I have learned about different forms of communication, such as in-person conversations, phone calls, and written correspondence, and how each one is important in sharing information clearly. As an Admissions Representative, I will use these communication skills to answer questions, explain the admissions process, and help prospective students feel comfortable and supported throughout their experience.
 

Collaboration and Problem Based Learning (PBL) help students to develop critical thinking skills.

Reading, reflective writing, games, group activities or individual asynchronous activities using wiki or similar technology for active learning is effective to engage the on line learner.  

Communication is key always and making sure through this that the students have records of the behavior on the outcomes and the actions that follow this are key

That is important to have synchronous Conversations with single student students before clarification

Letting students get to familiarize themselves with you as an instructor and build a rapport with you

Familiarize myself with different platforms that I will be using throughout my career as an instructor

It may take instructor more time to plan and implement active learning than straight lecture.  Students may resist the active learning preferring passive learning.  It is important for the instructor to set the expectations of the class and let the students know active learning will be included in the course, what that means, and why it will help them to learn.

I’ve learned that correcting behavioral issues swiftly is the best policy. I have been setting expectations for my students on the first day of class and gently reminding them throughout. I’ve noticed that doing that eliminates a lot of issues upfront. If I can do that in a traditional classroom setting, I can also apply that to online learning.

I learned that you should limit synchronous learning to one student at a time depending on need for further explanation and clarification
