Excelente curso, nos muestra la importancia de mantener el interes de los estudiantes y sobre lo relevante que es la interacción social en linea.
Changing the way a student learns can motivate them. Having an active learning environment with motivational engagement will allow the student to stay focused and want to actually larn what is being taught. Also feedback is very important throughout the entire learning process. Another very important thing I learned is to allow the students to discuss subject amongst eachother without hand holding but an occassional encouraging word to let them know they are doing well.
Enaging online learners and keeping them engaged is a very difficult task, more difficult than strictly in person learning. You have to develop a great asynchronous learning module to help assist in the overall learning of the subject matter. Knowing how to develop and maintain great communication with your students is as equally important.
Motivational engagement is vital for student success. One can create this through building relationships, engaging in exciting structures and activities, and having a student-centered focus. I love that this further deepened my resolve to always teach as a facilitator. One can always do more to engage students in person and virtually, and I am here to continue learning how to do so.
I like the tip about sending reminders for assignments. I usually just expect them to refer to their syllabus but this is a tool I will implement.
What I liked best about this course format was that it wasn't all about things that MUST be done but you can get a sense that you're not a collossal failure as an online instructor. It's not about all the different technological bells and whistles and the focus is on working within the LMS. It addressed older students as well - something most of the EL classes have not done.
I truly have enjoyed this module. Not only did it recap things that I'm currently doing that I did not realize it was an actual learning method but it introduced new ways of reacting with my students and providing them with additonal tools. Since Covid our program has been based on a Hybrid method which I honestly was not sure about but have come to enjoy. It allows students that are working or just having busy lives outside of trying to set career goals achieve them but it allows me time to taylor to the ones that need that extra help in obtaining their goals. This module has given me more ideas on how to improve on that and come up with additonal ways to motivate and interact with all of them.
I have learned that we need to provide efficient and effective feedback for our students in order for them to be successful.
I have learned how to create Motivational engagement and will definitely work on this side of it.
An interesting discussion on engagement and outreach.
This module held valuable reminders and tips/tricks to improve my choices for instruction. I have added the video feedback to speeches submitted online. This simple act has improved the speeches tremendously as the semester progresses. I tried the Remind system but found it too time intensive for the number of students I manage. After listening to this module, I relook at the system for reminders. I use CANVAS options for reminders, but sometimes forget this step. I'll strive to improve the reminder system I have in place. Afterall students are super busy and easily distracted.
What this has tought me is that we as instructors need to find different methods on how to keep students engaged and it gave up some tips on what we can do to keeps students motivated throughout the course.
I understand it is important to keep the students engaged and for them not to procrastinate... I love the suggestions, but sometimes I feel that we are adults and they need to be accountable for their work. Nursing is a rewarding career and one who wants to bring care to the community is already motivated personally. I like the idea of putting out reminders for those of us who are taking on a lot when it comes to personal distractions.
This is a wonderful course, I really like the tips!
I have learned from this course it takes a lot of effort from the instructor's end to keep students engaged and that small gestures such as contact with students before the course begins matter for course success!
I liked this course. I think the best ideas I came away with were: weekly engagement posts in the general chat, instructional videos to back up the walkthroughs I give them on the software in case they want to refresh themselves when class isn't in session (without having to scan back through hours of video), and introductory emails sent out before the class even begins.
The concept of welcoming students from many differnt people in your organization and how important that is to make students feel not only welcome but wanted and valuable.
This was precious training, helping me focus on the areas I need to improve in my teaching. Being more effective and efficient in my feedback and giving consistent reminders will be a great addition to my teaching habits. I am also sending emails to check up on students who are doing poorly.
A lot of this module has made me confident in what we are doing currently. Good reminders for faculty are chunking and using different instructional methods to engage all learners,
This information was great and surprisingly informing. i have always struggled with keeping students engaged'now i can create ways to keep them focus and motivated. First students need to know that you care about your job, have ways students can contact you or othee staff. encourage getting to know other students and each other information. make them feel that they are a part of things
