Activity

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.

Hello everyone,

This module helped me understand the importance of designing authentic assessments that are clearly aligned with learning outcomes. I especially appreciated the role of peer feedback and detailed rubrics, as they promote active learning and help strengthen the sense of community in online environments.

Wishing you all the best as you continue the course!

Hello everyone,

In this module, I learned the importance of designing online assessments that not only measure knowledge but also support the learning process through timely feedback, self-assessment opportunities, and clear model answers. I also understood the complementary value of synchronous and asynchronous discussions in enhancing student engagement.

I plan to apply these insights by organizing my courses with well-contextualized tasks, multiple-attempt quizzes, and formative feedback that encourages students to reflect and grow independently.

Best of luck to you all in the upcoming modules!

Hello everyone,

In this module, I learned the importance of designing online learning experiences that integrate both synchronous and asynchronous strategies, with clear structure, student-centered activities, and meaningful interactions. I will especially focus on reinforcing the use of guest speakers, as they add real-world value to the content and increase student engagement. I will continue applying these strategies to build more dynamic, inclusive, and effective learning environments.

Wishing you all great success in the next modules!

Hello everyone!

From this module, I’ve learned that quality online courses are built on four key pillars: structural integrity, ease of navigation, student-centered learning, and intellectual interaction.

These elements ensure that learning is engaging, accessible, and effective. I plan to apply this by designing online learning experiences that are clearly organized, interactive, and responsive to diverse learning styles.

Wishing you lots of success in the upcoming modules.
