Knowledge and comfort with using CMS is key for instructors. Utilizing all features to enhance active learning and adapting content as needed to keep all engaged.
Clear concise information that is eaasily located is crucial to the student.
Clear instructions on how to get help when needed is also crucial as well as having someone available and making it known when they are available.
It is important to learn how your management system works and plan how our course will be presented in that system before you begin building your course. You should include, what type of assessments will you include, how will you and your students communicate, how will students communicate with each other.
I will ask questions to meet the nees of my students
I think it's a useful reminder to go back to the basics and to make sure that students know how to use the online platform.
Each instructor uses a different approach to reach a common goal. must be aware of all components of LMS.
I am going to have to learn more about the CMS to be succesful at online teaching. I have been teaching for many years but am just diving into online instruction
i have learned how to access the online teaching stragies and give my students what is needed to be success online.
This course so fas has provided me with a detail expectation of wat an online course would look like and what to expect from it as well as what to do.
Structure is key! I have taught online previously and am so glad now that I have that experience. What I have found, in operating from a CMS, is that keeping things consistent and structured is key in helping the students complete their assignments. I set up my course weekly with dates and due day, date, and time in the description of the assingment, so they know exactly what is expected as far as completion goes. You have to remove all ambiguity. They must know exactly what you expect. Spell it out very clearly and they will respond well. Feedback is also extremely important. A simple "You're doing a great job" message means a lot to a student when they can't hear you say it. Personally, I make it a point to grade assignments quickly in order for the student to always know their course status. I wish you all success in the online platform. It is challenging because it requires engagement! engagement! engagement!, but it gets easier as you go. Good luck and stay safe!
Know in deep the characteristics of a Quality online course:
- Structural integrity.
- Navigational simplicity.
- Intellectual interaction.
- Active learner-centered learning.
And apply them properly and in a simple manner in order to have a better involvement and interest from the students.
Structuring the content and flow of the curriculum, engaging students and monitoring is a very important key for the student success. Having a well thought out flow of curriculum, even though some teach differently, we know the content we are teaching but we need to monitor our students progress, set definite time lines and goals for students and make sure all the information is clear and concise at the beginning of the class.
Student success can be creatived with e-learning when the course is set-up easy and all of the links work that are provided. A course managment system can be frustrating for the student if the content and modules are unorganized. Once the information and or material is set-up, the designs should be easy to follow.
As a leader, we need to have a full understanding of the online programming used. So that we are using it correctly and giving correct communication with those learning.
It is so important to become familiar with the platform being used. It will make the presentation much smoother and less technology problems.
I need to find ways to help those who might not struggle as much with the content but the technological means in which they are delivered. It's my job as an instructor to be able to cater to both the explination of the content, and its delivery.
One must adapt to each student as in the class room. Sometimes one must "stay aftr class" to help them get up to speed.
It is important to be prepard, have working computer and hardware and organized with the different modules. I also like having an orientation to make sure that everyone is on the same page.
My goal this week is to master the LMS system chosen by my school
I greatly appreciated how the information was broken down. It helps to understand that information presented to students in a on-line program has to be in smaller bits than in the traditional classroom setting while at the samw time reaining intellectually challenging.
