Understanding the ins and outs of our CMS will help be support my students both technically and academcally.

What I've learned from this course, is that elearners are not much different than on ground. They require the same concern, and attention.  I find e-learning more difficult than on ground.

To be gentle to slower learners.  To keep everyones dignity because we are all learning

I've learned to remain professional at all times.  Never give too much personal information.  Always address students in their proper pronouns and respect for each individual. 

I've learned that not all adult learners are the same.  We all have different learning needs, and gravitate to a certain "style" (audio, visual, kinesthetic).  We must be flexible and compassionate enough, to learn and adapt to each style. 

I've learned that there are multiple ways to teach students and keep them engaged. Not everyone learns at the same place nor do they retain the information within the lecture the same. Most students are visual and/or hands on learners. I'm thankful to know how to pursue certain assignments while keeping this in mind. 

In face-to-face settings, active learning strategies like group projects, role-playing, and brainstorming are more easily implemented. Even while it requires more work from both the online teacher and the online student, they can also work in an online setting. 

What stood out most to me is the encouragement, if not expectation, to make our classes enjoyable for students. The atmosphere, albeit enjoyable, can foster cooperation, collaboration, and problem-solving.

Does anyone have any suggestions for creating student-centered announcements?

Having a system in place of responding to scholars questions, issues, or assignments in a timely manner will decrease possible problems later in the class.
