Syllabus is very important, it lets the student know what is expected and what will need to be done, it can help them manage their time better to make sure all assignments are done.
The syllabus is a very important part of the learning process. Gives the student instructions in detail how, where, and when to follow in the course. Scaffolding has 8 tasks to be successful.
Online tools play a significant role in a student's success in a course. These tools serve as a foundation in building a community for the students; where interaction with the instructor, fellow students, or people within a group can be fostered and facilitate a deeper learning.
It is very important that clear instructions are given by online faculty so miscommunications are avoided.
It is important to build and provide a dynamic syllabus in order for students to successfully navigate the course to completion. It can change based on need for the students and new content building on the other content. Be sure to anticipate any online issues students' may have accessing information. Scaffolding is encouraged to build on prior knowledge and communication and collaboration are essentia.l
I learned the difference between a flat syllabus and a dynamic syllabus from this course. I need to revamp my syllabus to be more dynamic.
I'm really excited to add other forms of communicating and exchanging knowledge for my students! My problem will be to generate the enthusiasm for the discussion, as my subject is nor necessarily volatile. (Nutrition).
Be very detailed with your instructions regarding course communication and discussion in your syllabus, and its the Instructor's role to be th "tour guide" to help students map their success in an online course. Ensure students have an opportunity to build thier knowledge/skills through scaffolding opportunties in the modules or course learning outcomes.
This reassured me that a good syllubus is a key element and road for the course information and objectives. Also, i learned the effective tools to communicate in an online learnining emvironment.
That one of the most important parts of you course is to build a dinamic syllabus to help feed required information to the student.
Scaffolding remains an important part of student learning. In the classroom, it is important to identify and build upon students' prior knowledge in order to help reach the desired learning objectives. This is just as important in the online learning environment.
Buildfing on prior knowledge is always important! The thing that stood out the most is students should learn more from their usage of technology then just the mere having ihe technology. This should be an active and dynamic piece and one that students take ownership of!!
It is important to have a dynamic syllabus for the course. This will help guide the students' learning. It is also important to set up communication guidelines and how that will take place. Scaffolding of content will allow for all learniers to be successful in the course.
Effective communication is essential to online learners. As instructors, we must find accountable ways for learners to communicate their ideas of each lesson being taught. Participation points and encouraging collaboration with their peers are a few ways to help build the knowledge and skills of a learner.
I think that with good effective communicating from the start and use scaffolding to see what they have learned, teachers can see what they have with prior knowledge and continue to grow.
A detailed/dynamic syllabus is key to an online community. It must be detailed and yet able to change as issues or improvements arise. Remember, a flat text does not build this, it must be a "live" format (i.e, audio, or video, links, and detailed explanations). As S2I communication, is important to help a student feel apart of the community, so is S2S. You want to think of various ways to meet everyone's learning styles and comfort levels.
All good material. I'm reviewing this section again.
Creating a dynamic syllabus is a great introduction to the course.
Detailed instruction is key to the success of learning on-line. I will implement the scaffolding technique to insure that my students will have the structure to focus for student actiivities and to build upon their prior knowlege and experiences.
I have to be more aware of having discussions and communication. I need to work on that and to offer different types because again everyone is different and will be more comfortable with a specific way of communication. having a variety will hopefully reach all students.
