Activity

The young adults taking courses now seem to prefer asynchronous courses—do at their own pace around their work or family schedule. I found hybrid works better for heavier topics, where an instructor can explain difficult concepts. Finding a way to have that benefit incorporated into asynchronous learning would be valuable.

Using activities and various content delivery types to engage the learner and increase their involvement.

US civil rights act mentioned. Content would be better to be Canadian reference instead. And obviously, this section was written prior to the last presidency.

however, getting to know the students, understanding more about their cultures and traditions, is very valuable in making that connection to the students and building a relationship of trust and mutual respect.

Curious about alternative assessment strategies with ELL students being used in college programs yet when national board exams are written, no such accommodation occurs.

Don’t make the assumption that low English skills means low intelligence levels. A lot of my ELL students are highly intelligent. Provide them with a safe and comfortable environment and challenge them.

ELL students succeed with caring instructors and supportive environment

Respect for cultural differences should be at the center of the instructor's approach to ELL students

benefits to students and educators. Plagiarism check add on to LMS needed as plagiarism using AI is increasing

help explain. give ideas. review questions, create videos of concepts? Plagarism is a concern. 

A lot of possibilities with AI use in Education. Some drawbacks but all in favor of using it in the classroom.
