Online Learning and Globalization

Today's online students are better prepared for the modern workplace, which is mostly digital, and completely computerized. Our students are prepared for the modern corporate business plan of working with co-workers around the globe through virtual tools.

Cheating Hurts Everyone

When students engage in cheating and other dishonest behavior, and it is allowed to go unchecked, we all suffer. For starters the student does not learn the material. That student enters the workforce unprepared and cannot advance. Further the employer will perceive the student's learning institution poorly because of the student's deficiencies.

Podcasts and Webinars

I found success this semester with assigning a podcast or webinar to participate in, and then we have a discussion in class about the topic. Additionally, I have asked students to find current events related to our topic and introduce their story in class. I found that the transition from outside (class) to inside was well received and enthusiactically supported. I remind them that they are learning the skill of talking about our dynamic industry and using terms they will use when they engage colleagues or potential employers. The presentation helps to facilitate the aformentioned future experiences. I would be… >>>

Student Interest

I seem to see the potential of the on line courses more than the students do. They view the acts of completing the on-line portion as perfunctory rather than neccessary or beneficial. They value on ground training more. How does an instructor best frame the discussion to motivate students to "get in the on-line game?"

Authentic assessment:

The reasons we as educators crate a tests or assessment is to find out how much student learned during the course, which in my opinion it is not correct way to find out from test, but what other way we have to find out? It is not perfect way but at least 60% give us a results about our teaching system. If we are smart, which we are, than we are going to find out to fix the problem by having a technology, new method of teaching, and let student be interactive in class room and participate in all activity.The… >>>
