Activity
Multiple inputs are crucial to get holistic evaluation of the course.
The framework works as a skeleton for the course. Carefully created is a base for the good quality course.
Great knowledge on how to start the course in proper way.
Be the example and develop your skills.
The module provided us with quick overview on different types of students, and issues we can face in on-line class. Keeping this information in mind will help me manage different student types more effectively.
Information on synchronous and synchronous learning are valuable especially, if we look at the differences between the two.
Also remembering how we provide feedback to students is important.
I do agree that projecting you authority is important but being available and keeping open lines of communications with students is by far the most important thing. That's the main difference between in class and online learning - distance and availability of the instructor. Using techniques provided in the module we can lower impact of that distance.
Working CMS/LMS system is a baseline for the successful course. Frustration level is growing fast if the system is crashing. Also, on-line learning is usefull when you have international students in the class as they can access and go through the material several times if needed.
