Learning about all of the different types of e-learners was fascinating. I also enjoyed the tips given to deal with challenging e-students.
I learned the reasons that students drop out of classes, which was helpful to me. The noisy, quiet, disruptive, intimidator, and procrastinator categories seem accurate, although I haven't had many disruptive students.
Artificial Intelligence is already being used by my students for discussions and written work. It's still easy to recognize, but as it gets better, grading will be more challenging. The Email section is outdated-most of my students prefer texts, DMs, and posts on social media. For them, email is for old people. Many say they don't check their school email accounts very often.
It was interesting to learn about some of the different response types of students in the online learning environment as well as the tendency for some students to procrastinate it was helpful to identify some techniques to help combat some of the students that may dominate discussion boards or steer them in a direction that is not helpful for other students.
I learned there are different ways students have different learning abilities and behaviors, which they exhibit in classrooms as well as online.
n an online environment, procrastination can happen, which can cause a student to fall behind in coursework.
It's important to promote good communication with all students so they can feel comfortable reaching out about any challenges or concerns they may have.
The student type labels were informative. I have had an "intimidator" in my class before. I had to share the grading scale and say that I would use that as the measuring stick.
Online learning can be a bit difficult for some students but you are there to guide them and get them through it all.
Traditionally, I have retained information by class for the simple effective record-keeping system. Going forward, I will keep the 'best of the best' communications in a single file. Reason, there may be a great response to a particular question but the instructor may have forgotten which specific class it was referenced in. Thus, I will keep a tight log of, by example, instructions and will review them before posting. It is also important to keep this master record-keeping system up to date. Instructors should revisit content to keep the content from getting old or dated.
Procrastination is challenging for online learners, especially those with outside family or work commitments. I try to provide as many ways for a student to communicate with me as possible. REMIND is a free app for education where students and instructors can text each other, and the instructor can send group texts. It's been fantastic for students who have anxiety about online classes; they can reach me quickly.
In keeping detailed records and other information from communications is important. Online instruction is like the traditional class room except in the manners that the students are in person, so there are many different ways to reference what has been said including keeping a paper trail. Communicating with the students is also important because it helps them to learn more about their own communication skills and the retention of information that is being shared with them.
I learned that it is important to keep good track of your communication.
There will always be those that buck the system, befriend them constructively and keep your flow.
Implement a record keeping system. Keep to the policy of the institution.
There are many types of behavioral issues that we can come across and the ways to handle them.
Electronic Communication and keeping good organized documentation with students.
Valuable information on the different types of learning and strategies to be implemented in the e learning environment. Useful information presented on how to deal with student procrastination and improve attrition in the classroom.
Effective classroom management is at the core of a successful learning environment. To achieve this, I will consistently update course records to monitor progress accurately. Communication will be clear and consistent, ensuring that students are informed and engaged. To minimize student attrition, I will implement proactive strategies to identify challenges early and create an engaging atmosphere conducive to learning and success.

Responding to students individually will develop a relationship and trust with the student over time.
Communication from the start is what has to happen, I have found that the students are more successful when they know that they can reach out to me about anything.
