It is important to assess what tools students have access to and use a tool/platform that is more appropriate and equitable for student participation.
I plan to integrate these tools into my teaching and administrative tasks to improve communication with students and colleagues.
We all know that communication is one of the most complex skills , this module reminded me that adding technology, it becomes even more challenging!
I've learned that most of my students prefer to use asynchronous methods of communications. They are adult learners with limited time and prefer to communicate when it is best for their schedule. This sometimes means I must make schedule adjustments to accommodate the students. Is this common to your experience?
I also have the opportunity to use the Remind app. The turn-around time can be very quick when using the Remind app.
I like using the Remind App for effective and timely communication with my students. Through the app, I can send them project of lab specific updates and any short notice class changes that might happen.
Online Language is here using AI more and more, hard to keep up with all the differences so make sure your technology is appropriate for your students and Instructor to implement effective learning. Scheduling available times and communication tool are required to be effective in Online Learning. Formative discussion learning during the course questions should be asked to make sure the group is staying up with the information. Summative analysis at the end of the course will help develop the best methods and use of Communication technology in the classroom.
Selecting the appropriate technology tools for the classroom is crucial for effective instructor-to-student (I2S) and student-to-instructor (S2I) communication within the course.
I've learned about how and when to apply different tools of communication. Each has pros and cons. For example, students may already be familiar with social media, but it may also be open to people who are not in the course. Or email can be very professional, but might be viewed as 24/7.
I learned that it is a wide variety of ways to communicate with online learners, and allowing feedback from your students can help these ways be effective moving forward. Also, setting clear examples and times for certain communications helps set boundaries and give you a work life balance.
There are so many different ways technology can be used in the classroom beneficially. You may have to try out a few different types until you find the best fit.
there are several tools to effectively communicate with students in an online environment. It is However, it is important to assess and reflect on a tool’s effectiveness to ensure proper usage and productive communication.
As technology grows, teachers must learn to evolve and adapt. Twenty years ago, I never dreamed of teaching students online or in hybrid classes. Since we are in the making relationship business, we need to be effective in all forms of communication.
I learned that you should survey the students for opinions on the effectiveness of technology.
I learned that you should survey the class for their opinion to see what is and what is not working.
I feel it is important to keep up with the various tools available for our tech-savvy students. Asking questions and expanding our own knowledge is very beneficial to the students.
Hi,
I have learned the value of using various methods of communication. To date, I mostly use email, frequently asked questions, discussion boards and Teams. I have not used personal methods like phone calls. I also see the value of asking for feedback during the course (which I have not done) as well as in the evaluation at the end of the course.
This is a good module for those who have never used online tools, but for most of us, we have first-hand experience with most of these tools.
It is important to asses the effectiveness of technology tools by obtaining feedback from the students. You may need to change the methods you use to improve student outcomes.
