Conducting a survey in the beginning of the course to determine students' technology know-how

I am going to deteremine students' computer proficiency, in order to see if there is someone who might have a hard time within an online environment. If I indentify students who are technologically challenged, I will make sure to refer them to appropriate resources, as well as communite the need to their advisors. This will help students become successful in my course.

I am planning to reach students in a variety of ways, and not only via phone, emails, during live chats, or in the forum. Students who are always conntected will benefit from deadline reminders sent to their smart… >>>

A variety of teaching techniques and holistic approach

I think the course was truly valuable. It motivated me to expand my teaching techniques to reach even more students. I always strive to make teaching interactive and offer personalized feedback, but I truly enjoyed learning about a holistic approach. I am going to try and approach teaching from this perspective.

Technology moving forward

I think technology is keeping us - educators - on our toes. We need to take advantage of all the wonderful opportunities it offers to maximize the educational benefits for the students. We have so many more ways to engage to make learning more of an interactive process, ultimately increasing student motivation. Exciting!

@s101crider :It may be true you do not have to be a wizard to develop a great course. However, you need to have the knowledge of a specific discipline and teaching methodology.

Handling Immediacy Issues

Do you ever have problems putting things off till tomorrow? If you do, how do you handle them and still ensure the quality of the work? I do not have problems doing things well, but I drive myself crazy doing everything before the deadlines, and so on. Sometimes I wish I could procrastinate. :)

Questioning - these rare and uncomfortable situations

Once in a while we all encounter a student who just does not "get it", not matter what. What approach do you take with a student who clearly has not understood the subject matter, and keeps on asking the same questions over and over after you have offered several explanations? In the meantime, other students find these questions annoying, if not ridiculous. Do you offer to continue explanations after class? Sometimes my students would attempt to re-explain, but not always does it work. I do not want to discourage the student, but at the same time, I cannot focus on… >>>
