Learn the different ways students try to maniulate the system and ways to address the issues
In this module I learned how to minimize attrition in on e-learning community. Due to feeling of alienation, over workload, competing responsibilities and technical issues, an online learner may suddenly decide to drop out. As an online educator, we are responsible for helping students how to manage their time and provide interem guidance.
I've also learned several behavioral management for asynchronous learners similar to synchronous classroom. I can deal with the procrastinators but the disruptive and the intimidators are the ones that are the most challenging for me to manage because it is difficult to modify behaviors that has been instilled in their persornalities.
It was especially helpful to learn to identifiy and intervene with attrition. This happens all too often in online learning programs and the tips provided were very helpful .
Use email carefully and respond to students promptly.
There are challenges that all learners face whether they are in person or online. The information on managing the challenging behaviors and redirecting the students to make the most of their online learning plan is beneficial in dealing with the potential fall out if the out of sync traits are not addressed.
e-learning can be intimidating for some students. Comunication, once again, can make the studetnt achieve their goals.
- Keeping course records.
- Communicating with students.
- Counseling students.
- Dealing with undesirable behavior.
- Resolving student conflicts.
- Minimizing student attrition
Very helful knowledge.
Online learners needs support. They can feel allienated due to student work load, personal obligations and poor technichal skills. When they feel allieanated, they may drop and attrition will increase.
We have an important role in keeping the students focused on the lecture as they my be distracted and or leave the arena for various reasons.
Some guidelines for managing counseling via e-mail are:
Inform learners that, depending on the nature of their inquiry, you may assign someone else to provide an answer.
Avoid promising immediate responses; however, try to maintain, as a minimum, a 24-hour turnaround time. Some inquiries may require shorter turnaround times. Use your discretion.
Provide learners with a list of the types of inquiry to which you are authorized to respond.
Students tend to procrastinate in the online learing process. I learned to keep then engaged and reminding the student of the discussions panels. it is important to keep them enagaged.
The importance of keeping records of all communications for whatever reason it has occured. Follow institutional gudelines for all intreactions and make sure students do the same. Send reminders to students that dont get it the first time and be supportive in following the rules.
There are different types of behaviors amoung e-learning students including: noisy, quiet, disruptors, intimidators, and procrastinators.
Learned how to spot different learning styles and how to address and handle them
I have learned that there are different types of online students. The quiet student, the noisy students, the procrastinators and the intimidating students. As an instructor I will be more mindful to recognize these kinds of students and be aware so that I will be able to deal with these students appropriately.
I learned that having good communication between yourself and the students is crucial for student success in an online course. it can be easy for students to procrastinate even if they don't usually procrastinate. That is why it is important to always post announcements and reminders about due dates and to make sure you are always checking in with your students.
In an online education environment, there must be clear deadlines, teacher monitoring and a tracking system that supports the student.
I learned the differents behaviors that will have the students. I will teach different ways to manage their behaviors to learn.
The type of learners was verry insightful to help rewcognize what types there are so that you can come up with an effective method to manage it to help benefit the student, keep it from interfering with other learners, as well as making sure it does not over take the instructor as weel.
I think I will be more aware of conduct and interaction between students.
