Asynchronous engage content at different time and locations. Synchronous class in in session at same time with instructor and other leaners and the smaller the discussion size the better communication is not misdirected.
Feedback should foster participation, confidence, and motivation from the students.
Creating objectives and goal, having students participate in discussion are great ways to keep attention and participation in the classroom
Placing asynchronous discussion topics on boards help keep all students involved. I learned this is a better route to go to encourage participation by all students. It's important to identify learning styles early to ensure student's success. Feedback is very important to continue to build confidence within your students.
Feedback and appropriate use of synchronous and asynchronous discussion can help students both engage with peers while reinforcing learning objectives.
Students have different styles the top 3 include
- Avoidant- these are students not interested in the content being taught
- Competitive- students that try to outperform other students
- Dependent- students that only complete the required activities or work.
I have learned some of the methods for keeping students engaged in the online setting.
The importance of discussions in asynchrounous learning.
Feedback is essential and should be given in an encouraging manner not demeaning. Lack of facial expressions and immediate feedback can make the communication harder or misread, therefore it is better to give it as soon as possible and clear and concise without being misconstrued.
It is important to remember the sensitivity of the students on the other end of all communications and course wide comments.
In this segment, I identified ideas for developing effective engagement in synchronous and asynchronous environments. Asynchronous discussions are ideal for complex and critical learning, allowing for greater depth of analysis even if they require more time. On the other hand, synchronous discussions demand shorter intervals and facilitate socialization among participants.
How to engage with students and keep discussions active through various means
Student Learning styles are different for each student and the level of degree of the styles also varies. Online learning is combination of Synchronous and Asynchronous learning and using both is the hybrid approached to modern learning. CMS Online Learning focuses on fostering participation in both Synchronous and Asynchronous learning, knowing how to drive interaction through the media content will determine the level of learning, the higher the interaction the more learning.
Determining each student's preferred method of learning can change how they interact and take part of forums. Students are more likely to feel more comfortable to express themselves and ask questions when small groups are formed.
Aprendì que como instructor debo saber que palabras utilizar para dar retroalimentaciones a los alumnos, siendo que debo cuidar su dignidad y no desmotivarlos. Tambièn, debo saber como motivarlos a que puedan participar en los foros, como tambièn en las actividades sincrònicas y asincrònicas.
Learning the difference between synchronous an asynchronous session and strategies. Identification of the different learning styles and the strategies to encourage participation during the discussions. We also learned the guidelines to evaluate discussions.
I have to start providing feedback in a timely matter, and keep encouraging the learners to continue to pursue the objectives of the course because I do find that sometimes they tend to become uninterested or dont care to finish what they started
Learning differences between synchronous and asynchronous, and the participation of students.
En este módulo, he aprendido diversas estrategias para fomentar la participación activa de los estudiantes en un entorno de aprendizaje en línea. Comprendí la importancia de adaptar las discusiones, tanto asincrónicas como sincrónicas, para facilitar el intercambio de ideas y mantener el enfoque en los temas clave. También aprendí que la retroalimentación es fundamental para mantener motivados a los estudiantes y debe ser constructiva y oportuna, especialmente en la educación en línea, donde la comunicación no verbal es limitada.
Voy a aplicar este conocimiento asegurándome de crear un ambiente de aprendizaje inclusivo y estructurado, donde cada estudiante sienta mi presencia y apoyo. Implementaré normas de etiqueta en las discusiones y usaré recordatorios para mantener la participación constante. Además, proporcionaré retroalimentación individualizada y alentadora para que los estudiantes se sientan comprometidos y valorados en su proceso de aprendizaje
Es muy interesante la comparación entre reuniones sincrónicas y asincrónicas y lo importante que es la participación de los estudiantes para ellos, ambas fueron herramientas de aprendizaje útiles.
