Generational Roles

Charlene, We can't all everyone in every generation is alike, but we all have certain characteristics that make us who we are. The more we know about our students, the better. We can then provide information and communicate in a better fashion. Thanks!

Pattern of Communication

Charlene, Right on! When the students know what is expected of them and how to achieve the learning outcomes, they are more likely to be successful. This is accomplished through effective communication. Providing examples for students is beneficial. Thanks!

Variations of Evaluations

Esther, You are right. Feedback from students, peers, administrator, etc. all provide valuable information. They also provide a different perspective on the content/subject, etc. Nice job.

Technology Communication Tools

Charlene, It's true you must meet the needs of the students, but you must also "meet the needs" of the content and meet your needs. It's a balancing act. Knowing which tool to use, assessing it for proper use and ease of use, as you noted, are also important. Thanks!

Technology Communication Tools

Jennifer & Diana, Thanks for continuing the conversation. I agree with you as well. Sometimes, however, no matter how big the group, you may need to call a few students especially if they are having difficulties. Thanks again.

Authoring Online Course

Esther, These three things go hand in hand. You have to understand your students and help them achieve the learning outcomes through appropriate content and activities. Nice job.

Authoring Online Course

Alejandro, Yes, I always do some type of diagnostic assessment the first week of class so that I understand what the students know and where they are coming from. This helps with choosing the appropriate material, planning the course more effectively and delivering the content. Keeping the students engaged and building on their knowledge is essential. Thank you for your input.

You are right that improving the course is a continual process. Getting feedback form the students in a formative and summative fashion is important. Thanks again for your input.
