I learned the difference from Asynchronous and Synchronous and ways to use them in class. Also learned how to keept the class discussion active and engaging

 

Having asynchronous discussions give equal opportunity for each student to participate. Instructor's timely feedback is important to encourage continued student engagement. 

 

In this section, I will take the opportunity to personalize my responses and control the pace of my text chat by maintaining a continual flow of information between you and the participants. 

I learned that it is important to always engage your student both synchronous or asynchronous.

 

As a teacher giving feedback online I need to always be encouraging to participate, building their confidence to feel free to respond, and motivating them to not be afraid. 

personally i would love to respond to my student with in 2 hours

In the E-learning enviornment it is important to engage the student through the discussion board and encourage the students to interact with each other.

 

Keeping conversations active will help keep students engaged in what they are learning and discussing.

 

Making clear and concise messages with an outline of how to post with specific information will lead to better communication. Thewre are different ways to engage students, seeking out different learning types to keep everyone involved. 

It is important to have both synchronuz and asynchronus conversation depending on the tasks at hand.  A different type of cummunication can be used for noth

 

The difference between synchronous and asynchronous discussion was helpful to learn. Rmoving that pressure of a full group can really benefit a struggling student.

Greater emphasis is placed on asynchronous interactions as it allows for learning that transcends time constraints, whereas aynchronous interactions should be applied to individual students.

 

I intend to engage my students through thought provoking conversation starters, feedback through comment boards and synchronous discussions with individual students.

Endeavor to maintain a lively discussion including all students.  Remind students tactfully that their participation makes the class more interesting and inclusive.

It's important to step in and keep the discussion going when it starts to fade, adding more in-depth questions and cheering on the class.

Be involved in the online discussion.  Email students who may not be participating with questions and encouragement

Asynchronous discussion allows students to participate and respond when they can, after work, on a lunch break. It's a great form of online discussion for a vast number of course topics and has the potential to be interactive because it gives the participants many opportunities to interact and respond without missing a window of time.

I concur that encouraging conversation involvement in both synchronous and asynchronous settings as well as course preparation is crucial to the success of learning abilities. Creating and posting summaries of discussion threads will also encourage students to engage in conversation with one another. We will do this by encouraging them to reply to groupings of linked messages rather than to single ones.

In addition, we'll be more succinct and direct in our explanations making them less wordy.

Synchronous conversations can be intimidating to different learner types and can limit the overall success of the discussion. The tone of conversation is very important to motivating efffective participation. Setting expectations is important when having synchronous discussions as well as leaving time for small talk to create a more comfortable environment. 

 

I learned about synchronous feedback and to request feedback from my students. Those are two things that I have not been doing and will try to use to engage my students and to adapt to their expectations.
