In seeing the sections about synchronous chat and asynchronous chat, I'm struck by how video conferencing - especially in these days of COVID19 - is taken for granted as if it's always been a part of online learning. It's interesting how the content in this course, so far, speaks to when online learning was more about trying as best as possible to offer a nearly as good simulation of brick and mortar learning vs. how today, it can achieve outcomes far beyond the limits of in person, conventional classes.
Everything we do in person can be done in an e-learning environment. I will try to implement more activities online than I did in the spring if we are e-learning again in the fall.
E-Learning Activities is a lot like face to face except there is no face to face!!! But asking questions is complicated online because there are more places the teacher and students can ask questions. All in all e-learning is like the classroom except you chat more and therefore it gives everyone a chance to participate.
E-learning can be applied the same way face to face learning can be.
I did not realize students could still collaborate on group projects while learning online, through asychronous chat. That's wonderful!
web confrencing bringing in a guest speaker based on the course is good this will also create interaction discussion with students and guest speaker and instructor
I have done all of this on my learning platform this spring. The only thing I am not able to do at this time due to lack of high speed internt and no camera is live lessons. I did synchoronous chat during scheduled class time where I would pose questions and the students would answer and respond to each other. Also if kids could not login at that time they answered later - asynchonous. I have used microsoft forms for quizzes and feedback.
Handouts should be provided to students to get the most from guest speakers
I learned some information and pointers that will be helpful and allow me to expose my students to guest speakers using online learning. I also learned that synchronous chat provides students and teachers the opportunity to discuss topics in an alternative form to that used in a traditional classroom.
Just about any activities that take place in a classrom are suitable for online learning, using forums and discussion boards, email and chat, and pre-prepared interactive or audio-video presentations, as well as assessment and grading.
I learned that it is important to have learning activities which meet objectives and follow a specific sequence and eloborate on the content in order to achieve the outcomes.
Great introduction, however there were parts I could not download.
Guest speakers can be used, and all participants can interact.
Very effective introduction
I have learned that most face-to-face or on-the-ground learning can be converted to online learning.
Both onground and online learning are basically the same other than face to face contact. Both teacher and student must communicate effectively for the student to suceed in the class which they are taking.
The analogies made between online and onsite learning environments are helpful in integrating the various modalities and providing a better understanding of how online Instructors can leverage the instructional strategies in an online learning environment.
I am new to elearning and found it interesting that all the activities that may occur inclass can be completed online through various platforms that allow students to receive instruction and use various ways to ask questions and recieve answers as their learning process progresses in the course. I need to learn how to navigate these platforms.
Online classroom can still have the same type of learning evironment where students can be engaged such as opportunties to ask questions, have a live syncronous chat and asynchronous chats is a platform where students can leave message and attach a document for from an individual or a group.
During this lesson, I was reminded of the value of hyperlinks and how to embed additional readings or instructional videos without having the student to navigate away from lesson content.
