With the implementation of online platforms, guest speakers can be a short video clip, a physical attendee, or the use of social media. Knowing your learner and having them use social media to gain interest in a topic has been a learning curve but also a way to connect with my students. Using online gaming to have students answer "live" questions I have found is a way for them to be silly & creative with their gamer tag, participate in the review of the material, & having them study without realizing it is the best art for me.
I like the idea of using guest speakers and multi media to keep the course engaging.
Recognition of the importance of increasing knowledge and enhace application of the knowledg thru the correct learning activities. The diferent methodology of questioning is valuable in order to combine each and creat a blend.
Emphasisi on organization in the student engagement process.
Utilizing a guest lecturer is a great way to break up the monotony of a lecture based course and allows the students an opportunity to learn from a professional in the field how what they are learning is applicable to a real-world job.
It was interesting to see that even without a F2F classroom, a distance learning platform can provide the student with the same experience. All with the added bonus of completing the course from home.
A hybrid synchronous and asynchronous online schedule allows for a more balanced learning where students can "socialize" with their peers, and also gives them the freedom to learn on their own, at their own time/convenience.
This lesson gave me a clear definition of synchrnous and asynchronous chats.
I've learned that online courses should be set up in a manner which is easiest for students to navigate. If online courses are set up properly, students will not have to filter through information that is not useful to them.
So funny that when you teach live classes, you ask questions for student interaction and learning...I didn't realize there were so many specific kinds of questions that actually provide different ways of learning. I will do a better job in choosing my questions to increase student learning.
synchronous learning engages all student at the same time thefore more comunication at gthe ssame teme helps create more questions and helps students engage with thier clclassmates
content sequence is important to keep students on the correct course sequence
You can use a hybryd approch combonation of online and in class instruction
all participants can interact
Se hace hincapié en la importancia de un profesor organizado, que pueda crear materiales y realizar diversas actividades.
The most interesting part was the possibilites when it comes to having a guest speaker! Also the live conversations could help them learn how to work in groups.
The online learning techniques are mostly a translation of the face-to-face classroom interaction. It is refreshing to acknowlege the power of online learning and the beneficial impact on the student.
On line courses eboration needs sinchronic and asynchronic process. In adittion videos, guest speakers and qualitiative information in web links links.
Why have any classroom based instruction?
This module provided ideas for selecting supportive learning activities to increase knowledge, application, and learner-relevancy. It clarified that most interactions typical of an on ground class can be implemented online. I recently took an on-line course, myself. It included almost all of the components mentioned, readings available through hyperlinks, video content, and asynchronous discussion methods. A guest lecture would have added more interest to the course, however. I also think I would prefer the hybrid model of online teaching so I could complete modules at my own pace, but have more formal interactions with peers to discuss the topics for greater understanding.
