All good information. Most of this was review from grad school for me (Adult/higher Ed). Great course.
The importance of non verbal cues in communicating effectively.
I thought it was important to note that the same tools will be applied differently per the instructor's teaching style. I've found in my previous experience with teaching online courses that it has been difficult to really build out a course as I would envision it when having to work in the confines of a standardized Canvas shell, but I liked how this highlighted the different mediums of support that instructors could take into account and how it can become more individualized.
I learned the importance of delivery techniques and strategies in an e-learning structure
In this module the most important thing to know is the Course Management System. Also, the other important thing is timely communication with the students. As a instructor, I should set the course in the proper time and know all the due dates.
Students are more successful when they know they have good communication and support throughout their online course experiences. instructors need to understand how to navigate the CMS well and learn the many areas in which they can interact (communicate and support) with their students individually as well as within the class.
Every instructor has their own way of delivery however, we are delivering instruction toward the same goal. Familiarizing with the infrastructure is key to understanding how the online platform impacts students and teachers.
In order for an online educational platform to work, there must be varying levels of support. There will be students from different backgrounds and abilities. The more support that is provided, the better the student will do.
Online learners and instruction has different strengths and weaknesses when compared to in person instruction. It is of utmost importance that instructors know how to utilize all aspects of a virtual classroom and keep on top of updating the calendar, responding to students, posting discussion questions etc.
Understanding the course delivery format is essential for creating and engaging in an effective educational experience. It dictates how the course content is presented and how students will interact with the material and one another.
To minimize the frustrations that students can feel in an online setting, it's important for me as the instructor to be very familiar with the CMS and be able to provide that assistance to the students when needed.
Learned some various ways to engage the students and get them involved. This will all help the students get the information they need to understand the course and be ready for exams!
Delivering the online material in a structured manor is key for understanding and achievement.
In an e-learning environment, each instructor may have different strategies to meet one common goal.
Quality online courses rely on strong structure, easy navigation, and active interaction. I plan to ensure my courses are well-organized and that I am proficient with the CMS to effectively support my students.
Comment on Christena Meier's post: Comment on Patricia Weaver's post: I very much agree. I am not the most tech savvy. I will do my best to give out the most useful information to the students.
Staying current an relevant is key. Technology and online platforms are flawed. Stay prepared, ready and calm.
I learned that course support infrastructure includes instructional supports and technical support.
To improve course implementation and absorbtion into the learning culture.
will learn the CMS ...
I understand, it takes practice to master it. Extremely important to our students, as it is a main tool to check on their progress, ( easier to see where to complement .. and what subject to help with)
