As both an instructor and a student I feel that feedback is really important. It allows for students to ask questions and to review what changes need to be made.
The importance of using student evaluations and feedback to improve classes.
The 3 basic approaches to online teaching; I'd like to take these & expand on them to tie in adult learning theory frameworks.
I learned that there are several techniques for online teaching that are very important in many aspects, such as fostering community, enhancing the learning process, avoiding misunderstandings with students, etc.
There are definently a lot of responsibilities with online teaching. The content must be organized and consistent. Communication must be understood for online learning to be effective.
I learned the instructor in role of facilitator has a crucial task which is providing informative feedback to students.
I will evaluate student assignments to address communication and content delivery issues.
Engagement, communication and facilitation are all structure in learning styles.
Evaluations help the instructor evaluate how the course was received a great course has an instructor who works to facilitate good participation.
An instructor should keep an eye out for lulls in learning. Motivate and encourage when they see a lull happening.
I've learned that course/student evaluations are very important and can help the instructor improve the course. I will review student evaluations and incorporate ideas that will improve the outcome for my course.
That miscommunication can occur very easily. As an instructor you need to make sure that your students understand the material.
In my current role, I have definitely played or worn the "four pairs of shoes" - instructor, social director, program manager, and technical assistant. No matter what role I was/am playing, I believe establishing communication between myself and the students as well as providing and receiving feedback is essential in order to facilitate online learning and also have a satisfactory online learning experience.
Providing timely informative feedback is an important component of teaching.
It is important to assess the students learning needs. Look for feedback, correct all misinformation, and reassess teaching style to ensure the delivery facilitated learning and not confusion.
An engaged and attentive instructor is very important. Listening to and responding to students, being pro-active in communications, being organized and being a leader providing direction and feedback are very important.
Informative feedback is the most essential need of the student
What I learned in this module is that facilitator must provide feedback to the students on their progress and also give instructions on the assignment/discussion to guide student on the expectation for the assignment.
Feedback for online students is a great tool for them to continue being successful.
