Content chunking is my type of review.  It creates a different way for students that are having difficulty understanding the concept on the first go round.

As a beginner to teaching online courses, this was very helpful.

This was a great course. 

I learned that technology can enhance or or hinder how a message is received; I plan to make sure that I am using technology the correct way to make sure all communication stays professional and thoughtful of the student.

I have learned that my use of Remind is an important task!

Students do well when they have a sense of belonging and community interaction.  They also do well when encouraged to share their ideas, their experiences and perspectives.  When we can spend some time during a discussion board or during a lecture session and they have this opportunity to share, and we also, as a class and as the instructor can share, comment and encourage, there is more engagement in the course.  All of this can center on and circle around topics in the course itself.

One thing I took away from this module is the importance of both social and motivational engagement in online courses. Many students are balancing work, school, and family responsibilities, so things like clear instructions, reminders, and instructor participation can help keep them engaged. Moving forward, I would like to improve how certain assignments are explained by possibly including examples or brief clarifications, while also continuing to participate in discussions and connect my own experiences to students’ posts to help maintain a sense of community in the course.

This topic helped me reinforce that online learning works best when students feel connected. Moving forward I want to focus on desgining lessons that encourage more engagement so students stay motivated and get the most out of the learning experience. 

Instead of just providing facts, focus on their confidence with immediate feedback. Low-stakes feedback to prevent learners from giving up.

Its important to keep students engaged in order to help them absorb the knowledge and also to create connections during their time online since this is going to be their first appearance in the industry; this is their first contact with the reality of the music that lives out there.
