Online Teaching Techniques --> Course Delivery
Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
Online instructors just like on-site instructors need to vary their delivery method. Online content includes asynchronous and synchronous elements like group discussions. Online instructors need to include same measurement elements as on-site instructors such as grading format, quizzes and exams, a syllabus, concise structure of the course, objectives and goals. Another element includes technical support. Frustrations with online students include having technical difficulties such as issues with software, hyperlinks that glitched or have become irrelevant or even network connectivity.
Frustrations can still arise in an online class through various forms and ways.

Students need solid support when taking courses online. The instructor should be readily available to support learning needs.
Puedo asumir que los comentarios aquí deben aparecer en inglés, pero no está explícito. Así que, tomando en cuenta lo aprendido en el módulo, asumiré que puedo hacerlo en español.
Extremadamente interesante el módulo, pues fortalece lo que intuitivamente conocía únicamente por experiencia. La presentación estructurada, y las preguntas breves de evaluación, cumplieron su finalidad de aprendizaje motivante. Como aspecto reflexivo, el rol de docencia tomará un tiempo extra-curricular necesario.
I assume that comments here should be in English, but that isn't explicitly stated. So, based on what I've learned in the module, I'll assume I can write them in Spanish.
The module was extremely interesting, as it reinforced what I intuitively knew solely from experience. The structured presentation and the brief assessment questions served their purpose of making learning engaging. As a point for reflection, the teaching role will require additional time outside of the curriculum.
From this module I learned that students need online support from the teacher as well as online support in technology in order to be successful in an online course without undue frustration.
Even with the knowledge of the content, I have to familiarize myself with content areas that I am not familiar with.
I’ve learned the basic components of a online course management system and how knowing, learning and understanding this will be be effective in how my students accomplish the learning objectives
It will be imperative to mine and my students' success to make sure I am fully aware and trained on how to use Canvas.
Hello to all, In this module I learned about the importance of online presence and that instructors need to take deliberate steps towards leading discussions, giving constructive feedback, and providing personalized notes early in the course. I also learned about the importance of having a biography ready and available on the first day of class to establish authority as the instructor.

I learned that the CMS and CMS structure is important not only for the instructor but for optimal instruction to students. Also, I learned the importance of having a deeper understanding of how the CMS tool works and what's expected of the instructor to manage the discussions, the chat, the calendar, the gradebook, etc. So that we can support students on a day-to-day basis.
To always be aware of not just your leaning needs but to include your students, support them and set the students up for success. I also believe to keep yourself updated on new technology so as to be knowledgable in e-learning so you can be a reource.
I learned that effective online teaching requires more than simply posting course materials. Instructors need to understand the course structure, delivery platform, assessment requirements, and available support systems while also maintaining a strong presence and providing timely feedback to students.
This module helped me understand that delivering a quality online course involves more than uploading materials. It requires clear learning objectives, well-organized and accessible content, meaningful interaction, and assessments that support student learning. I also learned how the main components of a Course Management System—such as content modules, discussion forums, assignments, quizzes, and gradebooks—help organize the course and monitor students’ progress.
As an online instructor, my role is to guide learning, facilitate participation, provide timely feedback, and support students in achieving the course objectives. I intend to apply what I have learned by organizing my courses into clear modules, using varied resources and practical activities, and encouraging peer collaboration. I will also use discussion forums and regular progress checks to identify difficulties early and provide appropriate support.
CMS is essential for online teaching because it helps students familiarize themselves with the content.
La importancia de familiarizarse con todos los contenidos, procesos y estrategias para un curso en línea.
I haven't taught an exclusively online course yet, but have taught plenty of synchronous remote classes, so some expectations of both instructor and students are the same. Being prepared, ready to help solve any student orientation/technology issues, and keeping things well organized and engaging are central to a good experience.
As healthcare continues to change, students need to become comfortable using technology as part of their education and future careers. Online and hybrid courses give students the opportunity to develop independence, improve their communication skills, and become more responsible for their own learning. These formats can also help students learn how to manage their time, solve problems on their own, and communicate professionally in a digital environment.
