I especially like the idea of using an announcement video. My thought is to use this along with the written announcement, giving students an opportunity to read or listen. 

This course helped me to understand the application of respectful relationships, the appreciation of reality-based learning, being as receptive as possible and generating reflection on action. The four R’s of Andragogy will enable me to optimize my teaching skills with my students.

 
 

 

 

I love this module! What a simple reminder to take what is done well in the in-person environment and make it alive in the online environment. A big takeaway for me is ACCESSIBILITY. It doesn't matter if we do all these cool thing in course design and engagement--but if the student can't get to it, can't understand it, doesn't see the value of it... it won't help the learner.

I thought the section about intrinsic motivation was incredibly insightful. Inspiring the students to cultivate motivation from within is something we should all strive for as instructors. 

 

The leveraging of technology section was also great. It made me consider how best to deliver content to online learners. 

Years ago, I used to think that I needed to be in a classroom and have a professor in front of me to be able to learn. These days I would not change online education for anything. I can take the course at my own pace and study at odd hours from home. Online does require self-discipline and focus, but if you have a goal in mind you can reach it.

I really like the idea of an exit slip to assist students in self-reflection for a specific class meeting time and a way to assess where individuals are struggling and succeeding week by week. 

I really like the idea of giving students a self-assessment for how they feel about taking an online class. For some students, it may be their first online class and giving them the time reflect on how it is a different experience than in person can be very formative in their success or failure in the course moving forward. 

This module has been quite interesting.  Though the information does not seem too elaborated, it makes sense and appears to be easily incorporated.  The suggestions of content chunking and reaching the students in a variety of ways, are constructive ways of engaging online students that have parallel activities and little organized time to devote into their studies.  Social engagement seems also very appropiate to consider, since individuals are intrinsically motivated through meaningful relationships, established for with their peers and intstructor.

Because students are balancing work, home, school, and personal lives, I can offer reminders and announcements that help them stay motivated for their course and academic goals. 

I learned that it is important to have clear guidelines on communication. This will ensure that little to no errors may occur between students and teachers, as the expectations are clearly defined.
