EL104
I just finished taking EL 104 and found it to be very interesting. Engaging students in an online course is a challenge. This course provided strategies to help engage students in online discussions. If anyone has any other suggests, I would like to hear about them.
Thanks!
This course was very informative. Now I know more about what
I'm suppose to do. Engaging students is challenging. Unfortunately,
we help them with their computer or life issues. Students need
discipline to be successful in an online class.
Hi, Esther. I just finished this course about the same time you did :) I found that the course reinforced the format of the online course I am teaching in which we hold a weekly synchronous seminar. I think the seminars are very informative for the students. The students can either attend the seminar (review it later if they choose not to attend) or take a quiz. This gives me a chance to cover important parts of the assignment and unit. I also taught an asynchronous course in the fall, which I used email to deliver and cover the assignment and unit. It is interesting comparing the two although the subject matter differed. Anyway, this course reinforced what I consider "best practices." Have a great Easter.
