Avoid last minute communications except for reminders of prior communications. Avoid all caps and provide incentive for students commnucation with other students
Communication is key. Participate or zero.
Reply to Lawrence Bufalino's post:Reply to Casey Puckett's post: use the syllabus and verbal reinfrocement to establish "ground rules" or protocol for engagement with studnets and instructor so everyone is aware of proper language and engagement.
I like the idea of providing examples for discussion question responses and the expectation. Many students will respond with good job or I agree with your response which does not enhance the discussion.
I think it's very important to set boundaries in communications. I'm an adjunct and work a full time job. My students know not to call or text me - send me an email that I can check on a break.
In this module I learned about the Netiquette, the pattern of communication that is needed including the consequences if not followed. The importance of promoting civility and respect between instructor and student was also discussed. This is all essential to establish in an online environment.
It is imperative to establish a Communication Code of Conduct to communicate accurate and organized information. It is also important to set regulations and go over them with students to ensure they follow the rules and understand the consequences when certain rules are not followed.
Giving clear parameters for communication can deter Text-speak and other forms of poor communication.
I learned that setting guidelines and making sure to communicate through feedback is important. Also, be sure to use a grading rubric that is well thought out and informative.
Civility in any and all communications is simply common sense and professional behavior and interaction.
Deloping a pattern if communication helps students to stay engaged and recognize your presence in the online environment. Setting expectations for response time and when you will not be available is important to help students manage their time and needs within the course.
Nice reminder on how it is important for instructors to set boundaries with communication, also to ensure communication is clear. I will set a detailed code of expected conduct so each student knows what is expected and the consequences.
It is importatnt to set the standards for communication and make them clear to students up front. It is also important to practice what you preach and stay true to those standards yourself.
HAving clear rules and regulation from the beggining is a must
Communication in an online course is almost more important than in a traditional classroom environment.
Love the fact of the discussion board, it is a way to collaborative communication if used correctly.
In this module I have learned that, as an instructor, it is important to model the types of communication that will be included in the online course. I will apply in my courses examples of such communication so that students understand what is expected of them.
Communication will always be the greatest tool that life gives us. The communication patterns presented are necessary and very well adapted to the diverse generational levels that we serve today.
In this module I learned the importance of establishing a Code of conduct to ensure the respect among all the participants.
Communication needs to be consistent and in a pattern. So that students learn your habits and expectations.
