As there are different students in the classroom there must be vaired methods of presenting and accountability for material. I will use both types after learning the advantages and disadvantages of both.
In an online setting it seems to me a combination of Asynchronous and Synchronous learning will be more effective. synchronous learning will be a very strong tool to use in engaging the student, and supported with asynchronous teaching design with the student further engaged by being held accountable for assignments being done either prior or post real time instruction. In all the success of the student and the teaching design, is directly dependent on organization, and communication. Organization will fortify the teaching pattern and benefit from results of a successful student completion of the specific assignment and or course.
Make sure you are organized and able to you the tech. tools effectively and in a familiar format so the students become accustomed to your way of teaching.
There are positive and negatives to teaching synchronus and asynchronus styles. The best form of delivery needs to be decided upon before the course content is developed. I wonder if the best courses could implement both to a degree. If they are set up as ascynhronus, but then provide a few different times a week for synchronus video chats, you could get the benefits of becoming acquainted and having a few face-to-face interactions.
I have learned the need to develop a very organized pattern of teaching, of how the information will be consistently presented to the student.
Understanding that synchronous and asynchronous teaching methods have important advantages and disadvantages. Our program will be using synchronous learning but closely evaluating for possible changes if needed. I do understand how important organization and communication will be during this time of transition.
Both asynchronous and synchronous learning models offer their own strengths. Utilizing both is an option in a hybrid form depending on the learning outcome.
Dialogue is essential in the process.
Communication! communication is the key to success with online instruction.
Here, I have learned that teaching on line must be organized to a specific pattern the students can follow and not feel lost during their class. This can accomplished through both synchronous and asynchronous teaching methos. Also it helps the instructors organize their classes as they follow a specific pattern.
Its imperative that an online instructor be organized and make sure students understand what is expected of them.
Learned the difference between sychronous vs. asynchronous
In this module I learned that is a significant difference between synchronous and asynchronous learning is instant messaging and immediate feedback. With synchronous learning, learners can receive immediate feedback from their fellow students or teacher through instant messaging. Asynchronous learning doesn't enable that type of interaction
I think asynchronous learning is going to be best for me and my students, I realize I need to have everything clearly laid out and prepared for them and will still be avaiable for questions or video chat if and when needed.
Both are different strategies of teaching. but I have used synchronous because I can interact more with the student and clarify doubts at the moment
I have learned that it is important to determine which method of online teaching works the best for the student. I also learned that communication and organization is key. Having an LMS to upload course content is an essential tool for easy transmission of assignments and exam.
I have learned that regardless of whether the class is synchronous or asynchronous or mix of both, the information must be organized and presented in a consistent manner so the students know what is expected of them. A well organized class that is presented in a consistent manner from week to week will help the students use their time and their tools to their best advantage.
Content delivery is important and must be appropriate for the course and course content. It is important that the instructor and students understand the components of the course and whether or not synchronous or asynchronous learning is essential to the learning process.
Organization and Comunication are key for when setting up your course. You need to make sure your students can progress through the course in its intended manner. Commuicate with your student in what you expect in them and let them know how to get ahold of you if they have questions.
I have learning communication is extremely important, and guideline must be set and understand by the students at the beginning of the course.
