Keep detailed record of all student interactions, possibly in a folder on your computer per student. Encourage 'surfing students' to stay on track, and draw students that may not respond much online in with skills they may be familiar with.
As an instructor I should be doing all I can for the e-learners to prevent complications.
Common reasons for conflict in an online learning environment are ineffective communication, personality differences, differences in personal values, differences in personal goals, failure to fulfill commitments, and shirking roles and responsibilities. I will consult my institutional policy and procedure guidelines when seeking to resolve conflict.
In online teaching, effectively managing the e-learning environment involves mastering techniques such as clear and concise email communication. This technique ensures that instructors can convey information, answer queries, and maintain a positive and organized online learning space. Efficient email communication is a crucial aspect of successful online teaching, fostering a sense of clarity and support for students.
Having students in an e-learning environment doesn't excuse the instructor from keeping documentation and staying organized with proper records.
I learned the different types of learner in the online classroom setting to be able to understand and address any situation with each student based on the type of learner.
While the behaviors are no different from those that are exhibited in the traditional classroom, the e-learning environment behaviors are manifested is quite different. In the traditional classroom, you can observe and immediately modify or correct undesirable behaviors. The e-learning environment could create a challenge for managing such behaviors. That's why it is important to address such behavior in a respectful and responsible manner
I understand that you will meet in your class Disruptive STUDENTS & Procrastinator , NOISY STUDENTS. Can be very distraction.
So keep them busy and engaged.
Direct them to email you Personally but not in the group feed for directions.
So the focus will be on them to complete the task the Instructor give them.
I’ve learn that Disruptive's can hi jack your class online.
To avoid that happening block them being apart of the discussion. Until they are ready to learn.
The Code of Conduct, institutional policies and analytical introspection are useful tools when attempting to present required material.
Judicious consideration when dealing with multiple personalities and personal/professional objectives can most definitely obscure the intended lesson(s), however, professionalism and diplomacy are keys to the success in delivering the required material.
Learning about the different ways to keep the students engaged while teaching an online course.
Comment on Tambra Moser's post: Thud us true because of the real-time nature of that form of communication.
In the module I learned to refer to institutions policy and procedure as it pertains to disciplinary matters.
There are several challenges with student retention in any learning environment, but especially so in online learning where students feel less connected to the instructor. When I have students that have competing responsibilities -- which seems the most common issue and one of the hardest to combat -- I try to remind them of their long term goals to help get them back on track and see beyond the immediate crisis.
Student success in an online learning environment can be difficult without good communication. You don't have the same environment where students can ask questions on break or clarify material after class. Establishing communication early is imperitive to their success.
In this module I learned the importance of being familiar with the institution's guidelines and policies. Communication is so important especially when it comes to different personalities. Good record keeping is important to document and easily retrieve information when needed.
Communication and discipline are important
Online counseling is effective by email.
I learned how important and convenient email communication can be when dealing with students. The security and ability to save the emails is invaluable.
With so many differing personalities, there are sure to be some situations in the online learning arena to challenge us as instructors. It's important to know the policies that are in place to help us manage our virtual classrooms and how to best help each student.
