In reviewing the Online Teaching Techniques I found that comprehensive review course structure, course foundation, course content, and course delivery are all main techniques needed in online teaching.
Its incredible how body language can be expressed over emotions and words. It's a powerful way to deliver.
Online instructor has various ways of delivering instruction & how to effectively relay the information to the students.
It is very important to know the tools used in online courses, to make students fell safe and accompanied, you have to make the courses interactive to maintain attention and you always have to have clear objetives and goals of what you want to achieve at the end of the course
What I took away from this section on Course Delivery is that I need to become comfortable with the methods and expectations of my institution and students before I can/should make any revisions.
I think this is a great tool with basic explanation and understanding of diffrent types of communications and how they are perceived. In the end, is best to be prepared and know how to best communicate something, and how, to better emit a message.
I found really interesting the basic elements of structure and support for online courses.
Students need clear guidance about courses and the presentations need to fit the material to maximize learning.
As an instructor, I need to be familiar with the course management system and I need to know how to make announcements, see the class roster, review quizzes, and respond to students within the course.
I learned from this module:
That I will:
Post more announcements about our classroom
Be more diligent to remove students who is not responding in my class.
Create more energizers throughout the day to keep students involved and create more class assignments to keep the students engaged
Instructional awareness is very necessary to the success of the program. we should be very familiar with the course and its contents.
It is interesting to see different communication styles
To me, structure and a clearly communicated schedule remain of the utmost importance when e-learning. I will continue to keep active communication with my students in their BAND groups that also keeps the schedule of all due dates that is repeated from their syllabus given on day one. Reminders of what work is expected each week is also important to keep all virtual learning on track and on the same page so that all students feel prepared with materials and for discussions s a group.
Online learning takesa knowledge base that includes technical issues, a place where I do not feel confident. However, the technical support does exist, so getting over my fears will be part of my successful online teaching plan.
This module has reinforced the need to familiarize myself with all the course delivery techniques and strategies so that I can better support the students.
An online instructor must know all the ins and outs of an online course, both in content knowledge and technical issue, in order to be effective.
As an instructor, it is important to not only know the material that is being covered, but also understand how to teach it in an online environment so students are understand the material and what is expected of them. There are several ways to engage students with online platforms to make sure they understand and retain that information being presented.
It is important to know the ins and outs of your institution's CMS so that you can better be prepared to assist students in their learning. Prevents unnecessary hiccups in the learning process and helps you, as the instructor, appear to have things under control. Boosts confidence on both sides.
Communication is important in establishing a successful outcome. The course gives an effective path to reaching a that outcome.
there are many different parts for online learning available and resources. It is good to familiarize yourself before the course starts
