I learned that being an instructor takes different approaches and is very similar to customer service. Instructors and students are in partnership and it takes a relationship to help the student stay focused, having fun and attending school regularly.

Motivational engagement holds the key to developing focus in online learning. Think about things like clear instructions, good feedback, or technology. Which one motivates you most? What can teachers do to make that motivation stronger?

As the internet becomes more and more dispensable with a vast section of society, the significance and importance of online communication is also becoming quite evident. Any communication which takes places between individuals to individuals or group of individuals or between entities to individuals or groups of entities is referred to as online communication. The communication can happen in many ways. It could be in the form of text sent across to various recipients in the through mails or even using various social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp. 

Where does online communication fit into this specific course?

One of the biggest takeaways from this course has been the importance of intentional communication in building strong working alliances with students. While technology provides numerous ways to connect with learners, I have learned that the quality of those interactions often matters more than the quantity.

As an Esthetics Instructor, I have found that personalized communication, timely feedback, and genuine encouragement help students feel supported and engaged. I am especially interested in incorporating more proactive outreach, coaching-oriented feedback, and relationship-building messages that foster a sense of belonging and community.

I am curious to hear from others: What communication strategies have been most effective in helping your online students feel connected, supported, and motivated? Have you found any specific relational writing techniques that significantly improved student engagement or retention?

I look forward to learning from your experiences and ideas.

¿Como podemos trabajar los distractores educativos?

One challenge I continue to think about as an online instructor is how to encourage meaningful engagement from students who may be balancing work, family responsibilities, and school. While discussion boards and assignments can promote participation, it can sometimes be difficult to create the same sense of connection and community that develops naturally in a face-to-face classroom.

I would love to hear from other educators:

What strategies have you found most effective for building a sense of community and encouraging authentic student engagement in an online course?

Have you used any activities, technologies, or communication methods that significantly improved participation, motivation, or student success?

I am always looking for new ways to help students feel connected, supported, and invested in their learning, and I would appreciate hearing about your experiences and best practices.

What are your favorite free online sources that are easily incorporated into classroom content, specifically with nursing?

Hello All-

Have you found any free tools for online gaming in the classroom that work well? 

I enjoyed the various ways to make online communication more affective to the students. I plan to use ARC and make my emails more personal for the students so they feel seen and heard.

Online can be beneficial for some people who are single parents that work but it can be hard. I was doing online school at one point for teaching and it frustrated me when my instructors would never email me back or communicate with me, so it can be good but it can be misconstrued with something’s that might be taken the wrong way due to lack of tone of voice, body language or facial expressions. If it gets to the point again where everything is virtual I plan to do zoom meetings with my class to allow them to feel seen and heard!

La andragogía es entender como aprenden los adultos en un entorno basado en experiencias vividas y como aplican en su actividad diaria, para ello es importante saber que cada individuo tiene diferentes formas de concebir el conocimiento y adaptarlo a sus necesidades.

I learned that everyone is different and can get a different sense of fulfillment depending on how they learn online or traditionally. I plan to use traditional and implement technology into my classroom to give the students all the resources can to be successful and gain the knowledge they need for their education.

I learned that online and in person learners need to have an educator that helps motivate them, be empathetic and understanding towards them and also allow for them to feel comfortable, safe and heard in the classroom 

Aprendí que la mejor manera de enseñar, es hacer participes activamente a los estudiantes, motivandolos a participar y no solo que se sientan como espectadores o receptores de puros mensajes, porque la manera más efectiva de aprender, es con la practica y discusión de los temas

I learned at the core student learning at Most involve connect with students personally. This helps build connections; communication and community

Being self disciplined I one of the major reasons most students 25+ years old students are successful. They have more to lose most times because of they are most times parents. They must advocate for themselves most time and that takes lot of courage and confidence.
