There are a number of reasons why students may leave an e-learning environment, so it is essential to communicate and offer support whenever possible.
From this module, I've learned that learners may exit e-learning programs prematurely due to feelings of alienation, heavy workloads, competing responsibilities, and technical issues. To reduce attrition, I plan to foster a sense of belonging by engaging learners, manage workloads effectively by breaking down content and providing support, address technical issues promptly with troubleshooting guidance, regularly check in with learners to offer support, and continuously gather feedback to improve the learning experience. These proactive measures aim to create a supportive environment that encourages learner retention.
Structure should be actively engaged in the course by posting regular announcements and participating in the discussions at least four times a week.
Creating a learning environment that is both structured and flexible is essential. This means having a clear course outline, predictable schedules, and also allowing for some adaptability based on student needs and feedback.
In this section, it spoke more about managing your classes and each student individually. Set out email reminders about assignments or office hours. Get to know your students that don't participate as much so you may give them options to participate or socialize.
I learned that the email is the most convenient system of Counseling Management in the e- learning environment, also it arrives to a highly ranked form of information from e-learners.
I found the discussion on behavioral traits inherent to lerners' personality profiles very interesting and plan to use this as I observe class discussion.
Students bring their lives and personal contexts to the classroom. This is an area of learning but also potential problems. All of these have to be managed by the instructor.
Online courses can be a challenge due to the different types of learners there are. Policy and procedures must be followed to a tee so as each student has the opportunity to learn.
The learners engagement is based on our approach to them. Being rigid is not necessarily the best approach to the students educational style or needs.
I learned how to better handle difficult students .
It may be challenging for students to keep up in online learning, but being involved and attentive is highly helpful. the importance of encouraging students to participate
it’s important that we have to communicate with our students and any distraction because we need to email them privately and give them separate assignments to keep them focus
I am a bit intimidate by teaching online format. I am hoping this course will help me overcome my fears.
I learned there are distinctly different types of students
E-Learners can vary just like synchronous learners. It is important to recognize when a student is disengaging for any number of reasons. It is also important to know the institutional policies for handling various kinds of situations.
It was interesting to learn about the different types of learners, and how their personality type determines how and when they participate. I feel I can incorporate this to my teaching by creating learning outcomes for different types of learners to increase interest, not just a single mode of teaching, such as quizzes, test, discussions, etc.
Students will push against a structured learning environment. Learn how to identify the behaviour and work with that student so that he/she can participate effectively amongst the e-community
I learned how to identify and deal with different types of students. I will use this information to ensure I am engaging students in ways they will respond to the most.
Of course there are different ways to approach conflicts in the e- learning environment. However, if it is well thought out the instructor will take good measurement to reach out to the students as effectively as possible without letting the other’s learners know.
