Variety of instruction is important. Catering to the different learning styles is essential to student learning.
It will be a benefit using a blog in an online course.
Consideration of what students need hasn't changed too much, but the way you present information must change. Students still learn in different ways, so the way you present your class has to address these different ways.
I do feel one must put in a lot more thouight in how the class is structured in order to meet most of the same needs...there are several more ways of transfering infrmation beside those ways some of us older teachers were used to...
I really enjoyed this topic! I learned about the importance of understanding that the online course is an experience. Students should be provided with a dynamic range of activities and resources that will properly benefit their learning. By the same token, it's important not to overwhelm the students. Therefore, students need to also be able to depend on consistency, ease of use, and reliability.
It is important to review tools for effectiveness and stay organized. I Also feel that sending a Welcome letter and best wishes letter at the end of the course is important. I always implement those letters. Also on the first day of school i have a Welcome powerpoint presentation that allows me to introduce myself to the class an tell them a little bit about my educational background. I then do an ice breaker to help them get to know each other.
I agree that the content or the order in which content is designed and displayed plays an intricate part in the gradual building of information into more advanced studies.
I wish I had read this section before designing my first nine-weeks lesson plans. I will take these thing into account as I go forward.
It's important to reflect on the facilitation process and in doing so it helps instructors to improve their teaching and identify and test strategies that will improve learning. Another integral element modifying content and this should be continuous. Likewise, instructors must always find ways to promote student engagement and how content is provided and delivered in an online environment.
Just being consistent and organized.
As an instructor I like to keep things organized and clearly marked in modules. I try to find videos and other worksheets or assignments to enhance the students learning.
It's important to take your personal teaching style into account when designing and online course.
making sure your videoes and leatures are organized.
Orchestration in continually developing new material and adapting learning material with each data gathered from previous classes is very critical to continuing success and experience for the student.
you have to take alot into mind when trasefering f2f to onlien coures
Keeping students engaged during certain topics is incredibly hard F2F and even harder online. Through different types of engagememt tools and change ups I can help direct and keep them on topic.
The information concerning delivery methods, how to modify course contents I found most useful.
Its important not to simply use the same teaching style that you would for in person classroom. Teachers have to adapt to the new normal to ensure that the classes remain effective for the student learning experience. Teachers have to go an extra step in communication and ensure that the students understand the lessons at hand.
It is very important to be prepared and set things up in time to provide students with ample time to complete work so they will not feel rushed and overwhelmed.
I learned how important it is to communicate clearly the content to the students to promote participation and engaging.
I am beginning to see a need to separate each activity,assignment and assessment to reflect on ftines to goal but then integrate to enhance engagement
