It was interesting reading more about synchronous discussions with students.
Keep students engage through the discussion board.
I didn't think about how online courses can really benefit student who may be introverted or shy and may not be comfortable participating in discussions during a face-to-face class. An online, asynchronous class can really help students like this and they would feel more comfortable participating in a chat session via typing.
Identifying the learning styles of your students will help you identify behaviors so you can modify discussions and determine whether it is appropriate to be synchronous or asynchronous.
Synchronous discussions will more often than not be challenging to keep track of, it is easier and creates higher information retention to utilize asynchronous discussions as much as possible; you must alway be mindful of your word choice and tone to have positive outcomes and performance
Keeping students engaged is critical, but you must use care in technique, so that none are lost along the way...discussions and quizzes help assess this.
Discussion questions I have learned is a great way for asynchronous learning.
I learned the difference from Asynchronous and Synchronous and ways to use them in class. Also learned how to keept the class discussion active and engaging
Having asynchronous discussions give equal opportunity for each student to participate. Instructor's timely feedback is important to encourage continued student engagement.
In this section, I will take the opportunity to personalize my responses and control the pace of my text chat by maintaining a continual flow of information between you and the participants.
I learned that it is important to always engage your student both synchronous or asynchronous.
As a teacher giving feedback online I need to always be encouraging to participate, building their confidence to feel free to respond, and motivating them to not be afraid.
personally i would love to respond to my student with in 2 hours
In the E-learning enviornment it is important to engage the student through the discussion board and encourage the students to interact with each other.
Keeping conversations active will help keep students engaged in what they are learning and discussing.
Making clear and concise messages with an outline of how to post with specific information will lead to better communication. Thewre are different ways to engage students, seeking out different learning types to keep everyone involved.
It is important to have both synchronuz and asynchronus conversation depending on the tasks at hand. A different type of cummunication can be used for noth
The difference between synchronous and asynchronous discussion was helpful to learn. Rmoving that pressure of a full group can really benefit a struggling student.
Greater emphasis is placed on asynchronous interactions as it allows for learning that transcends time constraints, whereas aynchronous interactions should be applied to individual students.
I intend to engage my students through thought provoking conversation starters, feedback through comment boards and synchronous discussions with individual students.
