In my current role online teaching is not a major component of the classes I am teaching. But I do understand the importance of setting course objectives, and having your courses organized in modules. 

Excellent reminders of being present in the classroom while also setting expectations of when available.  The course may be open 24/7 but I am not available 24/7

You do not need to reply to every discussion post- be the guide on the side.

Set a specific time- turn off my emails so I am not distracted.  Add a discussion board for questions that either I or their peers can answer.  In this discussion board include frequently asked questions. 

Depending on the profile of the student, you can determine the ways that you interact with them. For instance, when students are classified as being Quiet you may want to review their student profile for ways to raise their interest in participating. 

 I have learned that asynchronous discussions are best for small groups, specifically one student. Also, I've learned that in order to get the most out of asynchronous conversations or discussions, it's best to provide the content to the students ahead of time and to reward them for their participation.

I learned that active learning encourages participation, keeps the student engaged, and helps the student recall what was learned as opposed to being bombarded with information. I will apply the method of asking my students what they remember from the last 15 minutes of class. It will encourage critical thinking, recall and intentional listening during class.

This module taught me that active learning is a powerful way to develop critical thinking skills by encouraging students to analyze information, consider multiple perspectives, collaborate with peers, and solve real-world problems. Critical thinking goes beyond memorizing facts; it involves evaluating evidence, communicating effectively, reflecting on ideas, and forming well-supported conclusions. The module also highlighted the value of collaborative learning, group discussions, problem-based learning, and self-reflection in helping students construct their own knowledge and become more engaged learners.

I plan to apply these concepts by incorporating more case studies, group activities, discussions, and problem-based learning exercises into my courses. I… >>>

This module taught me that active learning often requires modifying traditional classroom activities to create a more student-centered learning environment. I learned that instructors should move from being the "sage on the stage" to serving as facilitators who provide guidance, structure, and support while encouraging students to take greater responsibility for their learning. The module also highlighted the importance of engagement strategies, meaningful collaboration, technology integration, timely feedback, and clear expectations to help students succeed. 

Moving forward, I plan to incorporate more active learning strategies into my courses by using discussions, case studies, group projects, reflective writing, and technology-based activities… >>>
