Hwo to foster participation in different ways for all and individually is important. Keeping the student engaged/interacting and providing feedback is how to foster engagement.
The benefit of asynchromouse discussions is that it allows students time to compose their thoughts. Students can go much deeper in their thinking and be much more thorough in these types of discussions.
Asynchronous learning is the heart of online learning. It is best to use synchronous learning for very small groups or just one-to-one, and let participants know what they need to bring to the session to prepare.
i can see how Placing asynchronous discussion topics on boards help keep all students involved. Students can learn from each other in this sitting, I have found that everyone has a different learning approach.
Encourage the learners is as important online as in class.
I learned what the work asynchronous means!
It is important in an online format to keep active particpation by providing discussions. It is also important to provide feedback as students are not able to see the facial cues traditionally used in a classroom setting. I will use feedback to provide encouragement and constructive support for students to stay on task with the work.
Both synchronous and asynchronous learning involves class preparation, developing a social rapore with students and providing numerous feedback on a timely basis.
I learned some techniques for hosting online discussions and how to get better interaction on forum and discussion posts.
I am trying to figure out if a zoom or Google Meet would be considered synchronous discussion.
learned the difference and when to use synchronos and asynchronus
The Asyncronous discussion allows a thing to not to happena the same time. A synschonous occurs with one student at one time or in a small group. Groups over 40 are never recommended for the simple fact that all students perfer rewarded and its difficult if groups are to large.
Different types and differences in learning stratagies.Any and all tools are helpful.
Th.is section on engaging learners has a lot to offer and a lot to consider, depending on what type of environment you teach in, or if you teach in both environments (asynchronous and synchronous). The oveall goal, regardless of the type of environment however is to do the right thing, to encourage student / user participation, growth and success. I do have to question some of the guidelines or suggestions offered in this chapter, like having only five or six students in an synchronous discussion - that is simply not reality in today's educational world. Right now, during the Covid-19 Virus situation, teachers in the New York, New Jersey area (and other parts of the country) are conducting online "chat" classes with 30 or more students on a daily basis.
I like how well the course defined asynchronized and synchronized communication. Using asynchronized method can help all students participate. And remembering that in the online environment, we tend to lose things as humor. Remember this will be helpful for me. I also liked sharing netiquette for discussions.
All the techniques to encourage participaton and that they are targeted to delvery methods. I'm definalty incorporated these stratageis into my online course.
I need to remember that just like in a traditional classroom, students may be reluctant to answer or participate especially in a large class. As the teacher prompts are necessary to help those students
Asynchronous discussion is more important in online learning. Instructors who are engaged and contributing can encourage learners to do the same for a better experience.
Learning about the different forms of discussion was informative. In addition, the amount of prep work you need to do for on-line teaching is more than I expected. You are covering yourself and trying to engage the students.
Running an effective discussion board is not only reliant on the effectiveness of the instructor's questions, but also on the reliability and flexibility of the Learning Management System. Online instruction requires an effective LMS.
