The Course Management System need an underlying framework or structure that is easy to navigate. Student must be able to access help easily from the teacher and from technical support. While a CMS may provlde the basic structure, teachers/instructors may use the basic CMS in different ways.
Need' to be in other languages.
I think everything that has been presented sof far is very important with instructing online. If you are confident in yourself with instructing online and know what you are doing it shows to the students and in turn makes them more comfortable about learning through an online course. It gives them a sense of security that that they have someone that is there for them to teach them and answer their questions.
In order for me to be a successful on-line instructor I must set guideline, expe and structure for my students using our current CMS system. I feel that I need to make sure that I give multiple options for my students to reach me with questions or concerns. I did set-up each class with the remind App to communicate with them. Besides email, and updates through the CMS the remind app is a quick way to let a class or all of your classes know of important updates, due dates, etc.
Teachers need to know how to use the sysstem themselves.
I have learned that I have allot to learn but with training online instruction can be a positive leaning experience.
It is important for the instructor to be able to use the technology effectively. For example, how to use the discussion board, respond to students, and grade book. I would incorporate a orientation before the class begins so that expectations and procedures can be put in place before the class starts.
I found it interesting how many techniques and strategies are avaliable in this online course. I plan to practice the strategies needed to interact with my students.
As an instructor, it is important for me to understand the Course Management System that I am using. By doing so, I can provide students with the best learning experience possible.
There are interesting similarities between online learning and in-person instruction, namely the importance of getting to know students as individuals and establishing a rapport with them, and ensuring structural integrity, intellectual interaction, and active learner-centered instruction.
The instructor is key to the online course success. Teachers must know all aspects of the CMS and how to use in order to assist students. Students need an adequate oreintation to avoid frustration with the online course.
I will need to take a pd on the curriculum delivery platform that we will be using. The more expertise that I have on the platform mthe better I will be able to serve my students
I have learned that teaching online requires just as much (if not more) involvement with each individual student as opposed to the "group" as teaching in a face to face setting. The challenges can be met with proper planning and delivery. Orientation is crucial and directly related to the success of students as well as instructors.
I am thinking we as teachers are getting ready to perform elearning coming this fall 2020-21 school year.
Everyuthing here is an organized way to prepare for that event!
While this class is more for teaching college online classes and I am middle school teacher, the most important topic I learned was about tech support, and teaching the tech aspect of online learning. My district uses Google Classroom, but no one was required to use it until recently. Teacher training didnt take place prior, yet some teachers have learned to use on thier own. Some students have a working ability to use it, but with various levels, becuase it hasnt been consistant. Many parents have absolutly no experince with Google classroom, so that has been our biggest challenge. I would like to see my district to create learning opportunites for parents to get a bsic understanding of the website and the expected roles of the teacher, the student, and the parent, in this platform
Learned that being able to communicate with my students will not be as difficult as I had originally feared.
A lot of it has been review for me. But since I work with and help other instructors, it's good to get the feedback that we all deliver the content differently
The instructor must be able to navigate technical actions such as accessing rosters, etc. as well as be aware of strategies and methods of the course.
It is important to make sure students are aware how to use the online class platform. I will have to have a zoom meeting with students showing the workings of the platform.
Making sure that students are aware how to work the online system is important.
