It will be fun to project our presence as teachers, and to know more about students. I think we must to create a community in each class.
Having online learning makes being interactive hard, however keeping an open forum and involving the students in learning helps
Instructors can show their expertise through distant learning by providing a biography of yourself. They can project authority through achievement, professional experience, and academic credentials.
Being able to be more interactive and interpersonal with the students that way the students feel involved on an online class.
It is important to engage with the students by sharing experience and knowledge. In this way, you can assert authority and help the student to learn in many ways.
Building rapport and trust with each student is vital for student success.
I learned how important it is to write a short bio of myself - so students get to know who I am. I also like the idea of them doing a short bio.
Introduce myself and and share my experiences
I learn how important it is establishing a rapport with my students and be mindful of their geographical location and time zones.
I was intrigued by the suggestion that adding hobbies can spark a conversation and relationship with students. I have always found that talking about myself would take away from the students' first place in the learning experience. However, I can see that it could be used to promote caring and camaraderie. There are many considerations in teaching as an art form.
Allowing students to know about you, personally and professionally can lay a basis of respect as well as remind them you are human. This gives more room for a better interactive relationship.
It is imperative to form a relationship with your students early in the course, so that the respect goes both ways.
I learned from this module engaging students and learning and teaching material to students and being supportive for online teaching.
With online learning courses, it can be difficult for instructors to make their students feel like there is a real person teaching them. I will be learning how to make them feel my presence in a number of ways, including engaging with them and projecting presence and authority through the tools of the online learning system. These include interacting with student in the discussion forums, having a lively presence in the live session meetings, and being available to answer any questions and concerns.
It is interesting to understand the similarity in the way we can project ourselves in a face-to-face course and an online course. One learning is to seek to empathize with the student from the presentation of the biographies to make them feel confident. A great strategy.
I have learned the importance of being present for my students and to build a good student-instructor relationship. Therefore, I will make sure to engage my students in discussions and conversations so that I may have the opportunity to learn more about them and where they are at in the course. I will also make sure to learn about my student's expectations with the course so that I may be able to guide them in a proper manner.
Realmente muy complacida con el curso, en la medida que avanzo certifico que proyectar la presencia del docente en el entorno virtual es muy distinta a la presencialidad.
Gestionar el aula debe incorporar una serie de elementos que van mucho más allá del conocimiento y credenciales, es tambien mirar al otro desde sus potencialidades y posibilidades de mejora. Es organizar el trabajo académico tomando en cuenta, diferencias horarias, por ejemplo.
La autoridad del docente en el entorno virtual implica desde mi humilde visión y por lo que he aprendido en este curso de que el alumno se sienta acompañado en su proceso de forma coherente, y empática.
Seguimos avanzando.
I learned that the CMS is a technological mediation that shares similar characteristics to traditional pedagogy where the teacher projects his presence and authority based on his academic and professional biography. This makes it possible to create and follow a learning community where students know each other and feel supported in the objectives of the Course.
A good way to connect with students and get to know each other is by posting a short biography and aske the to do the same. This strategy may also contribute to build or strengthen teachers´ authority
