One method I use for evaluating a course is to review student grades and feedback for the course, this helps me plan for revisions in my next course.

Feedback

One way to incorporate relative feedback is to use tables to show the part of the assignment, points possible, and points earned with a note. This helps break down the components of the assignment.

Communication

I honestly use weekly videos to provide communication of specific topics, this helps eliminate confusion and I also open dialogue via welcome calls.

Course plan

Creating an effective classroom requires a ton of planning and wow factors. I like to incorporate youtube videos with weekly summaries to provide an extra layer of scaffolding.

Current events

One way to engage students in discussion forums is to provide resources that tie the topic to current events, this way students have a more visual representation of the topic.

Instructor presence starts from Day 1

As an instructor it is important to establish your presence in the course and welcome calls are a great way to start!

Reaching our students

Everyday we struggle to reach our students and make sure they understand what is expected of them. What more can we try? One method which is quite effective at establishing the role of instructor is to place a welcome call to the students.
