About me

Hi, I am Daron A. Collins an online instructor for UMA since Feb or 2012. I enjoy teaching with the most personal approach. I have been a sports fanatic for my entire life, I like to bring the team spirit gusto to my teaching techniques. I am from New Orleans and am the ultimate Saints fan. In addition to my sports I am a family man, loving each moment with my wife and three daughters.

Activity

This course has given me more knowledge to teach in my virtual learning environment and understand the importance of organizing my course content. I also learned about the important role technology tools play in teaching and organizing an online course while learning the difference between synchronous and asynchronous learning. This course was a blessing. Thank you

I plan you use the information from this course to teach, assess, and revise my online course/class. During this course I learned how to develop an assessment plan including self- and peer-assessment as you progress through the course. I’m am excited to apply the new ideas I learned for a better student-centered learning class, with activities and intellectual interactions using a variety of technology tools.

I have yet to find the best way to get student's to write substantial discussion posts and engage in meaningful responses. I go as far as telling them that they are not gaining anything if the simply agree and don't challange each other. Can you give me some examples and pointers on how to get the student's better involved with the discussion board? Looking forward to hearing form you, Daron A. Collins
