You cannot just use student evaluation to improve your online course

learned the importance of providing meaningful feeddback

I have learned in the course that there are several form of communication in which includes boy language communications. I will use this skill during my tours with prospective students in which allows for you to see if the applicant is engaged in the conversation and is present.  

I have learned to create an efficient record-keeping system of conversations with students regarding counseling and communication that pertain to assignments, discussion forums, and messaging.

I have learned that students have different learning styles that are grouped in categories. The few top categories mentioned are avoidant, competitive and dependent. The avoidant show no interest in the course and does not communicate with peers or instructor. Competitive students tend to dominate and desire to be better than other students. Dependent students tend to complete only what is required work and seeks direction from instructors.

I have learned the importance of maintains presence and authority when teaching an online course. Some of the ways to do so is to regularly post reminders of assignment deadlines and engage through discussion questions.  To help each student learn more about one another, have each student write a short biography of themselves. 

I have learned that is is important for the instructor to be familiar with the school’s CMS (computer management systems) to better help students navigate the courses and help them when troubleshoot any technical difficulties.
