Comp 4 Quiz 1

Self‑Paced Learning

• A delivery model in which students move through material at the instructor’s timetable but may revisit resources in a revision week at semester’s end.

• A modality that lets learners “pause and play” content, progressing entirely on their own schedule without disadvantaging classmates, thereby accommodating varied work or time‑zone constraints. 

• A synchronous virtual class lasting exactly ten minutes per chunk before automatically proceeding.

Backlinks

• Hyperlinks pointing from one page of a website to another internal page for better crawlability.

• External references coming from authoritative third‑party sites that pass reputation signals and raise search‑engine trust.

• No‑follow” tags that instruct crawlers to ignore a page’s content.

Assessment Integrity (E‑learning)

• The difficulty of ensuring honest work in an online environment because monitoring is limited and identity can be uncertain. 

• A rubric that covers only higher‑order thinking questions.

• Automatic scoring of multiple‑choice quizzes.

Meta Description

• Allowing remote learners meaningful opportunities to interact with peers and instructors so learning continues even while at home.

• Requiring learners to construct physical prototypes in every module.

Internal Links

• Hyperlinks that connect different pages within the same site to aid navigation and help crawlers understand structure. 

• Redirect chains that pass “link juice” externally

• Canonical tags used to avoid duplicate content.

Data Privacy Risks (App Similarity)

• Risks decrease because APIs are standardized

• When users spread personal information across many near‑identical apps, exposure grows and security concerns rise

• The concern that too few apps collect user data.

Keywords (SEO)

• Random words placed in meta‑keywords tags.

• Research‑driven terms integrated naturally into content to align with user search intent.

• Hidden white‑on‑white text blocks stuffed at page footer.

‘Chunk’ Your Lessons
