Ask a question from your peers to help you in your professional work. Seek different points of view on a topic that interests you. Start a thought-provoking conversation about a hot, current topic. Encourage your peers to join you in the discussion, and feel free to facilitate the discussion.

Procrastinators

How do you all engage students who struggle with time management and procrastination? I know I have lots of students who end up completing their assignments an hour or less before they are due and I can tell the work is rushed. Any tips on helping students understand that procrastination, especially online is a poor habit?

Online Learning

Students must feel connected to the instructor in the online learning environment so that they feel connected and a part of the group. 

Managing the Online Classroom

It is important for faculty to get to know each student by observing, taking notes, and really learning each student. 

Active Learning

Students in the online environment can participate in active learning as they apply their knowledge to real-life experiences.

barriers to online learning

Lack of face to face interaction

 

How do you address disruptive communication in discussion forums?

One of the challenges I face with on-line learning is how to handle personal, disruptive communication, as well as negativity in discussion forums.  How do you as an instructor address this issue?

Dynamic syllabus updates during a current session?

The statement that was suggested to place on the syllabus: "This dynamic syllabus is updated and expanded with greater detail as each module is made available. Please check the dynamic syllabus often to stay current with all updates."

This statement suggests that changes can be made during a current course. 

My understanding is that a syllabus should not be modified during a current course session but can be modified, revised, or updated for the next session. These modifications are based on new evidence as well as feedback from faculty and students. 

Can changes to a syllabus be made during a current session of a course? 

Thank you in advance -

Chuncking

I learned about learning objectives and chuncking

Developing an online course

I want my learning objectives to be interactive and able to use them in all classes.  If there are any suggestions on interactive activities please let me know.  I am using practice quizzes, study guides to complete, and Discussion boards (I have posted a case study that the group could discuss on the discussion board)

Hybrid Course

I am teaching the hybrid course first time, I found its challenging to engage students both in-person and online. 

Juan Carlos Garcia

I am a new instructor but I tell you that I am passionate about teaching, and I see that this space is very useful for that objective since I did not allow this work to be professionalized, and add to that the contributions that the team presents that further enrich the objective pursued by the course.
I tell you one of my strategies as a teacher is to empower my students to create a scenario of proactivity and transfer them to an environment where knowledge is the core of our talk. In that sense, my question is. How important is it to promote these skills to generate knowledge in our students?
