Online instructors should employ learning and technical support. Each instructor has his/her own teaching methods but they all work toward a common goal.
I have learned it is important to know and be familiar with the online platform you will be teaching on, and having as much technical efficency as possible. Also learned how much organization and communication is needed for an online class compared to an in person class.
With CMS, be aware that not all learners may be as technologically savvy compared to their peers. It is important to encompass technological learning as well as educational learning.
I found it interesting that there is so much more that goes into online learning than one would think. I need to be able to manage the curriculum and other responsibilities as well as provide a safe online learning environment.
Hello Everyone,
The information is understood and I plan on applying this information in my class.
I learned specific details that go into teaching a course online. The institution provided protocol that must be followed to give the e-learner a positive learning experience. I plan to go over all the necessary requirements needed to make the student successful.
I appreciate the course checklist provided.
How important our CMS and technology can be in our courses. We will be able to have so many tools available to us, it is important to be familiar and confident with all of them to be able to provide the best learning environment possible.
It was good to be reminded that students may need technical support during the course in order to feel success.
I have been teaching online for a while now but I like this brush up and review of the instructors responsibilities. Its a matter of good training as well as experience.
I will build a relationship take the time to be professional and personable with your customers. Get to know them and take note of what they're telling you. Practice good listen skills.
I learned that taking this course you would have to able to navigate system and is another way to be consistent with the students.
I have learned how important it is for student's to know that someone is there to provide both academic and technical support. It gives them a sense of safety. Also, I have learned how important it is to know the ins and outs of the CMS I am using, and how to communicate with my students successfully.
As an online instructor, being familiar with the online learning structure is a key to success. In this way, I can know how to access and mange the essential parts of online learning, such as grades, discussion, and assignments. In addition, communication is different with online learning than in-person, so I will need to learn how to use the different methods of communication.
A structure and order is part of a successful planning, in online education, everything must be very clear, that nothing is left to interpretation. Monitoring and accompaniment guarantees peace of mind in the student's learning, therefore providing feedback in a timely manner guarantees success in the learning process and the student's confidence in the environment in which it is obtained.
I have learned that in an e-learning environment it is of extreme importance to be able to provide the students with as much support as they may need so that they may feel a sense of comfort and security while taking the course. As an instructor I will make sure to familiarise myself with the course guidelines so that I may be able to provide my students as much support as they may need in a timely manner. At the same time, I have learned that familiarising myself with the CMS system is also key to providing my students any additional technical support they may need.
Considero que el curso es muy interesante, entender la naturaleza del aula desde la virtualidad es ir a un mundo nuevo para los docentes.
Ser instructor online requiere por parte del docente nuevas posibilidades de aprendizaje. Estos entornos virtuales son una invitación no solo a tener una preparación acádemica, si no tambien el desarrollo de competencias que te permitan gestionar el aula virtual para que la experiencia del alumno sea satisfactoria.
Muchas cosas que seguir aprendiendo, y estoy segura que pondre en práctica todo lo hasta aqui aprendido.
Students will learn more if teachers are familiarized with the online platform and the method of teaching suggested. There are several ways to interact with students and it may help to make this clear from the beginning.
The most important novelty, for me, is that as an instructor in a CMS, it means being in charge not only of the content, but also of the digital competences of the students to use the same CMS, a skill that we cannot assume. In some institutions this is resolved with another role, that of the technical advisor. I will take this novelty into account, and always consult the institutional managers about the distribution of roles and assigned tasks.
I have learned the elements that I should consider for online teaching and how to implement it with the materials I have to date. The course taught me to restructure some elements that needed to be strengthened.
