increase inclusiveness in all areas of academics and learning.
I need to prepare the students well in advance for the sessions (Synchronous or Asynchronous). Personalize the response by using each student's preferred way, identify the time of each session( max 30 min), try to keep the groups of Five or Six, so it is manageable.
It is not ideal to do synchronous method
It is important to engage students in the discussion posts to keep them active and interesting. The posed questions for the discussion post need to be clear, concise, and not overly wordy. It is important to make sure the students post mainly on replies to the individual student and not overly on threaded replies.
Try to avoid synchronous online discussions
I use humor a lot, but online learning is a flat dimension where the receiver cannot see facial expressions, hand gestures, etc. therefore misunderstanding may occur. Use humor but with caution.
It is important to remember that criticisms need to use the correct tone to ensure students don't experience damage in the learning process.
The concept of asynchronous and synchronous in an online course is important because you should give each student a chance to participate in the course, so they can have a good learning experience.
There are ways to engage students in synchronous and asynchronous activities. Assignments that require reflection and in-depth thought should be left for asynchronous discussions. The professor should monitor what students are posting and offer a summary at the end of the discussion post.
It is important to identify students' learning needs during the first week, so the course delivery can be adapted to suit the needs of various students, to produce the best outcomes.
What stood out to me in this section is the three different learning styles: avoidant, dependent, and competitive; which helps to understand the aspects of the students during the course
encouraging and engaging communication with students is important. I learned the difference between synchronous and asynchronous meeting and how it is beneficial to students
The complexities of managing a group of students in a synchronous discussion is daunting for sure, with the quick responses necessary and the moment to moment motivation and engagement you need to push. Managing the asynchronous discussion has more ability to think through your duties as an instructor.
Different learning styles create a need for focused engagement. Crafting discussion and feedback to each individual and their specific needs encourages participation.
It is important to show your teaching presence in the classroom by avidly participating in the asynchronous discussions and making sure that you understand the different types of students participation interactions in the classroom.
Feedback should reflect student motivation and confidence
I have learned a few different styles of teaching one is more for Or class setting where is the other one is for individual setting for discussion providing feedback in a timely basis that is also positive reinforcement getting feedback from the students making sure that they’re getting what they need and want out of the courses to apply. I’ve learned to have discussions with students and individuals throughout my classes.
It is important to keep students engaged in the online setting and providing ways for them to feel your presence, whether it is through active participation of the instructor in chat and discussion boards, providing video lectures as well as opportunities for synchronous and asyncronous learning.
Keeping the students engaged is imperative in an online class. This can be achieved through discussions and interactive activities. Understanding how to use synchronous and asynchronous meetings helps greatly.
I like how this section pointed out to ask feedback from the students, this is something i will applying in my classroom.
