Creating modules and then editing which pieces need to be revised can save a lot of time while keeping the whole thing intact. It is always a good idea to save past revisions in case you want to go back to a previous version or want to look at course history. Some new ideas do not always work better and past revisions need to be put back in.
Not only does professional development help you better yourself but it helps your students out as well since they are always going to be getting the best version of you, and a version of you that is always growing and developing as an instructor.
Professional development benefits not only educators but also students, who reap the benefits.
Review courses periodically. Make sure hyperlinks are still working. Ask students for suggestions of what you should stop doing, start doing, and continue doing.
As an educator, it is important to continually develop professional skills through developmental courses provided by the educational institution or an off-site courses. Also, learning from other colleagues helps to incorporate teaching tips into the classroom. I will take advantage of the available courses online.
Inasmuch as I love to give my students more materials, providing too many sources/links that do not supplement the instruction, or providing them just to give students more information if they happen to seek it out, may go against good workload management strategies.
Evaluations and timely feedback are important parts of the online learning process.
Feedback fuels the teacher/learning process.
What I have learned is that revisions is important but also feedback is important to make sure you are hitting important points.
It is important to revise courses that you are teaching. This will ensure they are current and best for student learning.
I learned that taking an online course is a great way to understand your student's perspective when being an online instructore. It is essential that the syllabus has hyperlinks and materials linked in one location for easy access. The more we can provide assistance and materials and make it easy to find, the better we can assist students in an online course.
Course revisions are important they make the course materials clear and consistent
I learned that taking an online course as a student can be a helpful form of professional development, to better understand the student experience in an online course.
ive learned to always provide feedback however , teaching is number one
It is important to be selective when providing resources to students. If it is not certain that the resource is needed for the required learning outcome, do not provide it to the student "just in case".
Great idea for the syllabus to have hyperlinks to outside resources.
Saving links and digital materials saves time for other supports for class.
