This module gave me practical strategies to better support my students—managing communication, advising effectively, handling disruptive behaviors, resolving conflicts, and most importantly, preventing dropout in online learning
Just completed Module 3 of the EL102 course! I learned how to encourage participation in both asynchronous and synchronous discussions, adapt strategies based on class size and student needs, and provide timely, motivating feedback.
Hi everyone,
In this course I learned how important it is to project presence and build connections from day one. I plan to apply this by requesting student bios and staying active in the forums.
Thanks for the insights!
Wrapped up the first module of the EL102. We explored key elements of quality online learning—like course structure, navigation, student support, and interaction strategies. Great insights to rethink how we teach and connect in virtual environments.
I learned the importance of allowing time to 'chat" before and after a synchronous class discussion.
This course is laying the groundwork for establishing a good online presence with your students and interacting in a professional manner
I have learned that if I am not proficient and knowledgeable during the online courses, then my students will feel the same.
Because my course is just starting up anew since Covid it definitely need revision, and I am grateful for these suggestions.
I like the idea of creating an FATQ section for a course. Many students have technology issues within their course and it would be efficient to have a guide for troubleshooting or a list of people to contact for certain issues.
Very good to learn about variable teaching methods to keep students involved & interacting.
