Student and Instructors engaged in learning the Dynamic area of modern education. That lends itself to great leaps in the education
frontier.
I wish they know about different styles of learning when I was in school as a child. Oh well late is better I guess than never.
I had to forge my way through. I can be a better educator than that old school traditional method.
It is my personal experience that technology keeps learners engaged plus add to the quality of the course being taught.
It is a learning curve for me since I was not born with computer in my hand (lol) like the newer generation learners. That being said I will keep learning computers knowledge.
The use of scaffolding through the zone of proximal development is a crucial part of the online learning environment.
Wow!
I learned a great deal from this module. Some keytakeaways are to make sure the online classroom is as dynamic as paossible, meaning a variation of blended content to maximize the learning ouput. In addition To increase the individulaixed learning experinece tools can be used such as blogs or journals, Wikis, and networking features. Great content. I plan to use blogs or journals for some of my classes moving forward even if it is not part of the gradebook.

My favorite part was the last section on transformative learning and how the wider variety of ways for students to engage with the instructor, with one another, with themselves, and with the material in an online classroom was fascinating. As an instructor, I find online discussions far more interesting and dynamic because, as the unit commented, often the quiet students in the class will be "vocal" online.

This Dynamic Learning focuses on learning being multi-dimensional and fluid. Engagement of the learner is key and must have "buy in" to the process and reason for gaining knowlege.
One thing I learned is to design my instruction so that students "drive" the learning process thus increasing the student's autonomy. This makes a lot of sense to me.
Awesome idea's on how to keep up with the everchanging times and keep students engaged and learning.
My biggst take-away came from the Increasing Learner Autonomy. I like the "learning how to learn for oneself" concept. It will be highly benneficial to my students as they move from theory to practical application.
This course has provided some innovative methods to engage and involve students through the online environment.
My educational institution has moved to an online environment and I would like to see more synchronous meeting becaue I think students will benefit from all participants.
This gave great information about the way students learn and how to best cater to their needs and learning styles in a virtual setting.
Dynamic instruction occurs in hybrid classes, because it gives a chance for interaction between students and instructors, students and students, and can give students the freedom to find their way by having choices on how to progress in the learning process. They can do this through blogs, e-portfolios, wikis, etc.
I learned that online learners still need a variety of media and options for interacting. I also learned several ways of engagement that I had not previously considered.
Ok Folks,
This multichannel approach should work well. Some students enjoy reading, others prefer videos and video lectures.
In my Contemporary Literature class, we use the physical books, audiobooks that can be listened to while reading along, video lectures, live zoom lectures, verbal and written discussions, and both pre-critical responses and periodic essays about the readings.
So, there is a kind of shotgun effect going on here.
Yet... a full third of the class attempts to skate by with substandard work - and half of these with no coursework at all.
I don't believe that the 'rich learning experience' helps in this regard.
Students that are motivated certainly have a better experience, but those careless students care even less.
Technology , allows students to intersect with various media standards.
This course has taught me several lessons. Most importantly, I have learnt that the dynamic forms of communication can be beneficial in terms of dictating the types of relationships that I should have with other people within a learning environment such as teachers and students.
I have learned that knowledge building is not simply information exchange but rather the working of ideas into meaningful concepts. Also, that it increases autonomous learning skills, students become more aware of how they learn and what they want to learn. Finally, I learned that it seems as though students need more attention in the online learning environment.
The course effectively highlights the benefits of having a dynamic instruction strategy. Dynamic instructions along with the use of technology allows for more flexibility which can benefit the student in a multitude of ways.
