I learned that one should keep their record keeping simple and organized. It can be done as assignment names or indiviual folders. Give guidelines on how you want emails labeled. Let students know that someone else may respond. Before posting a question, check FAQ first. Procrastination may present itself for some students who know that they don't have to show for class at a given time, but still have course work to do. E-mailing is the best option of communicating with students but a private chat could also do. Keep record of chat if this is form is used.
I have learned how to avoid the loss of student interaction and or disciplinary issues within and elearning environment
I did not really think we could have the same type of behavior from a real class setting onto an online class setting. I learned after reading how to look for this type of online behavior I had better have the code of conduct policy easily available.
Student behavior should always be considered when monitoring and advising.
Students hear what they want to hear. ALso what they want think on what you say. Email is always best course
In any setting there's one thing for sure students will be students, s they will do well with others they will not. My goal is to find a balanced method of success regardless of their behaviors or choices for favorable outcomes.
This was an inteesting module in helping how to organize information from each student as well as how to work with different types of student learners.
This module was really helpful to understand the dinamic of an e-learning environment, between the inscructor and students. Also, to identify the types of behavior that the instructor will encounter.
I learned some strategies for dealing with disruptive students and ways to support students who may be intimidated by the content or format of the courses I will teach.
Reply to Chris Huber's post:I agree. Encouraging students is the key to making them feel like a valuable part of the learning environment.
We can not forget the importance of students who struggle with technology. This is a silent type of attrition. It will frustrate the student to the point of not wanting to be involved in the learning. Educators should check-in with these students and send tips so that they don't feel so overwhelmed.
There are many different challenges that you may face as an online instructor, but there are also many ways to address them. It is important that the students are aware of the Code of Conduct and that they feel like you are there to help them succeed.
There are different kind of learners. Not all people want to learn online or it may be more difficult for them to learn on line. Also a huge component is making sure that the communication is open to all students and to make sure that none feel alienated.
By doing daily status checks with my students to find out what they needs are with the material, the course, and the content of the class.
I learned that communication with students and resolving student conflicts very important and keeping records
I was reminded of how there are different learner characteristics & behaviors which can positively (or otherwise) impact the online learning experience for the group. I learned some way in which I can better identify this and manage the online learning experience in an effort to keep students appropriately focused, engaged, and learning the course content.
I now understand the importance of keeping documentation of all communication I have with my students. I also understand how easy it will be to set up a method of filing the different documents I receive from students.
I found the different types of learners to be the most interesting. This seems especially important to keep in mind in the remote learning environment. I will use what I learned to recognize the different types of learners and how to help them be successful.
Module 4. In this module, I learned effective strategies for:
- Keeping course records.
- Communicating with students.
- Counseling students.
- Dealing with undesirable behavior.
- Resolving student conflicts.
- Minimizing student attrition.
From time to time I have students withdraw from my online classes due to competing responsibilities. I find the following ideas to be helpful in minimizing this challenge.
- Remind students of the level of commitment necessary to complete my course. This information may be specified in the course syllabus and course overview, or I may consider sending a reminder in an e-mail.
- Provide students with guidelines for setting priorities.
- If the policies and procedures of my institution permit it, I may grant extensions for submitting course work.
