I've learned that two teachers can be given the same material to teach, but they will inevitably both have two different teaching styles. As long as the materials are presented to the students in a logical, chronological and user friendly format - there shouldn't be any issues as long as the students are understanding the information.
Online teaching etiquette is important to student outcomes
Engaging with students when learning support is very important in an online setting.
will implement what i learned
This module has helped me understand effective strategies for engaging students in a learning environment, including the use of interactive tools and clear communication. I plan to apply these insights by designing more structured student centered- lessons that encourage participation and foster a supportive virtual learning community.
I learned some additional techniques to use in my online classes.
Course delivery is especially important when teaching online content. Students must be able to access the content with ease, and when they have issues they should be able to access technical support immediately in order to not become frustrated.
One have to become familiar with the learning platform and be ready to adjust teaching style in order to stay most relevant.
These sections highlight the importance of understanding the learning system to more holistically support students in their learning goals (beyond simple instruction).
i intend to implement these teaching strategies/ techniques into my practice
Quick response, prompt feedback, and timely communication will provide professional teaching support to students.
Clear and effective communication with online from the start is the key to success.
Wrapped up the first module of the EL102. We explored key elements of quality online learning—like course structure, navigation, student support, and interaction strategies. Great insights to rethink how we teach and connect in virtual environments.
I have learned that if I am not proficient and knowledgeable during the online courses, then my students will feel the same.
It is of utmost importance to be constantly trained in order to provide a timely and better response to our students.
I'm so glad that there is a course management system that enables students take an orientation of the courses that they will be taking now and in the future. The benefits of both students/instructors are interchangeably homogenous. Not only can an instructor monitor a learners progress for example but also a student can manage his own progress. Another example is the turnaround time to provide feedback to a student learner is both beneficial bc in a sense as an instructor if they're not getting the content or subject taught you can intervene in the process and modify attributes that make the learning experience more interactive and thereby receiving a higher rate of success in the course.
I will be more aware of the discussion questions that my students respond to and make sure that I also participate in the class discussions. I do leave comments on my students' discussions but don't usually participate. I also will make sure I am familiar with the technical aspects of the modules so I can either answer questions my students have or direct them to someone who can give assistance.
Preparing adequately for a course before any type of communication with students and delivery of expectations.
An instructor should thoroughly understand the course content, including videos, terminology, quizzes, and any potential technical issues students might encounter. They must be adaptable and effective in communicating the material, while also providing the necessary support to help students succeed in the course.
An instructor should become very familiar with the content, videos, terms, and quizzes for the online course as well as any technical aspects that may arise as a question from a student The instructor should be very versatile and flexible in teaching the course contents with effective communication, as well as being able to assist a student to pass the course.
