Quality e-learning courses employ the capabilities of learning delivery technologies to foster multi-sensory learning experiences, and multimedia learning environments that are controlled and managed by the learner’s action and decisions.

Course content needs to include activities where critical thinking and problem-solving are practiced by the students. Activities like case studies can be assigned to workgroups that can meet via zoom or any other interactive two-way communication format to discuss and work together to find solutions to the problem presented. It is important that whatever activity is assigned has built-in strategies for engaging every student.

Every Student has a different learning style. Each student has a different approach in the learning process

With the ever-shrinking attention span of today's learners, I find it challenging to keep their attention on learning activities. Cell phones are the worst thing to have happened to the modern student, in my opinion. Today's teachers have to try to capture the goldfishlike attention span of modern students. I'm wondering how we as educators, can successfully compete for the attention span of unmotivated students in a digital environment with flashy content that may or may not serve to instill the desired competencies. (Just a thought.) 

Asynchronous Learning is learning that is needed in today's environment.  With the changes we saw during the pandemic it is needed for K-12, but also for adult learners. 

For this discussion, I would like you to respond to the following question, providing examples of how you would resolve the problem:  Students have complained that online classes (asynchronous) do not involve the opportunity to ask questions and get quick responses from instructors the way they would in a face-to-face or a synchronous class.  I have seen some courses include an "ask the teacher" open discussion post available for students, but this doesn't provide the spontaneous Q and A I think that they are looking for.  I have created a Zoom hour for some of my classes, but these have… >>>

Touch points in a static class really seem to enhance a course even when it is asynchronous.

Online education uses digital tools to achieve the teaching and learning process, creates a virtual environment to facilitate communication between students and teachers, which is why online education encourages interaction and the creation of collaborative and feedback ties. with the purpose of sharing and building knowledge. On the other hand, we must guarantee quality so that the learning process is effective.

Should college classes eliminate letter grades and only submit pass or fail?

It is important to share information with students that they can apply to real life experiene as well as information that they can connect with.

Tell me what you expect out of an online course.

We sometimes forget that students come from different environments; therefore, it is important as instructors to design the courses accordingly.

Is there anyone here that includes live sessions in their online teaching?

It is very difficult to find effective software for online learning.  Some very repected companies just put out software that is an image of the textbook that reads the words aloud and moves the graphics around in a very crude manner.  Is there a location or a blog where people post virtual learning activities that are actually worth the money, or even free?
