I find it interesting that simplicity is best, but many students are having to use multiple platforms to complete their coursework. Things shut down very quickly and I know the schools didn't have time to put everything in one place, but I hope that in the future that might be an option.
To familiarize myself with course content.
Good Explanation on introducton to online learning.
The course structure is extremely important. Consistent naming conventions help learners recognize patterns to where to go and what to do next. Also, students need both learning support and technical support. Ideally, there will be technical staff to handle more advanced support queries. It is vital to understsand the CMS you will be uisng, as it will be the main communication and feedback tool to support student learning. Successful online courses are well tought out long before students enter them.
new to this a lot to take in
I have learned that a well organized CMS can help motivate students to stay with working in an online environment.
I learned that there are many areas that I need to consider. Office hours, assignments extensions, grade deadlines, students response turnabout, etc.
That you need to show support to the learners and they learn best when they have more than one way of seeing or hearing the material, Dont just have lecture create or have some interaction through group activities or modules to support the materials
To be successful in teaching online, I must evaluate how the student can gain access to the program and any problems that they may have with a CMS. Older students may have more problems with an online training as opposed to a younger student.
I've learned much from this e-learning and have also realized that there is no one way of teaching. Due to the sudden adjustment to an online format, I've learned that I've had to adjust to teaching and engaging students in many ways outside of the normal face to face teaching.
very important to stay current as most of the younger students understand technology
I teach a subject online now that should have a lot of lab associated with it. it will not be online forever and by looking at the CMS i'm able to tell my students I can make up some of their lab time in other classwes that don't evolve a lot of lab if they will stay envolved and weork with me to master the theory part of thois subject
I have learned from this module that detail is important with online learning. The teacher must be familiar with the software, students learning, course content and delivery method. Everything must be considered to be an effective teacher when doing online learning; thus, a lot must go into pre-planning. Daily observation and feedback is vital.
I like the visual on how to build your course and breakdown content.
There are multiple delivery techniques and strategies, understanding these and the course content will help to communicate effectively with students.
Teaching in an online or in an E-Leaning enviroment has many different parts to understand and to deliver to the students. I learned that we must understand the set up and sturcture of the course given. I must understand how the delivery system works and how to explain that to my students. I learned that support is very important to students and their success in the online course. They need both Course support and technical support as well. I also need to have a great understanding of the course subject and how to navigate the CMS to teach the course.
Instructors should familiaries themselves with the course delivery techniques and strategies. And instructors will probably use different teaching methods.
Simple delivery of content in a linear format is not enough. Instructors need to utilize a number of engaging activites throughout each module to keep the learner focused on the end goal, while actively gaining necessary knowledge during each activity.
I found it interesting to learn about all the tools the instructor has.
I want to be able to learn as much as I can to assist my students. I think this course is going to help me tremendously.
