I so appreciate being able to learn more about this subject and its implementation with my classes.
Hello everyone,
What I learned from this session is the importance on having a constructive syllabus that can guide students on their online learning. Also. learning different online tools is necessary to better guide students is a must to ensure their success.
E-learning should include building a community where students feel supported. It is easy to feel alone when taking online courses, so the instructor should help to facilitate peer interactions.
Scaffolding is an essential tool that allows learners to learn step by step.
Allowing students to use an alias may improve participation in online communities. I'm not sure if that is possible in Canvas?
I really liked that idea to periodically obtain student feedback by asking three simple questions: What should we stop doing in this course?/What should we start doing in this course? /What should we continue doing in this course?
Scaffolding is crucial for adult learner success. The syllabus is one of the most essential pieces in an online course as it is a roadmap for students and instructors to follow. It should be detailed enough for students to understand without explanation. I'd like to review the syllabus in my current class and ensure it matches the course (application of knowledge).
The most important concept for me in this module is scaffolding. Scaffolding builds upon prior knowledge, experience, and skills. Some students may need extra support to ensure they have concepts prior to moving to the next level of the "scaffold."
A clear and concise syllabus is very important. Scaffolding helps students to build on prior knowledge and both are essential in a well-rounded education.
I have learned that students need many resources for online courses, and should feel a part of a learning community.
The website tools available to use were helpful in allowing for different types of learning
Scaffolding provides support for student learning in online courses. Students integrate new knowledge with their existing understanding, guided by instructors who employ the following essential tasks. These include offering clear instructions, defining purpose, maintaining focus, providing assessments, directing to reputable sources, and minimizing uncertainty for effective learning outcomes.

Faculty can create a good online learning environment by using student-centered and engaging learning strategies through the use of chat rooms, and discussion boards that provide clear instructions and keep students on task.
A syllabus is a contract to assure the students know what is expected of them.
Creating a detailed syllabus is key to good communication and the scaffolding steps are beneficial for the students.
Online Communication with students needs to dynamic and adjust to the leaning needs of the students. Students come from different backgrounds and skillsets and learning needs to be adjusted through clear communication of the Syllabus and through scaffolding learning objectives in meaningful ways.
Developing a logical and well-structured syllabus is crucial for guiding students through the learning process in a clear and organized manner. A thoughtfully designed syllabus outlines the course objectives, expectations, and a timeline, providing a roadmap for students to follow.
Scaffolding is important for ensuring that students have or receive the knowledge that they need to be successful in the learning objectives.
Scaffolding will allow students to build their knowledge based on experiences. This can promote their willingness to learn more.
While our homepages are dynamic within courses, I learned the importance and use of a dynamic syllabus that not only employs technology to make the information more appealing and accessible for online students but also can change as both students and teachers identify areas for improvement within the course.
