Activity

In this module, we learned about the importance of virtual internships as inclusive and flexible opportunities for students. We also explored the challenges of working in virtual environments, the role of ICTs, and how to build professional networks. We understood that VIs are a growing trend and a key entryway into the workforce.

In this module, we learned to identify the opportunities and risks of virtual internships, exploring how they work, their benefits, and how to avoid scams. Understanding these keys is essential for making informed and safe choices.

In this unit, we learned that evaluating a course requires using multiple tools and data sources to improve teaching and learning. Student evaluations alone are not enough; you need to review syllabi, assignments, portfolios, interviews, and peer observations to close the loop and improve your course.

In this module, we learned that meaningful feedback is essential to improve learning in online courses. Feedback should be clear, specific, linked to learning objectives, and adapted to the student’s needs. It’s also important to provide feedback in different formats (written, audio, visual) and to foster a positive relationship between the student and the instructor.

In this module, we learned the importance of providing feedback in online learning. We focused on designing a solid course framework, giving clear instructions, and using scaffolding techniques to support learning. We also discussed creating an effective and collaborative online learning environment.

Hello everyone, in this module I learned that consistency in course design helps students understand and navigate the course more easily, reusing learning objects saves time and effort, and continuous testing and improvement are essential to creating a successful online course.

This module gave me practical strategies to better support my students—managing communication, advising effectively, handling disruptive behaviors, resolving conflicts, and most importantly, preventing dropout in online learning

Just completed Module 3 of the EL102 course! I learned how to encourage participation in both asynchronous and synchronous discussions, adapt strategies based on class size and student needs, and provide timely, motivating feedback.

Hi everyone,

In this course I learned how important it is to project presence and build connections from day one. I plan to apply this by requesting student bios and staying active in the forums. 

Thanks for the insights!

Wrapped up the first module of the EL102. We explored key elements of quality online learning—like course structure, navigation, student support, and interaction strategies. Great insights to rethink how we teach and connect in virtual environments.
