Always room for improvement and will continue to apply these methods in my daily routine.
Through this module, I learned that effective online course delivery requires intentional design, clear communication, and consistent instructor presence. Managing the course through a structured CMS platform promotes organization.
From the module, I learnt how effective course delivery relies on clear communication, engagement strategies, and timely feedback. I'll craft a polished, professional response specifically tailored to your nursing education focus and type of reflection that fts your course style.
I have learned that overconfidence in face-to-face meetings can be detrimental to one’s ability to perform effectively as an Admissions Representative.
Educators use different strategies to help students learn valuable skills, and there isnt just one right approach.
There are many ways that an educator can share information with students, and while we may not all choose the same path, the important thing is that our students learn valuable skills and lessons.
I have a better understanding of instructional strategies, assessments. The importance to provide learning and technical support for.
I am reminded by this module that, as instructors, we should not limit ourselves when it comes to strategies and tactics that may produce the best learning outcomes. What works for one instructor or one scenario may not always be best or the only way to approach the situation. If we want to be the best instructors for our students, we must not only be well-versed in the course content, but all of the navigation, tech support options, and student-centered perspectives; only then are we prepared to assist all of our students toward their success.
Even though I am familiar with the course content, I can continue to research and introduce new ideas.
I have a better understanding of the value in knowing my course goals and objectives, instructional strategies, assessments etc. Knowing these details can keep things running in a consistent manner. Before I begin each course I teach, I want to make sure that I completely review it, understanding the course structure and expectations for delivery.
Important to provide learning support as well as technical support for students.
Good information. Review weekly expectations and progress with students to keep them motivated and engaged
It is important for the instructor to provide both learning and technical support.
One important note that I made was to have the tech support contact info. on hand. I realized that my tech support probably isn't the same as theirs, and theirs is likely a ticket submission process. Also, there may be different tech numbers for the school and the CMS. It's important for them to know whether they're reaching out to someone at their institution or not and how soon to expect an answer.
It is critical to meet students where they are with online classes in the technological space. Many students are new to online classes and have great anxiety in navigating the online environment.
Uniformity in the design of a classroom is critical in helping students navigate each course. That predicitability helps them to know where courseware is located, and makes it easier for them to find what they need in any course they take. When each instructor designs a course differently from others, students have to spend learning time relearning the design of the classroom.
Before teaching an online course with active students, it's important to review all course materials, assessments, and the overall layout of the course. The instructor is the expert not only with course content but also with any learning tools, layout, and resources. It's important for the instructor to be the first line of support for any tech issues or course content questions.
The importance of course structure and navigation!!
Course delivery is about more than knowing your content. Yes, this is important but there is more at play than what you are teaching. A nice aspect of Canvas is that I can view my course as a student. Looking over my course from student view will help me guide my students in using the different pages and resources available. I also need to have a good understanding of the assignments my students will be doing. This way I can anticipate questions and go over any assignments where I think my students may find the wording or the questions difficult.
