Interactive learning sounds great instead of passive information learning.
The importance of understaning all components of the LMS and that structuring lectures is key to help online learners learn best.
Knowing how to navigate and maximize the CMS platform will set instructors up for success. This includes investing time into understanding all of the features on our end as educators but also considering and studying how students are receiving and navigating the content on their end. Features like Student View can be so helpful in this regard!
Quality courses provides learners with a complete, properly sequenced, concise, easily studied, adequately illustrated and sufficiently elaborated content to enable them to acquire the desired learning outcomes.
Very helpful so far. Orientation and fortification of this information with new students is directly tied to less questions about the technology and more questions about the subject matter. My students that have used Canvas in the past get assignments submitted efficiently and on time. It is my ultimate goal for each new class to make sure each student can work with our CMS within the first week. Then we can get focused on the course material.
Most people underprepare for their face to face interactions due to overconfidence, but it's important to have guardrails for consistency and to remain effective by not leaving out vital information when topics become more conversationally comfortable. It's important to repeat or mirror others communication to show effective active listening skills, this will improve the trust and emotional relationship of the speakers during their conversation,
Being available to your students is the key to success for any class. On line instruction is different than traditional instruction and some students require more attention than others.
It is important to know the needs of all of our students to have a successful learning experience.
I understand that I need to have a complete understanding of the CMS structure to help the students navigate the content.
As an instructor for e-learning having a specific structure is a key for having the students understand the content of what they are learning. Communication is the biggest concern when having online students. Having support is key with tech and understanding your students.
Understanding the CMS and its capabilities will help the instructor in an online class. Also, knowing where to go for learning support or tech support in case problems arise.
With utilizing Canvas guidelines; This will aid in preparing instructors on how to navigate your course in a timely manner. In addition, how to implement and, structure your course by way of your classroom management.
Getting familiar and learning he content and tools available for the online course will ensure a smooth and pleasant flow for the learners and instructor, while maximizing the learning process.
I learned the importance of structure. The online architecture of the course has to make the progression of ideas and assignments clear, and it must convey the relationship between different parts of the course.
The most difficult challenge for me is engaging asynchronous learners, especially younger students who are uncomfortable interacting with other people. They tend to do all of the assignments early, or all of them at the last minute. During class, they turn of their cameras and mute themselves, or have a game or the internet open for the entire class. They rely on the CMS for instructions, and pay no attention to feedback or the instructor's advice. If they don't see something on their screen, they don't look for it. They email the instructor and expect an immediate reply. 9 times out of 10, the answer is something that I have said, emphasized, and repeated in class. To them, the instructor is an outdated feature of the class, or an adversary who keeps creating problems like class participation and feedback.
Need to good knowledge about technical problem and how create module, to making grade sheet including assignment quiz gropu discussion. see the student profile and some basic knowledge about students common problem and how to solve
It was interesting to know some techniques instructors can use to help students feel supported and like they are not alone in the online learning environment. In my experience some instructors are better at this then others. The use of media when appropriate is also important.
Online learning is something that is somewhat new but is not going away any time soon so it is essential for instructors to become familiar with the platforms that will be used and to continue to stay up to date on new technological advances.
I learned that there are different teaching strategies that instructors may use to facilitate an effective learning environment for students who come from different backgrounds.
It was cool to learn about the structural support that is needed for learning.
