I teach in the Early Childhood Department and have recently started encouraging students to think outside of the typical question and answer verbal responses by encouraging the use of social media and interactive apps for ticket out discussions. I would love suggestions from others using this format.

I work in higher education and have a class of 46 students in a foundation of nursing theory class. The students vary in age from 19-35 and I can see differences in work ethic and in the ability of the older students to remain focused. What are some of your best strategies for keeping the entire class engaged?

It is so important for students to feel comfortable and safe in their environment to share thoughts, questions, and ideas. 

Gaming and Simulation can have a positive impact with regards to achieving specific learning objectives. Three learning outcomes focus on: cognitive, behavioral, and affective learning. The main barriers are Prep time, Poor fit for subject content, and lack of information. Over time these barriers should lessen as more options and information becomes available.

Do you have suggestions for the best way to gather data on PK (for online training, not for school based eLearning)? Have you tried incorporating it into trainings? If so, what worked best for you?

Considero que la clase se hace menos impersonal.

indudablemente que todas las personas queremos permanecer en aquel lugar donde nos valoran como individuos, nos entienden nuestras necesidades y limitaciones y nos apoyan para poder mantenernos dentro de un proceso, en este caso se trata del proceso enseñanza - aprendizaje,  en linea.

 Todos los estudiantes están esperando equipos de atención personalizada en el menor tiempo posible, por esa razón es de vital importancia que ademas de las herramientas tecnológicas adecuadas, se tenga personal altamente capacitado tanto en el area docente como de soporte administrativo que sea sensible a las necesidades de cada estudiante.

I feel that this is one of the aspects in which the timely and effective response must be worked on, it can be one of the fundamental factors to improve the level of retention in our classes.

Do you know of any method or technique that is useful for the fragmentation of content and activities, I have thought of fragmentation by study topics, I do not know if any of you have used any other method that I can share

What about the dark learners we get some that are not nice people and are conniving.really bad attiutes . generally victoms all the time.

I understand that wikis and blogs can be used to host media sites but then my question goes to... How to collect for the course as far as compensation goes.  Once paid how do I get the student lined up to begin the course?  

I think a hurdle to planning for active engagmentrelates to using LMS and having modules for courses Some instructors do not know they can (and should) alter assignments to meet student needs and to set up lessons for increased engagment. I am enjoying this course so far and look forward to learning more 

I don't understand what this means with the EL 111 Assistive Technology, "

• Use preset “Styles” for marking up headers and lists. Just bolding a phrase does not make it accessible.

First, I am not sure what is meant by preset "styles"?

"Business students may follow Donald Trump." What is being insinuated in a a comment like this?

That business students can learn NOT to cheat and lie? Or does it mean something else altogether?

I am always amazed at just how much I learn from my students. My area of specialty id Nephrology Nursing. Therefore, when I have students in many disciplines within our profession, it intrigues me just how different yet similar our profession can be. Loved to hear your thoughts as well.
