This is great. It fortifies what we already know.

Teaching online learners has helped me to really evaluate students learning habits and time management skills. We have been working on techniques such as how to be successful in class during virtual learning and they enjoy it. 

I would like to share a situation I had in my last four online classes. I constantly communicated with students and sent reminders each week.

I was suprized that 80% of the students in each class sent me personal emails thanking me for the constant email remindres.

I learned a lot from this course.

This course helped great deal in providing ideas and guidance how to teach the students remotely. I haven't  taught an online course yet, but this course prepared me with tools needed if I am called to teach an online course. 

Without any students, there will not be a need for a professor. I am highly interested in my students learning and becoming successful, I try to put myself in their shoes. Learning is a lifelong process. I also learn from my students. 

I certainly enjoyed all the information.  It's truly great to see that many of the questions and concerns that I have as an instructor were covered.  Many times, I hate to admit, we are scared to maybe "think", what others may be doing.  I feel much better, because many of the questions I've been thinking of were indeed covered.  What I found very interesting is the type of student we may get in our classes, I must say it's always a variety of people, personalities, and work ethic.  

this was very helpful training

I lerned alot of information from this course

I learned  the difference between asynchronous and synchronous discussion meetings to assess my students' needs better and effectively facilitate course content.  

i learned how to deal and managingdiffrent types of learner

The course was very informative and proved a lot of key points on identifying student behavior and interaction qualities.

I feel like this will help me better cultivate good discussions and I am excited with having the best interactive experience in my classes.  I think this will have the very best interactive experiences.  

Now more than ever students need the support of faculty members who will guide and facilitate their learning. Students are scared, unable to process the daily realities discussed on the news, in some instances their family and as such will need instructional and technical support. In a time like this, online learning needs to ensure structural integrity, academic integrity, navigational simplicity, intellectual interactions and active learner centred teaching.

A welcoming first impression will alow students to feel welcomed and that the instructor cares.  It is very rewarding when students open up and ask for help in what ever it is they need.  That trust and bond grows the the rest of the semester.

Teaching Online Learners is a challenging task when you have 9th graders that will be using Canvas LMS for the first time. I will have to center instruction on How to use Canvas during my orientation.

Some of the more powerful learning experinces in the online courses I have taught are when a student suggests an approach to a technique or method of problem solving,  that is new to me., as well as the rest of the class.  I celebrate these moments.  Even if it is just something that I had not presented yet, but which lends to the subject at hand, I will highlight it. This helps to foster lateral leadership where students feel empowered to shre their perspectives knowing that it could be useful for the entire class.  

I gain a lot of valuable inofrmation to help me create an inclusive and productive e-learning environment. I am excited about implementing key points mentioned in the lessons provided. My goal is to help students feel comfortable with the online process. I feel comfortable implementing the strategies that I have gained from this training.

Lesson learned.  I am an online instruction under a college teaching ELL.  Its difficulty especially when you have language barriers.  Nevertheless, to engage the students, I've learned to commit to showing the students respect, and incorporate their learning styles.  I've learned to use breakout rooms to engage students with a partner on any given assignment.  In the future I will utilize more discussions with assignments.  Therefore we can discuss and engage in real time.  In addition have students post their answers in course related forum and general questions in general areas platform. (Think, Pair, Share)

A practice that I learned and will implement, is to establish a great relationship with my students by providing a short survey for my students to learn about their interests and then to engage them in a discussion about those interests!

My best advice is to get ahead of any issues by being proactive.  Check-in with students and parents on a regular, just because.

My challenges with the current situation of the COVID - 19 has been at the high school level we could not do live video. Creating and recording lessons was very challenging and time consuming. There have been to many students and teachers that do not have access to the internet or even computers. I do not feel comfortable putting anything on Utube for students to access. The biggest challenge is the special education students. By law we must give them an evaluation with the IEP and we can not enter the house to evaluate the student. The only way I… >>>
