
  • regrets: Wishing they had been more patient and taken the time to understand the contents.
  • Doubts: Inquiring if people really knew the meaning of the text.
  • The Insane: Overloaded by the amount of data you need at one moment.

These aren't feelings you want your students to experience after the end of your course.

Instead of providing students with all of the details at once, course drips will allow students to distribute information at regular times. They can learn more slowly with each lesson, keep them engaged and more easily absorb the information.

What Benefits Does Content Dripping Make to Your Class?

1. Make Knowledge One Step at a time

Instead of providing students with access to all the information at the same time Dripping allows each lesson to be conducted in a specific order, allowing students to gain knowledge by gaining knowledge gradually.

The method of stepping through the steps assists students in developing a perception of their progress and their successes throughout the curriculum.

Imagine your classroom as an escalator with each stage being an introduction to a concept. It is essential that students be able to grasp the first step before they can move into the next. It is crucial to grasp the basics before being competent enough to grasp higher-level concepts.

2. Involve Students and Keep them engaged and

When students know that they'll be receiving regular updates, and are aware of it, they can build anticipation and enthusiasm. This keeps them engaged because they're always looking forward to the next lesson or module.

3. Provide Content at the Right Moment

If you're trying to introduce concepts of more complex concept that demands special attention or preparing for a task that's going to require more time, content drip allows you to adjust the delivery of your materials to satisfy the needs of students and the goal of your class.

4. Learn all at the same pace

Dripping content from your course is an effective method effectively to keep all of your students moving with a regular pace. It also helps be sure that no student moves too fast or gets lost.

The learning process should be one that students are able to enjoy and not something that is overwhelming. If all the course content is presented at once this can cause an unnecessary amount of anxiety and stress.

Dripping content from courses can be a better approach for students by using smaller, manageable pieces.
