With some lessons that cannot transfer from F2F to online, it was good to be reminded that new lesson may be required to achieve a new/similar result. It was also good to learn that my instructional units should be limited to just one or two, and to use only the most important supporting details.
On-going evaluation of the online course is essential when first converting a F2F course to online.
What have you learned from this module and how do you intend to apply it?
I learned to not just do what you did in a face to face class and just transfer it online. Online learning is a different situation and we have to create content that is relevant and engaging.
Create a learning course by modules that include only one or two learning objectives.
Teaching online verses F2F teaching takes some imagination and creativity. With the use of powerpoint, audio/videos and blogs are helpful ways for students to be engaged with the learning.
I definitely will be revamping the information, this was both informative and face-slapping necessary. From a F2F set up to an online class there were and are many aspects overlooked due to time and opportunity. Thank you for all of this!
Consistency and converting course for online material is crucial. The building blocks for achieving this is through organizational skills, maintain a consistent outline of how the course will be laid out online and how synchronized and asynchronized methods and technologies will play a role in shaping the teaching design.
Converting to online after teaching for 10+ years F2F is going to be a challenge. The questions given to ask in this process are something I will need to remind myself of to accomplish this change. Although we are switching midstream I do like the idea of a welcome letter. Organization is paramount to making this change in order to present the best course and facilitate the students in their journey.
I lerned that carfeul consideration is necessary when moving ground learning items to online learning envrionment.
Do not just turn a face-to-face class into an online course! Consider the student and the best learning strategies for that content in an online learning setting. Student engagement is one of my biggest concerns moving classes to an online structure. I like the idea of making sure multiple strategies are used each week, and keeping instructional units small.
Again, it is vital to be organized, willing to change how you are presenting important details and constantly evaluate the process in order to be successful.
While content in a F2F environment may be suitable, the same content should be adapted in an online class. Using websites to present the bigger picture of a few slides has already been an effective transition.
Each teacher must keep in mind that each course must comply with various educational strategies similar to a face-to-face course. In addition, they must assess one's accessibility, goals, and organization. It is always important to assess whether the course meets the objectives.
Keep the content engaging, be organized, communicate and provide feedback.
Teaching an online course can actually be an opportunity to create a more engaging, interactive experience for your students if you take full advantage of the available technology.
It is important for instructors to organize their course information in a consistent manner so students can understand where to find what they need and what is expected of them. It is also valuable to explain or introduce any support information that is provided so that the students can see how that material relates to what they are learning.
F2F teaching does not automatically translate to an online environment. It is important to consider the audience, organize info, orchestrate delivery, and continually assess the success of the course.
When transferring contents from a F2F environment to a online environment there are many things to consider. Make sure the contents is user-friendly for online learn, and keep all course contents updated along with technology.
stay consistant with your lecturing,find what works best for the students. keep communication open. need to stay organized at all times.
Thinking about F2F course transfer/conversion: Subject matter that requires the use of hands-on tools and materials that may not be presently available to students during this period of uncertainty. Potentially a problem-solving opportunity or an impediment...?
