When you do not have the opportunity to speak in a lecture to your students about the "pearls" they should take from the lesson they are on, scaffolding becomes your means to make sure these ideas are conveyed.    

I have many scaffolding tools I have collected over the years with teaching Billing and Coding online, which, I must admit, at one time, I never thought possible.  I still would like to see pass rates of online classes compared to on ground classes just to satisfy my own curiosity.

It is important to not limit your tool of use for… >>>

I really enjoyed this class probably more than any of the others I have taken. It really gave me a lot of information that I am excited to look at including the websites of tools for my students! We are starting a new LMS next week so this will incorporate nicely into our next adventure!

I will incorporate what I have learned regarding assisting students in the online environement in my future courses- very informative course. Thank you

The Online Teaching Techniques course was very helpful!  I will be applying some of the principles presented in the course to my traditional (hybrid) classroom-style courses that utilize an online CMS for course materials, discussion posts, etc.

I have some experience on online Teaching.

Setting Clear expectations and  timely feedback is very important for online classes

Hello,

This course reminded me of the importance of my influence as an online instructor in my course. It is very important to project my authority and presence from a distance for my online students.  As I was completing this training, I realized that I always have these four different types of learners in my course. This training taught me how to deal with my noisy learners by sending them an email personally to advise them to remain on the existing thread. For my quiet learner, I can ask them a direct question to have them share their ideas or… >>>

Good informaiton obtained in this module! Will help with chosing technology to use in the online classroom.

This was a great module that refreshed my memory with online features that I do not always use. 

I discovered several tools/activities that I will incorporate into my classes. A couple of examples are:

* I will send a personal email at the end of the first week of class. The email will go to each student individually and will include something that they mentioned in their initial post. I will ask for the best number and time to reach them and give them my contact information, the best ways to reach me and the hours I am available. I will also include a motivational quote.

* The second thing I will include in my upcoming courses is… >>>

I feel the best practice with the online classes is to stay in touch with the student and make sure that you are there for them.

Anytime we have an opportunity to learn how to better manage our time is win-win. We must always look for the value in these learning experiences. 

I enjoyed this course actually.  I have found teaching on line to be quite effective.  I was an on-line instructor for an OPEN LAB for ASN students.  It was not a mandated lab, but once you registered it became mandatory for them.  I started with 6 students, and then word of mouth got out and my class was average about 37 students per class.  It was amazing.  I have kept track of the statistics on the learners who graduated, took their exit exams and passed NCLEX RN.  My on-line teaching and the way I projected my teaching these students all… >>>

Our university has recently started a "flipped classroom" with online lessons and then a classroom for adult learners to actually do activities like "design" in the classroom and study at your own pace at night.

This is slighted modifed from the the EL 104 course but many of the discussions on organization and facilitation are all important to student learning.

Self and peer assessments are a valuable tool to improve student learning.  This is a valuable tool to assist students in the workforce when being evaluated. 

By taking this course, I realized the importance of an interactive sylabus. This ia a great idea, and I plan to implement that in my course. I also would like to incorporate self- and peer- evaluations.

This was probably the best MaxKnowledge course I have taken thus far. I learned many key skills to improving my planning, communicating, time management and course revision. These are skills that will be vital to the success for myself and the orginazation I work for. I plan to re-evaluate how I process my workload and revise my methods with these new skills I have learned.

I enjoy completing this training, I will implement all the learning tools in my daily teaching. I will create better and engaging announcement inside my classroom, which will help keep my students envolve in the course and the material they need to learn. 

The shift towards student centered and active learning is essential in producing passionate, competent and engaging individuals. It seems that primary schooling has moved away from this concept in requiring more standardized tests and teaching surrounding this. I enjoyed the several examples of active learning provided including the use of GPS to map activities.

This course had some great tips on time management techniques while teaching an online course. It seems promoting significant student-student interaction and interdependence is important in not getting bogged down with student questions and emails. I liked the suggestion of including not only a FAQ but also a FAQT for technology issues and concerns. Also, keeping links and other documents in one folder will be a technique I will incorporate. Often links to external media such as YouTube videos break and need to be replaced.

This course included good organization tips for a learning environment. I appreciate the distinctions made between the different roles of an online instructor and facilitator. Having a good balance of communication methods seems to be the most effective way of engaging and encouraging high levels of student learning. I intend to incoporate some synchronous class meetings in addition to asynchronous methods. Sometimes it is nice to have that 'human' and personal touch of visualization and face to face engagement if possible.
