Maintain regular communication with students, follow their progress, encourage participation and completion of materials, help guide the students to technology help, connect with students, manage conflict, deal with different behaviours.
Learning environments can be as diverse as their participants and require instructor moderation and influence. Students often benefit from guidance and reminders to help ensure they meet requirements.
I learned you must engage student to participate and be more involved.
I learned that it is important to reach out to students to keep them engaged in the course discussions.
Communication throughout the course is crucial to keeping students on track and motivated.
Communication is such a valuable tool in the online environment. Consistent communication in clear ways can help students and instructors gain rapport with each other and over time this can develop into a sense of trust that learning is the most important aspect.
This course helped identify ways that e-learners could complicate online classes.
Managing behavioral issues are perhaps one of the most challenging aspects of an educator's role. This module was helpful in describing different, potential scenarios and giving specific examples of how to address them appropriately.
In the beginning of the school term a professor should always communicate objectives, expected standards and establish parameters to ensure the learning environment is respectful, encourages confidence and empowers critical thinking. Additionally, airing frustrations and comments that do not encourage knowledge of the curriculum should be discussed outside of class time.
Instructors should be aware of the different types of behaviors that can manifest in an asynchronous environment. Because they are different, they should be handled differently.
I realized that managing an online class is not that different from face-to-face classes. It is just necessary for teachers and students to adjust to online environment and learn how to navigate around it for a more productive learning experience.
Managing online courses is basically the same as offline. We just need to do adapt to using the techniques required to perform at the same level when teaching online.
I learned that effectively managing an online course requires organized record-keeping, clear communication, private handling of student concerns, and consistent responses to behavioral or technical issues. I plan to apply this by keeping accurate documentation, communicating expectations clearly, and reaching out to students early when they appear to be struggling or disengaged.
This was a really great. I liked the categorization of difficult learners and a guide on how to deal with them to maximize potential.
This was a really great and wonderful review. I liked the categorization of difficult learners and a guide on how to deal with them.
I learned that every student may come to us with a lot of things on their plates - personally and professionally. We as instructors should meet students where they are at and provide as much support as possible, but also be sure to hold them accountable in making sure that they meet the academic courseload and expectations.
Online courses require an instructor to keep records, communicate with students, counsel and help the students, deal with unwelcome student behavior and resolve conflicts that a student may have . An instructor with an online course will want to do all of these things to minimize attrition.
Online learning environments are improved with constant communication and clear instructions. As an instructor understanding the different needs of students will improve overall leraning.
I learned about the different types of learners there are and ways to work with them. I also learned that there are times where I may need to lean on the company's policies and procedures when dealing with more difficult and confrontational students.
