This module gave me practical strategies to better support my students—managing communication, advising effectively, handling disruptive behaviors, resolving conflicts, and most importantly, preventing dropout in online learning
Very good to learn about variable teaching methods to keep students involved & interacting.
I find that it is very important to be attentive to the wear and tear of the students and to see if they need anything in order to help them. With this, we will achieve greater student participation in the classes.
It is important to keep students aware of the policy guidelines for turning in assignments and provide assistance when technology interferes with their ability to do so.
Attrition from a student or students is usually caused by many factors but the main one is not being able to prioritize their activities and or manage events in their lives.
some attrition contributors are: alienation, excessive workload, competing responsibilities and or technical issues with equipment.
Online learning is not a traditional learning environment but it's my responsibility to maintain engagement and communication. However, that may be is my job.
Emails are very important for communication in online learners
I learned the way to deal with different types of students and how different online learners dont all act the the same way.
Emails are very important to manage online learning.
I learned that with online learning, email will be more than likely the most used way of communication, and being and keeping up with that will is effective for productive communication.
I learned that as an instructor I must do all I can the students, to alleviate alienation, excessive workload, competition, and technical issues.
It is important to maintain a simple but effective record-keeping system. It is also important to adopt a system for managing e-mail messages to reduce the time you have to spend responding to them. Some guidelines for managing counselling via e-mail are: Avoid promising immediate responses or advise learners to state the purpose of their inquiry very clearly in the Subject. On the other hand, it is important to be aware that there are different learner profiles: noisy, quiet, disruptors, intimidators, or procrastinators.
I learned more about conflict resolution, which should not be an issue as I was an instructor in the military so keeping everyone actively engaged, assisting with anything that may arise in their personal lives that may interfere with their studies, etc. and how important these skills are in an online learning environment
I have learned the most effective way of feedback and discussions comes from emails and how it is important to resolve all student conflicts.
I learned that even in an online environment it is important to recognize different learning/personality styles. Understanding this helps me to help address different potential student issues. Being familiar with my institutions policies and procedures will give me a great foundation on how to manage any problems that may arise either due to student learning styles or technical difficulties.
The course provides an understanding of different types of students and their behavior patterns. In particular, what can complicate asynchronous learning. In this regard, there is a need to maintain interest in the students' classes. It is important to organize everything correctly
I learned about the different types of learners and how students can make asynchronous learning difficult. I intend to implement so of the strategies I learned in order to keep the class on track, while also keeping students engaged and supported. I also learned the organization is very important for maintaining student documents.
I’ve come to understand the importance of identifying why students may disengage from the online learning environment and finding ways to address these challenges. It's essential that students feel a sense of belonging within the virtual classroom. Encouraging collaboration through peer partnerships or small group work can help prevent feelings of isolation. We should also evaluate the course workload to ensure it's manageable and realistic. It's important to recognize that students often juggle other responsibilities that may impact their ability to focus solely on coursework. Lastly, providing reliable technical support is key to helping students navigate the online platform successfully.
I learned the different methods to keep the class interesting and students engaged.
